A delicious Easter recipe for children to try:

This resource features an incredibly delicious and easy to follow recipe for some gorgeous Easter Egg biscuits.

The recipe is as simple as it is delicious and doesn't require any fancy equipment or ingredients, just an oven and some basic kitchen utensils. And you'll only need to use basic cooking skills, such as baking, beating, and kneading, making it a perfect Easter recipe for children who are new to baking or just starting to build their confidence when it comes to cooking.

For children who are already confident with their baking skills this could be a great opportunity to see if they can follow the recipe themselves, though remember to keep them under supervision!

Making these Easter biscuits would be a perfect activity on the last days of term before school breaks up, or, if you're a parent, it could make a lovely activity to do together over the Easter holidays.

Once finished, this Easter recipe makes biscuits in the shape of an Easter egg which can then be decorated with sprinkles and icing sugar. They'd be a real treat alongside a nice hot cup of tea or coffee. Children could even personalise the decorations and give them as gifts this Easter.

There's a lot for children to be excited about over Easter - the Easter bunny, the fascinating Easter story, and the first signs of spring blossoming outdoors - but for many the first thing that comes to mind is food. From Easter eggs to hot cross buns, Easter really is a bit of a dream holiday for anyone with a sweet tooth.

The food we have at Easter is also rich in symbolism. For example, the cross on hot cross buns represents the cross Christian's believe Jesus was crucified on, whilst Easter eggs are symbolic of his resurrection. This means that cooking Easter food is a great opportunity to teach children about the origins of Easter, as well as making some tasty treats.

So why not try out another Easter recipe to use alongside this one. Here are a few of our favourites:

Bunny paw biscuits
Shaped like cute bunny paw prints, these easy Easter biscuits make a fun baking project to try with the kids or to make for friends and family. Little hands are ideal for rolling and shaping the simple vanilla biscuit dough and making the thumbprints ready for icing. White or pink icing looks most like traditional 'paws' but you could try any colour you like.

1. Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl, then add the egg and a few drops of vanilla extract and mix well. Add the flour and stir until the dough starts to come together then tip out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead gently until it forms a smooth ball of dough. Wrap in clingfilm and chill for 30 mins.

2. Divide the chilled dough into 20 pieces (each weighing about 25g). You will need 2 pieces of dough per biscuit. Roll the first piece into a smooth ball. Split the second piece into 3 and roll each into a small ball.

3. Line a baking tray with baking paper for the finished biscuits, then place another piece of baking paper on the work surface to shape them on (so that they don't stick). Take one of the larger balls and place on the paper. Use a little water to wet one side, then position the 3 smaller balls along this edge (to create the 'toes'), using the water to stick them in place.

4. Press down with the palm of your hand over all 4 balls to flatten them slightly - the overall biscuit should be about ½cm thick. Make indents for the icing in the middle of the paw and within each 'toe' using your thumb or forefinger. The biscuits will puff up quite a lot in the oven so make sure the indentations are quite firm - if the dough cracks, use a little water to help smooth it back into shape.

5. Transfer the shaped biscuit to the lined baking tray and repeat with the remaining dough. Cover the tray with clingfilm and place in the fridge to chill for another 30 mins.

6. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Bake the chilled biscuits for 30-35 mins until golden, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.

7. To make the icing, place the egg white in a bowl and whisk gently until frothy (reserve the egg yolk for another recipe, see tip below). Whisk in the icing sugar gradually until fully incorporated and continue whisking for 5 mins or until the icing holds soft peaks. If using the food colour, stir through a few dots of the gel to reach your desired colour.

8. Use a teaspoon (or small piping bag) to carefully fill each indent in the cooled biscuits with the icing. You may want to tip or jiggle the biscuits to help the icing flow into the holes evenly. Leave the icing to set before serving.

Tip: Save the egg yolk to use in another recipe. It can be used to glaze pastry such as in these Goat's cheese and filo parcels, or to make a rich, creamy custard as in these gorgeous Rhubarb and custard tarts.

Using recycled materials for crafts:

We all know how much children love to do crafts, but sometimes, these activities can get expensive. Especially if you're having to buy lots of lovely paints, colouring pencils and other materials just to keep them busy. We all know how often accidents happen when we're doing activities with our children, so sometimes that expensive set of felt tip pens simply doesn't last long. That's why it's important to utilise things we have around the house and save them for craft activities. Using things like egg boxes, old cardboard boxes and even plastic bottles is not only cheap, it also helps us to reduce waste and gives us an opportunity to teach children about taking care of the environment.

Easter time brings mixed emotions for parents: the kids are off school and we can enjoy a break from busy morning routines. But with school breaks come bored children, and punishable spring time weather. One idea that will keep kids of all ages content for an afternoon is by doing some crafty fun with an Easter twist. There are plenty of art and craft ideas around the web for you to choose from, here at Schooldays.ie we've picked our favourites:

Decorated Eggs

One of the easiest and ubiquitous Easter crafts is egg decoration. Dating back to early civilization, eggs were decorated and seen as a symbol of spring, fertility and Christian beliefs of resurrection. Now, kids and parents enjoy giving sweets or chocolate eggs at Easter time after Lent, but also using the eggs and egg shapes for crafts and games.

With bits and bobs found around the house this is lo-fi and budget craft fun with the kids. What you need: Eggs!, PVC kid's glue, glitter, food colouring, paints, coloured thread, pencils, and permanent marker.

There are literally hundreds of different ways to decorate an egg using the supplies above. You can hard boil the eggs to keep shape or 'blow out' the yoke by draining it. For a simple activity that small kids can do like dyed eggs, dip eggs in food colouring and when dry, draw designs with coloured pencils.

