Who doesn't love Easter? Seriously....I love Easter, my teeth however don't.
I remember as a youngster looking forward to the "Hunt" and the egg coloring and the playing around all day. Sadly, now a days I live in Northern Ontario, so the kids can't look outside because we still have SNOW....I'll deal with the weather person later...gggrrrr...anyway, where was I?
Oh yeah, Easter.
Today, the wife and I went to Walmart to get a "few" Easter treats and we spent a "few" bucks, only 100.00 not bad for treats and gifts etc.
A few great gifts for Easter are emerging for the creative person. Outside of the usual items:
Chocolate Bunnies
Chocolate Candies
Who am I kidding...CHOCOLATE EVERYTHING (sorry :))
Anyway a few great things depending on age are also the following:
Bunny Ears, great photo memories
Bunny Suits, use this one at your own discretion, payback when the kid(s) grow up could backfire ;)
Bunny Arts and Crafts, drawing items, crayons, pencils, something to draw on, i.e canvass...so you don't have to repaint the living room....aaahhh memories....not an impressive one either.
Kids love chocolate, but they also love the experience. So make it a memorable day.
Have a pancake breakfast and shape them like bunny ears or something Easter-ish
Create an Easter Pinyata and grab a stick - let the kids battle it out, trust me great fun for the kids.
Have a contest that whoever gets the most eggs gets a prize. We tell the kids the winner gets to pick dinner....sometimes it's a bad idea but hey it's once a year.
Another great idea is marshmallow Easter baskets. The kids love this because they get to create it:
Grab a few baskets, eggs, coloring stuff...you get the idea.
There are so many things to do, get creative and have fun.
The kids will love it, so will you.
Until you clean up ;)
