An Easter Without Candy :) {With Linky}

not my photo, image googled from around the web.

We are having an Easter without store bought candy. 

Kids get enough candy on Halloween to last them a lifetime, and then Christmas rolls around, and Valentine's Day, then Easter....

My question to you is....

Do your kids REALLY need all that candy?

The honest answer is NO.

So what do you do if you don't give your kids candy for Easter?

• Make dinner time special. Let the kids help plan a special Easter dinner.
• Fill their Easter baskets with toys or educational items or things they need ( or skip the basket all together).
• Have a coloring fest with your childen. Print out these pages here.
• If it is nice outside where you live, do an Easter egg hunt, but don't fill  with candy....fill the eggs with point values that they can redeem for little prizes ( stuffed animals, key chains, etc).
• Have them give back. Give away previous years Easter bunnies to a charity or family in need. Or shop for new ones the share with those in need. There are children who would love to have what your kids have, even just once in their lives.
• If you must have candy, make it at home .....without sugar. I will post a recipe on here this week for you and link it to this post.
• Hardboil and dye Easter eggs with your kids, pick natural dye options for an extra eco friendly Easter.

Mostly, make sure to spend quality time with your kids on Easter.

What are we doing for Baby A?

I am making her my special home made peanut butter cups that are 100% clean. She will only get 2 ( they are made in ice cube trays).

We are getting her a stuffed bunny. We also got her a toy that she really wants.

We skipped buying the extra basket ( it only goes in the trash any way). Try instead setting up a display table for your childrens Easter gifts, without the baskets.

We also printed out the free Easter Bunny letter. Please see this post for the link.

What are you doing for Easter?

How are you keeping your Easter healthy?
