Easter’s almost here. What a delight it is to watch little ones wake on Easter morning and discover a basket of goodies just for them.
Of course, baskets need not be stuffed with candy only. Here are some non-candy ideas that are both fun and practical—that herald the onset of spring, more time outside, and family togetherness.
Bubbles
Blowing bubbles is so much fun and it’s a simple activity to get kids out into the fresh spring air. You can easily find bubbles of all sorts online or in local stores, but steer clear of those made in China if you’re concerned about toxic ingredients. You can also make your own bubble solution with water and dish soap.
