If you are one of the many parents that give their child an Easter basket then you know how tempting it is too fill the basket up with all that Easter candy from the Walmart/Target candy isle.
But should we be giving our kids all that candy? Don't get me wrong. My kids usually get their fair share of candy but we are all trying to make healthier choices and this year it's one small chocolate bunny only.

You can still give your child treats for their Easter basket. Here are some alternatives that I suggest.

Here are a few healhy alternative treats for your child's Easter basket:

1.) Fruit Leathers
2.) Real Fruit such as apple, orange, banana, peach,
3.)Yogurt Raisins
4.) Organic lollipops

And, try to not think that candy is the only kind of treat you can give. Here are some additional ideas?
How about putting a dollar in a plastic egg?
Or maybe give some sidewalk chalk or a squirt gun?
A traditional kite?
Maybe some collectible cards?
Seed packets for your little farmer.
A new book


If you have any other ideas feel free to share them here and maybe someone will use them.
