Easter activities to keep a little Elf out of mischief

The Easter Bunny is so busy this year, hopping around the world and delivering his yummy Easter eggs, he simply doesn’t have time to call at the North Pole. But fear not! The elves have taken a well-earned break from making toys for Christmas and whipped up a few of their favourite Easter treats themselves.
