This Easter, create kids and children's Easter baskets that are fun to give and a joy to receive...without the sugar rush!
Do the children in your life love to draw? Create Easter baskets full of art and coloring supplies! Choose a wide, roomy basket and fill it with quality crayons, markers, colored pencils, construction paper, Easter themed stencils and coloring books. For painters, you can even add a palette of paints, some brushes and a small easel. Don't forget the pretty Easter bow to finish it off!
Spring is right around the corner, so how about kids and children's Easter baskets filled with gardening goodies? In a basket decorated with flowers, you can place potting soil, seeds for flowers and vegetables, child sized gardening gloves, and an easy and fun to read gardening guide.
Lots of children love to help in the kitchen with cooking, so Easter baskets with a cooking theme are sure to thrill the little chefs in your life. Instead of a traditional basket, you can decorate an oversized pot with Easter decorations. Fill the pot with child friendly cook books, easy to use kitchen utensils, and a variety of spices. Include easy to cook ingredients like pasta in fun shapes.
Does your child have a favorite activity? Load up kids and children's Easter baskets with the things they love the most. Themes include karate, soccer, dancing, singing, and much more. Stickers, books, videos and other items highlighting the favorite activity can fill a colorful Easter basket.
For children who have been experiencing a long, cold winter, Easter baskets celebrating the spring will be much appreciated. Take a sunny colored basket and fill it with items they can use in the spring such as a ball, a Frisbee, a set of jacks, a set of marbles, a jump rope, chalk and even sunscreen.
Inspire reading this Easter by giving Easter baskets full of reading fun. Create kids and children's Easter baskets that overflow with books that will interest and excite them. You can even include comic books and favorite magazines. Kids love them, and they count as reading, too!
With the economy on the down swing lately, there are many children who are in need this Easter. Create special Easter baskets that you can donate to children in need. Fill the baskets with healthy treats, soap and toothpaste, small toys and playthings, even a gift card or two to a local supermarket. This Easter, you can put smiles on the faces of children and their parents with Easter baskets that bring necessities and care.
When it comes down to it, kids and children's Easter baskets with special themes are creative and fun. And they last much longer, and are much healthier, than a basket full of chocolate and candy.

Getting your Easter shots with the weirdo at the mall dressed up as the Easter bunny is ok when you're a kid. But what do you do when you want some professional looking happy Easter photos of you and the family?
First of all, why would you want your family portrait taking at Easter time? Well it has become quite the tradition to mark as a moment in history the taking of some happy Easter photos around this time so that you can look back over the years to see how everyone has changed.
Of course, when it comes to getting everyone together, dressed up really smart, and getting them to stand still for over 10 minutes could be a recipe for a nervous breakdown! Especially when you still haven't sorted out Easter dinner for the group of 15 that you have coming over next week.
So appreciate and come to terms with the fact that no matter where you choose to get your happy Easter photos done this year, they wont be perfect, and the experience should be enjoyable. The moment things start to get tense and unenjoyable, then you should maybe think about pulling the plug on the whole deal. If all else fails, try bribery, tell your kids that you'll take them to the movies if they behave and stand still.
What Choices do we Have?
So most of us know about the scary Easter bunny at the mall, but should we give our money to this guy for our happy Easter photos or shall we fork out the dough for a professional. Well it depends what you want, the Easter bunny guy will do an ok job if all you're after is a blurred and washed out Polaroid for 20 bucks. But if you want some lasting photos taken with a decent camera and lighting then you need to dig a little deeper.
The problem with using these professional places for your happy Easter photos, is that the more prints you have them run off for you the more expensive it can get. So if you just plan on placing a few around the home, and maybe one for you desk at work - then these will be fine. But if you have a plethora of friends and family that would all like a quality print then this could cost you thousands.
There are cheaper options however that could still get you some pretty decent look Easter snaps. Next time you're down the mall, walk right past the guy in the bunny suit, and check out some of the semi-professional photography studios that they are likely to have. These wont cost anywhere near as much as the independent studios but they still use Easter backdrops and lighting umbrellas to get some great looking Easter photos of you and the family.
I find the best approach is to get some professional shots done at one of the studios for close family and friends, maybe 5 prints of varying sizes. The good thing about the photo studios on the mall is that they will have Easter promotions on offering 5 prints for 50 bucks etc. So I would normally go for a package like this for personal use, and then take some pictures of the family in the yard at home to send to family and friends.
Personal digital cameras have come on a long way over the past 5 years and the average camera now is at least 5MP which is more than enough to capture some great happy Easter photos around the house to email and send to friends and family.

