Plastic Easter Eggs Are Not Just For Jelly Beans Anymore – Add Some Egg-Citement To Your Easter Egg Hunt!
Easter is just a HOP, skip and a jump away! Are your kids tired of finding boring jelly beans in their plastic eggs? Why not surprise the kids this year with something different?
Here are a few egg-filling ideas to create more Easter magic in your home:
• A Personalized Letter from the Easter Bunny – how cute is that? Obviously the Easter bunny would have so many positive comments to boost your child’s esteem and confidence. Make sure to use the words hippity hop, egg-citing, eggs-trodinary and egg-stravaganza.
• Bunny Money – this clip art “money” is found in the eggs by the kids to be used to purchase items displayed on the “bunny table.” The items are mainly inexpensive trinkets and items they would need. A few ideas might include a whoopee cushion, pool toys, a new swimsuit, a Frisbee, a pack of gum, movie tickets, and lottery tickets.
• Coupons/gift certificates – homemade or store bought. Older kids love a coupon to get out of completing a chore or staying up late. There are lots of websites that offer free coupon templates. All you need to do is personalize the coupon and print. Teens love a gift card to their favorite clothing store, fast food chain or iTunes.
• Clues – the kids will be so excited to go on an Easter basket treasure hunt. Non-readers can have clues which are clip art images and older kids can have riddles guiding them to their next egg clue. The more egg clues the better!
• Movie tickets – who doesn’t like a free movie pass? Maybe there will be enough movie tickets for the entire family to enjoy a movie on Easter.
• Easter Dessert – fill small containers full of ice cream toppings such as sprinkles, crushed cookies, gummy worms/bears, marshmallows or chocolate chips. Place the small containers into large plastic eggs. All the ingredients can be used to make a yummy Easter ice cream sundae!
• Adult eggs – why not fill a few large eggs with trinkets for your spouse. Who said finding Easter eggs is only an activity for kids?
Enjoy this special time with your children. Why not put in the extra effort to ensure even more wonder and excitement? You’ll be glad you did! Remember, you only have one chance at giving your kids an amazing and magical childhood.
