This Sunday we are celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Chris. EASTER!
You wouldn't really know that if you visited your local Target's Easter section. Unfortunately Easter is another holiday that is associated with baskets upon baskets of candy. I went to Target yesterday to get some things for Sophia's class Easter party, and I think the only thing there that wasn't candy were decorations. At least in that section... I did find some little bouncy balls and Annie's snack packs to stuff into some eggs for their egg hunt.
When I was there, I was stopped by a women who asked me what she could buy for her 11 month old Nephew. I had both girls with me, so she probably assumed I was a baby expert. :) I gave her a few ideas; books, bath toys, clothes...
I know there are probably way more people out there who need help in this department and while I'm no expert, I made a list for you!

Great ideas! We lived up north as kids, and my mom always gave us fun colored chalk in our baskets since it was finally nice enough for us to write on our sidewalk! It's a good memory and no junk candy 😊
ReplyDeleteYes, chalk is such a fun outside activity!
DeleteGreat suggestions! This makes want to make lots of Easter baskets!! (Hmmm... maybe I will have to find an excuse to make one for my parents or a friend!)
ReplyDeletelol Easter baskets for everyone!! :)
DeleteI love this! I always feel bad for the kids that are diabetic on these candy-laden Holidays. I think this is part of why we have so many obesity problems in the US. With Vday, Easter, Halloween, etc it seems like everyone always has a massive candy supply in the house. Kids don't need a huge basket of just candy.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I absolutely hate that the Easter sections at stores are filled with 2 things: baskets and candy.
