We love Easter and we love chocolate! But what fab ideas are there going on across the capital to keep the little ones entertained?
Who Killed Nelson Nutmeg?
At first glance, you might think that this macabre sounding title isn’t intended for children at all! A murder? Have no fear for this is a charming children’s film in the vein of The Goonies and other classics of eras gone by. Fans of Broadchurch may well recognise the Dorset coastline in a number of the scenes as children at a holiday camp attempt to work out just who killed Nelson Nutmeg, the name of the camp’s mascot. Fun for all the family and it even features Harry Potter’s Ginny Weasley!
Jurassic Kingdom – London
Fans of dinosaurs unite for there is a lot of excitement to be had at Osterley Park throughout the Easter holidays! We adore the use of animatronics at corporate events or private parties and in this exhibition, children and adults alike are free to explore the Osterley gardens and parklands, uncovering numerous life-sized moving replicas of everybody’s Jurassic favourites. From the Tyrannosaurus Rex to the Diplodocus, Triceratops and Pterosaur, you’re sure to have an amazing time.
Make a Mess!
If you have children who struggle to stay clean, then making a mess will be right up their alley. At the London Museum of Water & Steam, guests will be able to take advantage of the museum’s Splash Zones, where kids can experiment with gears, levers, buckets, pipes and more, all in the aim of moving water from one destination to another. You’ll also be able to see live chicks hatching, take part in Easter arts and crafts sessions or follow the cool family trail.
Easter Chocolate Workshop
There are so many chocolate related activities and workshops going on this Easter that we’re unsure exactly which one to recommend though My Chocolate sounds incredible! You can help build a giant flat egg or chick from molten chocolate, learn to create marbled effects through an egg and learn the history of chocolate. Is there anything cooler than knowing historical chocolate history? Probably not. You’ll also be able to decorate your own eggs and presumably eat them too. Yummy! It sounds like something Lick Me, I’m Delicious would be all over!
