The Mum's guide to Romford Easter Egg Trail

Since the beginning of the first lockdown we have all loved creating window displays and putting pictures in our windows for children to spot on their walks. We've had rainbows and pumpkins so why not Easter Eggs!

You can print one of these and once they are coloured or decorated, stick it on your window. The more people who get involved the better. We want to be able to see lots of pictures as we walk around our community. This is a simple activity that can be done while following the current Covid restrictions.

Download the design your own egg sheet here.

Don't forget to share this with your friends - let's get as many people involved as possible!

Have fun!
