Easter

By GalPractical

No crap Easter baskets, Easter activities, & books

Look, I will 100% be putting candy in the Easter Eggs, but my kids think it's pretty fun to find a few "special eggs" in the hunt each years. All of these "egg-tra" prizes are relatively cheap, fun, will get played with, and will fit in the smallest plastic eggs (I tested them for ya 😉)

But, the real question is: what's the best Easter candy: Cadbury eggs or Reese's PB eggs?!

NO CRAP Easter baskets! (Remember no crap stocking stuffers?!) Our Easter baskets usually have USEFUL things related to spring/summer in them! Swimsuits, sandals, goggles, and a small outdoor toy or pool toy option. 

All of these options have worked out great at our house: bath, water tables, splash pads, pools, beaches, or vacations. They all easily fit in a pool bag or...an Easter basket 🐰 

And that seek and splash game? The biggest hit of them all! If you're competitive at all, you may be surprised how much adults can get into it too 😜

NO CRAP Easter baskets: Part 2: we're calling this one our outdoor/spring summer road trip basket. Ok, it doesn't really flow, but whatever.  I added some honorable mentions at the bottom! Be sure to check out my part 1 post too!

Honestly, I feel like the favorites could rotate on any given day.  My kids were back and forth. All of these were a hit and it truly does just depend on how messy you wanna get! 

Order of mess (least to worst) + TIPS 👇🏻 

1. Eggmazing: simple, little to no set up or clean up, markers only. Only one kids at a time can use this, unless you buy 2. So, that's a con. A Pro: This will work on fake plastic eggs as well. 

2. Fizzy eggs:
•Make a paste using a 1:1 ration of vinegar & water. We found a muffin tin works best.
• Add gel food coloring & combine
•Paint the eggs (we put them in an empty muffin tin.
•Once painted, drop vinegar on! You can spoon it on or use medicine droppers of any kind. 
🌟 The reaction is the best part! This one hands down kept both my kids entertained the longest as they kept repainting eggs & doing it all again! 

3. Whip cream/Cool Whip eggs:

•Soak your eggs in vinegar for 5-10 min before coloring. This helps the color stick better. 
•Fill a muffin tin with whip cream or cool whip that's thawed. 
•Add gel food coloring. You can do multiple colors in each tin (I recommend it!), but when you go to combine the colors, use a toothpick and DO NOT stir together completely. You want it to be more swirled than a solid color. This gives best results!
•Use a spoon to put the eggs in the tin and move them around.
•Once they set about 15-20 min (the longer the better), rinse under color water! 

*Eggs do NOT have to be hard boiled. I didn't hard boil any of these and only 1 broke. But, I live life on the edge like that 😉 Do what makes you most sane! 

Which way you trying?!

Kraft paper is the gift that keeps on giving I tell ya! It's one of the most versatile supplies I have. After the big success I had with the Kraft paper gingerbread man, I had to let the good times roll & see how it would go with an Easter egg 🐰. Success! 

Tips:
🌟 The more variety of art supplies you give your kids the better! They'll stay entertained longer. 
🌟 My son and my daughter both loved this one! If you think "my kid won't do this" see below for tips to spice it up! 

Tips:

Grade up:
•Add a motor component. Have your kids do 10 jumping jacks or ball bounces every time they changed art utensils. (I.e. they got from a marker to a crayon) 
•Put art supplies on the other side of the room. When they want a new one, they have to bear crawl, roll,  dribble a ball, etc to get to them
•Instead of you drawing the designs, have your kids create the designs inside the egg before coloring them in 

Grade down:
•If this is too overwhelming or too big for you kid, then give them a bunch of smaller eggs on a smaller sheet of paper and have them individually decorate each one 
•You draw the designs inside the egg to give your kids a more clear idea of what to decorate

I am NOT hating on an Easter Basket, just showing you other options that the Easter Bunny may be interested in! My practical brain loves that these options don't sit in storage all year round, but rather get used! I mean, come on. You can't beat that?! 

If you still are a fan of an Easter basket the two options at the end of the video are under $10! The yellow Target basket is $3 (!!!) and your kids can decorate with the included letter and Easter stickers.

$3!!! What?! Good for Easter goodies or egg hunts! Includes Easter stickers & letter stickers for kids to add their names to the bucket. My kids loved decorating these & for $3 I don't care what if they break, get dirty, or fall apart!
