Easter fun with Matalan
Earlier this month, when Matalan asked invited us to take part in some Easter activities to feature over on their blog, we jumped at the chance! I have been a huge fan of Matalan for years and although we often buy our clothes from here, and we love their Christmas gift range, I had no idea that they had so many lovely products for Easter, including decorations, clothing and craft sets!
We were kindly sent a range of Easter craft sets to try out, and Eva was so excited to try them. I’ll be honest, the thought of doing crafts with the children always sends me into a panic, the thought of having to come up with an idea in the first place, before trailing around the shops looking for all of the bits and pieces we need to create our “masterpiece” – and I use that term loosely! Which is why I love using these craft sets from Matalan which not only include everything we need, but come with full instructions too!
I love that the craft sets are designed so that children can do them with minimal help, something which Eva (our Little Miss Independent!) was very happy about.
As you can see, Eva was so proud of her egg and promptly asked could we hang it on the Christmas tree, I’m not sure she has quite got the hang of Easter yet!!
Up next was the ‘Making your own Easter mask’ kit which included a bunny, chicken and lamb mask. Eva chose to make the bunny mask and again, with all pieces pre-cut and the instructions very clear, it meant that she was able to do this with virtually no assistance.
She really enjoyed making the mask and the finished result was not only super effective, but super cute too!
Along with the crafts we were very lucky to receive a special Easter outfit, available from Matalan, complete with the sweetest bunny trainers I have ever seen! My only disappointment with these trainers is that they don’t come in an adults size 6!!
It has been so lovely to enjoy some Easter activities together this week, and with the sun finally making an appearance we are hoping for a lovely, sunny, and chocolate filled Easter!
Happy Easter everyone!!
We are big Matalan fans in this house I always seem to find just the perfect outfit in therr
It’s fab isn’t it? It’s my go to place for holiday clothes! xx
Oh my gosh those trainers are adorable! I love Matalan too, their homeware section is amazing and I always end up buying something when I visit. I had no idea they had such a great Easter range, I will have to check out as we have a Matalan close by x
Me too! They are so sweet, everyone compliments the girls on them! xx
These look great! Arthur has really started to enjoy doing arts and crafts since starting nursery – he would love these #twinklytuesday
They are lovely craft sets, I had no idea Matalan did this kind of thing! xx
We don’t have a Matalan nearby however they do goregous bits I love the look of the Easter crafts they will be perfect when Blake is a bit older
I love Matalan and often buy on line, it’s easier than dragging my four to the shops! xx
Oh we love Matalan but every time i go in and say i dont need anything i end up spending £££ lol Those trainers are too cute and my girls love anything pink!
Haha me too! I nip in for something small and come out with a trolley load! xx
Those trainers are so cute, do they go up to an adult 3 lol. I love the hanging Easter eggs, my daughter is older but I know she would love painting them.

Oooh lots of Easter fun loving the bunny masks in particular happy Easter darling! Xx
Happy Easter right back at you! xx
We don’t shop in Matalan but after reading this we’re going to pop in a have a look! Some great Easter treats there. The Easter mask is awesome!
Oh you should, the childrens clothing range is amazing! xx
Yes, Matlan is a great place for shopping. You always end up buying even if you don’t want to but then, who doesn’t love shopping? Keep up the good work.
Hahah yes that’s what I do every time we go to Matalan! xx
I am loving Matalan, I only recently discovered the store, the kids and homeward range is amazing and the price points are insane. I am in love with these Easter treats that your daughter is making and her trainers are the cutest.
Thank you! It’s a fab store, there is always so much I want to buy! xx
I am a huge Matalan fun and been shopping from them for years, they always have everything we need but didn’t know about the crafts either
Us too, I can’t believe I missed them! They have some amazing things in at Christmas too! xx
I honestly had no idea they had such lovely crafts.
Nor me!! I will be buying them in future! xx
What a fab selection. Loving the craft kits, perfect way to get into the Easter spirit! I wish they did those trainers in a 6 too! 🙂 xx
I know, you reckon we can cram our feet into a size 12?! xx
What a fantastic selection of crafting activities. Gorgeous outfit and shoes! 🙂
Thank you! xx
I’m not keen on the commercial side of Easter, and it worries me a little that we are expected to buy buy buy. I even saw a headline today that asked “Is Easter the new Christmas”? Arrghh! No thanks, I don’t think I could cope.
But that said, this is what I do like to see. Lovely Easter crafts, and themed activities for children to do and make. I didn’t know Matalan did such a good range. I love the feel of spring, and the brightness.
I totally agree, I saw there are now Easter trees and there are toys being advertised everywhere! I think it’s lovely to have family traditions to enjoy Easter as quality time together. We have enjoyed the build up with these crafts that really don’t have to cost the earth. xx
Those trainers are gorgeous. So cute. I’m actually going shopping tomorrow, the may happen to hop their way into my basket x
Haha I don’t blame you! xx
Those trainers are so sweet, beautiful photos and I love all the Easter crafts too
Thank you! We loved doing them! xx
oh how adorable is Eva???!!! I love that she wanted to hang her decoration on a christmas tree bless her!
