FOOD:

- Bunny Bread/Veggie Tray

- Hidden Surprise Pound Cake: Link is for a St. Patrick's Day themed pound cake, but if you change it for a flower or an egg, it's a great Easter treat!
- Breakfast ideas:
- Egg dying and decorating: There are a lot of ways to decorate eggs, however I am only doing ideas that leave the eggs edible. We love eating our eggs!
- Eggstravaganza: Dying with food coloring, natural dyes, impressions, tissue paper, crayons, rubber bands, stickers, Diva Eggs, Lady Bug eggs
- Painted Eggs (painted designs, fingerprint animals, bubble wrap)
- Crackle Eggs
- Space Invaders, Glitter and Snorkel
- Drip Art Eggs: These look fun and easy to do, but we haven't tried them yet. Stand egg upright and over something that will not get ruined (like a plastic plate). Place a drop of food coloring on the top of the egg. Mist the egg using a spray bottle. Add a drop of another color, mist again. Gently blow on the egg to make colors move in different directions.
- Monster Eggs: using glue dots, pipe cleaners, and stickers.
- Tattoo Eggs: Use temporary tattoos. Make sure is completely dry before following tattoo directions.
- Ombre Eggs: Place a bottle cap on the bottom of a wide 8-10 oz glass. Set egg on bottle cap. Mix up the dye (1 teaspoon vinegar, 40 drops of food coloring, 1/2 cup boiling water). Pour dye into glass until 1/4 of egg is covered. Let sit 5 minutes. Add plain warm water to cup until 1/2 the egg is covered. Let set 3 minutes. Add more water to desired level. Wait 2 minutes. Repeat if want additional stripes. Carefully remove with tongs and let dry.
- Egg Hunts:
- Hunting for Easter Baskets: We do a scavenger hunt to find their hidden baskets.
- Glow In The Dark Egg Hunt
- Basket Filler Ideas:
- New gear: soccer ball/cleats/shin guards/practice net, baseball cleats/ball/bats/bag/helmet/throw back, shoes: track/running, mouth guards, golf bag/balls/gloves/clubs, etc.
- Vouchers: Vouchers can be for anything! Examples: extra hour of TV/game time, stay up late, get out of 1 chore, money to spend at a store/amusement park/zoo/aquarium, etc.
- Star Wars Light Saber Popsicle Mold
- Slinky's
- Chocolate Maze
- Reese's Giant Peanut Butter Egg. Amazon sells some, but I found them cheaper at Target and the grocery store. I believe it was around $6.
- Lego's: any fun looking set, mystery minifigure packs, Mixel's (Amazon, Lego). Lego usually has holiday themed sets as well; this year is an Easter Egg Hunt Set. They also have a keychain of Batman dressed in a bunny costume!

- Bunny basket. Easy to make bunny basket out of a paper bag.
