Last year we put a few chocolates into L’s Easter eggs, but for the most part the Easter bunny left her with NON-CANDY EASTER EGG SURPRISES and she LOVED it! Inside the eggs were buttons, a spool of thread (to string the buttons into a necklace), a lil plastic turtle, and strips of paper with fun activities for the whole family to do.
Some of the “ACTIVITIES” included:
- Hop like a bunny.
- Jump like a frog.
- Who can laugh the silliest?
- Give daddy a hug.
- Give a bunny kiss to mommy.
- Walk backwards.
- Clap and count to 10.
- Peep like a chick.
- Play ring-around-the-rosie.
- Roll like an egg.
Yes, it was silly and ridiculous, but we had so much fun!!!