What is Easter, and what are we celebrating on this holiday? As the first syllable of the very word 'holiday' suggests - it is a Holy day. Is there anything necessarily wrong with painting eggs, Easter egg hunts, bunnies, or chocolate? Absolutely not! In fact, such activities often accomplish the very goal of Who it is we celebrate and recognize on this Holy day - the goal of being with and strengthening family relationships. However, much like the majority of holidays, it is certainly easy to get caught up in the commercialization and symbolism of the celebration and forget why, what, and Who the symbols were originally intended to represent. Should Easter be fun? Of course! Should we color eggs, hide candy, and eat a lot of chocolate? Absolutely! But should we not also ensure that it is a Holy day where we think of, learn about, and seek to follow the very Symbol of this Holy day - the Savior Himself. He is the purpose of the holiday, hence the reason it must also be a Holy day.
Below are listed 10 fun and meaningful activity ideas for families and individuals everywhere that will help make Easter fun, memorable, and Holy.
1) Make it Holy-day: Spend at least a few minutes reflecting upon, learning more about, and expressing gratitude for the very reason and Person we celebrate on this Holy-day.
2) Give Easter to a Family in Need: Find a family who may be struggling or who has very little, and make it a memorable and special day for them. Make an Easter Basket for them - buy or make them a gift, a meal, get some chocolate and candies for the kids, etc.
3) Easter Egg Hunt: What would Easter be without one, right?
4) Dying Eggs: Hard broil some eggs, get some food coloring, and color Easter eggs together as a family. (Draw on the eggs with a white crayon before dying them to create designs).
5) Symbolism of Easter: Spend a few minutes each year learning about the symbolic nature of the colors, dying eggs, traditions, rolling eggs, Easter bunny, etc. What do these things really symbolize and represent.
6) Visit Graves: Go to the graves of family or friends and talk about death, as well as the Resurrection.
7) Decorations: Like any holiday, decorate the house (inside and out) with Easter decorations.
8) Worship Service and Scriptural Readings: Attend a religious service, participate in the Passover traditions and activities, read scriptural passages from the Bible, etc.
9) Meaningful Easter Egg Hunt: In addition to hiding candies in the Eggs, hide scriptural passages inside some eggs. Then, as the kids eat candies, read some of the scriptural passages and remember the significance of the day and holiday.
10) Family Day: Just spend time as a family together. Share a meal, play games together, and enjoy just being as a family.

Pastel colors and cotton balls, Easter grass and yellow peeps - all bring to mind baskets of eggs, bunnies and pretty little girl dresses. Ah Spring. After a long cold winter, it's fun to start planning spring-time and Easter projects with your kids. Here are a few fun ideas for Easter crafts and yummy snacks that your kids can help make and of course - eat!
Paper Bag Easter Bunny
1 lunch sack for 1 paper bag
Pink, white, and black construction paper
Scissors
Crayons
Paste
Cut a V notch at the top of each lunch sack. Start at the top center and bring your notch down. This will form the ears. Close the bag and lie flat. Then cut your notch with both sides of the bag together. This will be the bunny ears. Cut out ear shapes with the white construction paper and glue onto "ear" of the bag. Cut a smaller piece in pink for the inside of the ear, or reverse the colors. Cut out a small triangle of pink for the nose and paste it in the center where a nose would go. Draw in your eyes or you could cut them from paper or even add wiggle eyes. Cut out a rectangle piece of black paper - about mustache size. Then make cuts from each side of the short end towards the center of the paper without cutting all the way through. Do this several times on each side to create whiskers. Paste this above the nose. Now draw two circle cheeks and connect the mouth from the cheeks to the nose like a kitty mouth. Open up bag and it can now be a bag to collect eggs from your class egg hunt or to take crafts home in and then use for center piece at home!
Easter Jelly Bean Fudge
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 (16 ounce) container vanilla frosting
2 cups miniature jelly beans in pastel colors
Line a 9-inch square pan with foil and grease lightly. Melt the chips according to the package directions or in a heavy saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Add the frosting and stir until the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. (Fudge mixture
should still be easy to stir, but not hot enough to melt the jelly beans.) Add the jelly beans and stir well. Spread the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and cool to room temperature. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Remove the foil and fudge from the pan together and place on a cutting surface. Carefully remove the foil and cut the fudge into small pieces. Makes 3 dozen pieces.
Edible Easter Baskets
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 cup miniature marshmallows
3 Shredded Wheat biscuits, crushed
Jelly beans
Place butter in medium bowl. Microwave at 100% for 30 to 45 seconds or until melted. Add marshmallows, stirring to coat. Microwave at 100% for 30 to 60 seconds, or until marshmallows puff and mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in crushed cereal. Shape into Easter baskets and when cool, fill with jelly beans. Makes 4 to 6.
