Want to put some magic into your child's Easter bunny experience this year? How about making Easter bunny tracks?

Here is how to make believeable Easter bunny tracks:

First get some powder or flour.

Sprinkle it around the Easter baskets or leading to and from the Easter baskets in an easy clean up area.

Then use your hands and the tips of your fingers to form rabbit tracks.

Your young kids will really like this.

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.

Since Easter is coming soon I thought I would round up some fun Easter games for my son and I came across a whole bunch of arcade easter games online courtesy of Kaboose that I want to share with you too. You can go straight to the games by clicking here.

Some of the Easters games are:

The Great Easter Egg Hunt

The Great Jelly Bean Grab

Eggs of Destruction.

Looks like tons of fun for ages 4 (pre-k) and up. My 6 year old son will really like these games when I show them to him after dinner this evening.

How do you & your children celebrate Easter Sunday?

For most children, Easter is ALL about the Easter bunny, hunting decorated eggs, and those big chocolate bunnies. Our children are no exception. They love coloring the eggs, getting the Easter baskets, and eating the goodies that accompany their baskets.

Since we celebrate Easter, it's hard for me to imagine someone NOT celebrating so I wanted to ask who celebrates this holiday and what exactly are your Easter celebrations? What does your family do? Do you attend religious services? Do you buy easter baskets for your kids? Do you dress your boys and girls up in fancy clothes? What is Easter all about for your family? I'd love to hear about all the differences.
And, for the next week until Easter we will be featuring lots of posts, sites, and resources about Easter. Easter is Sunday April 8th, 2007. Happy Easter.
