Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have made Easter special for their twins by putting on an extravagant Easter egg hunt.

The singer and her presenter husband set up a huge egg hunt for twins Monroe and Moroccan, sharing photos of it with their followers on Instagram.

In snaps from the fun family day, they showed a rooftop decorated with helium balloons, giant soft toys and stacks of prizes for the lucky twins to win as they searched for chocolate eggs.

Mariah and Nick also posted photos of their daughters painting brightly coloured eggs, their house decorated for the festivities and family pictures of them dressed up for Easter, the singer in a fluffy pair of bunny ears.

Nick captioned his photos: "Such a beautiful day! #happyeaster," and "The Easter Egg Hunt was going down!!"
