Getting Easter-ready with Cadbury

I tend to start Christmas activities at least a month early, and on Saturday we did exactly the same for Easter. Easter is fast approaching, so we had been invited by Cadbury to celebrate the launch of the new Easter egg range and a debut Easter storybook by The Saturday’s singer Frankie Bridge.

The singer-songwriter, who is a mum of two, has launched her new book The Tale of The Great Easter Bunny in partnership with Cadbury this Easter, and the book, which is a re-adaptation of The Tale of the Great Bunny created by Cadbury 20 years ago, is now free to download from the Cadbury website.

At the Cadbury Easter event we had been invited to in Hyde Park, Frankie had the difficult slot before the Easter Egg hunt, but her book still seemed to captivate the children. The story celebrates The Easter Bunny and follows siblings Jack and Molly as they discover a series of mysterious clues and embark on an enchanting Easter Egg Hunt alongside their parents, Tom and Sarah.

Following the storytelling session at the event, Big Girl and Big Boy took part in a scavenger hunt-style Easter Egg hunt, racing around the garden surrounding The LookOut Hyde Park to search for clues and collecting paw print cut-outs. After filling up the cute bunny bags they had been given, they could swap their paw print collections for a canvas bag of chocolates, which practically made the weekend.

As soon as we left the venue they dug into a kind friend’s Cadbury Easter Egg Hunt Super Pack (£6.99) with a range of chocolate treats like hollow eggs and bunnies, and later in the day they started on the good-sized chocolate eggs in the Cadbury Dairy Milk Peter Rabbit Easter Egg and Toy Packs (£6.99) they had received.

I could see the toy packs being a popular choice for parents wanting to get little ones a special Easter treat–particularly since the Peter Rabbit soft toy in the pack is from the upcoming Peter Rabbit film–and the Easter Egg Hunt Super Pack is practical for organising family Easter egg hunts.

The Easter Egg Hunt packs will be ideal for families organising their own hunts, as there are a mix of chocolates in different sizes, and these could perhaps also be useful for hiding in fillable plastic eggs. The
