Easter Bunny Bags

Cut paper bags to make bunny-ear shapes, then draw on a bunny face with a black marker and finish it off with a pom-pom tail. Fill it with all of their chocolates, candies and other holiday treats as you would a normal basket!

Hollow chocolate bunnies and larger chocolate eggs that can be broken into smaller pieces are safer Easter candy options for toddlers under the age of 4. Wafer-like cookie candies like Kit-Kats are another lower-risk, easy-to-chew treat option.

If you have little ones in the house, you might want to read them an Easter story. You could even play Easter games like Easter trivia or spend the afternoon making Easter crafts. There are also plenty of ideas that make the most of the spring weather, including planting flowers, playing sports, and having a picnic.

Start with a chocolate Easter bunny, then add the recipients favorite candy, a few small toys, or even inexpensive jewelry. For older kids we love to fill a few eggs with money (think small bills!), drop in a few $5 gift cards (especially if it's a teenage easter basket), or even some sample-size toiletries.

Hide the Easter eggs in obvious places rather than under or inside other objects. Visual clues, rather than written ones, are a great way to help toddlers and preschoolers with the egg hunt. Try cutting out large coloured arrows to direct them the right way or up the excitement level with a very basic treasure map.

Small yogurt snacks are also great for filling eggs. Choose ones that are sugar-free and made with real fruit. You can also buy mini granola bars packed with fruits, oats, and other healthy stuff for kids to snack on. Finally, tiny boxes of raisins are also the perfect size for filling eggs and filling up tiny tummies!

Spread a thick layer of shaving cream on a cookie sheet. Add 4 or 5 drops of food coloring to a small section and mix it around with a toothpick or a straw. Roll an egg in the dyed shaving cream and let the shaving cream sit on the egg's surface for about 10 minutes. Pat excess off with paper towels.
