You don’t have to break the bank to enjoy family fun over the holidays – or enjoy full peace of mind with MiWayLife.
Easter in South Africa isn’t just about great weather and marshmallow eggs (although both of those are great), it’s a time for family togetherness. But as every parent knows, keeping kids entertained during the holidays can quickly become expensive. The good news? We’ve got a few pointers on budget-friendly activities to enjoy with your family – and a smart financial move that should be part of your plans.
DIY Easter Egg Hunt at Home
You don’t need a fancy venue to host a fun Easter egg hunt. Use your garden, local park, or even your living room to hide chocolatey treats. For an extra challenge, create a treasure map or a set of clues for the kids to follow.
Enjoy a Picnic in the Park
South Africa’s beautiful public spaces, such as Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in Cape Town or the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden in Gauteng, offer free entry to kids under a certain age and are ideal for any Easter outing. Why not plan a picnic?
Get Crafty or Culinary
Entertain the kids and encourage their creativity by painting boiled eggs or making cards using recycled materials. You could also teach older kids to make South African Easter classics, like pickled fish, homemade hot cross buns or cupcakes topped with Speckled Eggs.
Have an Easter Feast at Home
Fire up the braai and put the kids to work, allowing them to help whip up simple side dishes like pap, salad, or garlic bread. Enjoying delicious food in your backyard or a local picnic spot is an affordable way to create lasting Easter memories with your loved ones.
Check In With Your Local Mall
Many shopping centres host free or low-cost Easter activities for families, from egg hunts to face painting. Checking in with your local mall’s website or social media pages can help you discover fun and budget-friendly outings close to home. (If you're in Cape Town, Canal Walk Shopping Centre is bringing Bluey to town! If your kids adore the animated Aussie pup, don’t miss this chance to meet him "in real life" on the 25th of April.)
Why Life Insurance is a Must for Every Family
While Easter is about making happy memories, it’s also a reminder of the importance of family and looking after them. Having a solid financial safety net ensures that your loved ones and MiWayLife is proud to offers affordable life insurance for maximum peace of mind. By investing in a life insurance policy, you’re making a responsible decision that safeguards your family’s future while allowing you to enjoy every holiday worry-free.