For glittery eggs, wash the egg in glue and dip it in glitter, or hundreds and thousands, and leave to dry. For amazing colour, try threaded eggs using coloured or embroidery thread: Dip or spray egg in glue, then cut a length of thread of different colours. Then, close to bottom of egg, begin wrapping twine around egg with different thread until you reach the top. Then glue.

You can place the above decorated eggs in a painted egg carton or special Easter themed basket.

Easter Toilet Roll Holder Bunny

The origins of the Easter bunny is said to began with German folklore, when a bunny or hare, the symbol of fertility in antiquity, would bring children decorated eggs on the eve of Good Friday. Nowadays, the Easter bunny is the second (after eggs) most prolific symbol of this time. Here is an easy craft you can do at home with the kids: What you need: Toilet roll holders, scissors, paint, markers, googly eyes, cotton wool, and glue. Paint the toilet rolls whatever colour you like and leave to dry.

Cut out strips for ears and paint with same colour. Secure ears with glue and stick on googly eyes. Draw face with markers and stick on cotton balls for fuzzy bunny tail and you are done!

Egg Carton Chicks

Easter chicks are a symbol of Easter with 'hatching' often relating to Christ's resurrection, but also a symbol of pagan springtime farming, fertility and reproduction. Little yellow chicks are essential part of an Easter craft, Here's what you need:

Egg carton, scissors, glue, paint, yellow or orange card, and a marker.First, cut two egg holders from carton and glue paper hinge together and paint yellow. Cut out orange triangles for beak and feet, with yellow triangles for wings. Use a marker to draw eyes. Fill with candy treats or small chocolate eggs

A delicious Easter recipe for children to try:

This resource features an incredibly delicious and easy to follow recipe for some gorgeous Easter Egg biscuits.

The recipe is as simple as it is delicious and doesn't require any fancy equipment or ingredients, just an oven and some basic kitchen utensils. And you'll only need to use basic cooking skills, such as baking, beating, and kneading, making it a perfect Easter recipe for children who are new to baking or just starting to build their confidence when it comes to cooking.

For children who are already confident with their baking skills this could be a great opportunity to see if they can follow the recipe themselves, though remember to keep them under supervision!

Making these Easter biscuits would be a perfect activity on the last days of term before school breaks up, or, if you're a parent, it could make a lovely activity to do together over the Easter holidays.

Once finished, this Easter recipe makes biscuits in the shape of an Easter egg which can then be decorated with sprinkles and icing sugar. They'd be a real treat alongside a nice hot cup of tea or coffee. Children could even personalise the decorations and give them as gifts this Easter.

There's a lot for children to be excited about over Easter - the Easter bunny, the fascinating Easter story, and the first signs of spring blossoming outdoors - but for many the first thing that comes to mind is food. From Easter eggs to hot cross buns, Easter really is a bit of a dream holiday for anyone with a sweet tooth.

The food we have at Easter is also rich in symbolism. For example, the cross on hot cross buns represents the cross Christian's believe Jesus was crucified on, whilst Easter eggs are symbolic of his resurrection. This means that cooking Easter food is a great opportunity to teach children about the origins of Easter, as well as making some tasty treats.

Bunny paw biscuits
Shaped like cute bunny paw prints, these easy Easter biscuits make a fun baking project to try with the kids or to make for friends and family. Little hands are ideal for rolling and shaping the simple vanilla biscuit dough and making the thumbprints ready for icing. White or pink icing looks most like traditional 'paws' but you could try any colour you like.

1. Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl, then add the egg and a few drops of vanilla extract and mix well. Add the flour and stir until the dough starts to come together then tip out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead gently until it forms a smooth ball of dough. Wrap in clingfilm and chill for 30 mins.

2. Divide the chilled dough into 20 pieces (each weighing about 25g). You will need 2 pieces of dough per biscuit. Roll the first piece into a smooth ball. Split the second piece into 3 and roll each into a small ball.

3. Line a baking tray with baking paper for the finished biscuits, then place another piece of baking paper on the work surface to shape them on (so that they don't stick). Take one of the larger balls and place on the paper. Use a little water to wet one side, then position the 3 smaller balls along this edge (to create the 'toes'), using the water to stick them in place.

4. Press down with the palm of your hand over all 4 balls to flatten them slightly - the overall biscuit should be about ½cm thick. Make indents for the icing in the middle of the paw and within each 'toe' using your thumb or forefinger. The biscuits will puff up quite a lot in the oven so make sure the indentations are quite firm - if the dough cracks, use a little water to help smooth it back into shape.

5. Transfer the shaped biscuit to the lined baking tray and repeat with the remaining dough. Cover the tray with clingfilm and place in the fridge to chill for another 30 mins.

6. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Bake the chilled biscuits for 30-35 mins until golden, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.

7. To make the icing, place the egg white in a bowl and whisk gently until frothy (reserve the egg yolk for another recipe, see tip below). Whisk in the icing sugar gradually until fully incorporated and continue whisking for 5 mins or until the icing holds soft peaks. If using the food colour, stir through a few dots of the gel to reach your desired colour.

8. Use a teaspoon (or small piping bag) to carefully fill each indent in the cooled biscuits with the icing. You may want to tip or jiggle the biscuits to help the icing flow into the holes evenly. Leave the icing to set before serving.

Tip: Save the egg yolk to use in another recipe. It can be used to glaze pastry such as in these Goat's cheese and filo parcels, or to make a rich, creamy custard as in these gorgeous Rhubarb and custard tarts.
