Easter Baskets Big on Fun, Not Candy

Easter is a time for enjoying chocolate bunnies, peanut butter eggs, and other candies.  There has been a lot of talk about childhood obesity in America and many parents, including myself are looking for other options to fill up our little ones baskets.
I have gathered some ideas to share with everyone.  All of these are based around other fun suff with a bit of candy mixed in.

1. Movie basket.....Grab a movie, microwave popcorn, juice boxes, a comfy blanket, and a box of movie candy, place in a "popcorn" bucket.

2. Summer Fun.....Pick up an inexpensive beach bucket, add in a fun each towel, sand castle tools, floaties or a swim ring, blow up beach ball, sunglasses, and don't forget the sunscreen.

3. Little Diva Basket.....For the little "Diva" in your life, pick up bright colors of nail polish, nail stickers, lip gloss, hair accessories and a cute bin to keep it all in.  For a special touch, add her name in glitter.

Hope this helps make Easter a bit easier for everyone.  Be creative and have fun finding items that won't put your kids on a sugar high.
