Another fun treat is sidewalk
chalk. This is the perfect time to draw on the sidewalk with the
weather warming up. Plus we get enough rain in the spring that your
driveway or sidewalk won’t be decorated for too long.
Homemade Playdough
Make some playdough using your
favorite homemade playdough recipe (we have one at kinderinfo.com).
Get a couple of small playdough toys to go along with it and let the
fun begin.
Toys from the Dollar Store
You can also pick up some very
inexpensive toys at the dollar store. I have found anything from
Easter themed coloring books to kites in there. This is also a great
place to shop for the Easter baskets themselves, as well as some
plastic Easter eggs that are great for hiding small trinkets and
treats.
Of course every child should have
some special treats in the Easter basket as well. Along with the
obligatory chocolate bunny, include some healthier treats.
Chocolate and Yogurt Covered Raisins
Both chocolate and yogurt covered
raisins look like little mini Easter eggs and are a yummy treat.
Fill a small cellophane bag with these sweet treats and tie a pretty
bow around it.
Trailmix with
Jellybeans
Mix some low sugar cereal like
Chex, or Cherios with some small pretzels, peanuts, raisins, and
some jellybeans for an Easter inspired Trail Mix. You don’t have to
feel bad about your kids filling up on this. Pour your trail mix in
a small bag, or fill some large plastic Easter eggs with the mix.
