With Easter around the corner, families are getting busy for the celebration. Chocolate eggs are flying off the shelf in stores and families are planning meals and shopping for them. Although a religious celebration, many join in for its cultural aspect, especially if there are kids at home. The once homely celebration is now quite the commercial hullabaloo.

Keeping Kids Busy
Most parents get busy around the holidays. They use the extra holiday to catch up on long pending chores and cleaning up the house. It's also a time when parents and kids can bond over some play and food.
Here are a few things parents can do to keep the kids busy while they wrap up their chores:
1. Get the kids to work on a simple craft on their own.
2. Start a drawing activity and let them finish.
3. Parents who want their kids to use their time constructively could print out some science worksheets
4. Give the kids some simple chores to help with the big meal.
5. Ask the kids to lay the table
6. Get the kids to put together some table decoration.
7. If your guests have kids, get the kids to come over early if possible, so they can hang out together.
8. If they like online games, let them play it for a while.
9. If the kids would rather just read, let them enjoy their time.
10. Ask the kids to put together some active Easter games.
Make sure the kids and the adults don't consume too much chocolate with all its sugar. Do make sure you do not waste the chocolate for it's a water intensive product. If kids are kept engaged, there is a lower probability of their getting cranky. It's a holiday. Bond with the kids. These are precious moments which will never come back. Happy Easter to all of you!
