Easter Magic
A Soft & Sweet Easter – Magical Ideas for Little Celebrations. Wholesome traditions, playful ideas, and darling details for a memorable Easter with your little ones
At LRDM Petits, Easter is less about perfection and more about togetherness — the kind that feels like childhood magic. Whether you’re planning a quiet Sunday morning at home or a sweet garden gathering, we’ve collected our favorite Easter ideas to make your celebration extra special, playful, and of course, photo-ready.
1. The Paper Tablecloth Trick – Let Them Draw the Day
This simple idea has gone viral for a reason — it’s sweet, creative, and keeps little hands busy while you enjoy your coffee.
What to do:
Use a large roll of kraft paper or white butcher paper as your tablecloth. Place a jar of crayons or pastels on the table and invite the kids to draw Easter bunnies, write messages, or trace around their hands and plates.
Add a little magic:
• Write each guest’s name in soft calligraphy near their place setting.
• Draw little flowers, eggs, or leaves across the table.
• Leave hidden notes or riddles for an egg hunt right on the table.
Bonus: It makes clean-up beautifully easy.
2. A Dreamy Easter Table – Set the Scene
Think natural textures, soft pastels, and touches of whimsy.
Ideas we love:
• Linen napkins tied with velvet ribbon or dried lavender.
• A small nest at each place with chocolate eggs inside.
• Handmade name tags, or eggs with names painted on them.
• Mini bunny ears for the little ones
Decorate with fresh flowers or wild garden picks in glass jars, and don’t be afraid to let the table feel playful and imperfect — the magic is in the charm.
3. Bake Something Together – Sweet & Simple
Easter baking is one of our favorite traditions — not just for the treats, but for the sticky fingers, shared laughter, and flour-dusted cheeks.
Kid-friendly recipes:
• Bunny Scones – use a bunny-shaped cookie cutter and serve with jam & cream.
• Mini Carrot Cakes – bake in muffin tins, top with cream cheese frosting and a marzipan carrot.
• Easter Sugar Cookies – let little ones decorate with pastel icing and sprinkles.
• Hot Cross Buns – classic and cozy, served warm with butter.
Set up a little baking corner with aprons and wooden spoons, and let the mess happen. It’s all part of the memory.
4. The Easter Egg Hunt – Hide, Seek, Giggle
No Easter is complete without a proper egg hunt! Whether it’s in your backyard, a park, or even inside the house, make it playful and personal.
Make it extra special:
• Write each child’s name on their eggs or give them their own color.
• Add handwritten clues or riddles for older children to follow.
• Hide small treasures inside – tiny toys, stickers, or little love notes.
• Use wooden or reusable eggs for a sustainable touch (and decorate
them together beforehand!).
Outfit tip: A romantic tutu, floral print, soft cotton shirt or polo adds to the charm — especially for capturing those mid-hunt giggles.
5. Capture the Moment – Photo Magic
This is the kind of day you’ll want to remember.
Set up a little photo corner:
• A linen sheet hanging from a tree or wall as a backdrop.
• Bunny ears, little baskets, and spring flowers as props.
• Let the children be wild, silly, and themselves.
Golden hour (just before sunset) is the best time for soft, glowing photos — and don’t forget to jump in the frame, Mama and Papa!
6. Create a Keepsake – Easter Memory Book
After the day winds down, gather your children and create a tiny memory book together.
Let them draw what they remember, paste in polaroids or flowers they picked, or write what they loved most. It doesn’t have to be perfect — just real and from the heart.
Final Thoughts – It’s About the Feeling
Whether your table is fancy or simple, whether your cookies burn or your eggs are hidden too well — Easter, like childhood, is all about feeling the moment. The sweetness. The play. The magic of being together.
From our family to yours, we wish you a soft and joy-filled Easter full of giggles, sprinkles, and slow, golden moments.
With love,
LRDM Petits
