Our Easter bunny leaves flower seeds for our girls’ sister gardens. This year I just read of an idea about putting puzzle pieces in the eggs, then the kids can put the puzzle together.

I LOVE the idea of giving back to nature, I’ll incorporate that as well.

For my 6 and 8 yr old boys, the Easter Bunny fills baskets full of books, seeds, kid’s gardening gloves and little hand tools. It’s Spring, after all and they love to grow things:) Of course she sneaks a few peeps in there as well. Moderation in all things is key!

I know you said to email… but here I am.

My daughter is 15 months. So she’s getting a couple of stuffed animals.

For my son, I was able to find some really sweet, inexpensive trinkets and small toys. We got sticker filled eggs, a bubble filled sword, a white cloth bunny with markers, a mini “Rabbit Express” train set, and a couple of plushy balls to throw around. We gave him one piece of foil covered chocolate.

My husband is working hard on an Easter egg hunt here at home. We’re going to use stickers, quarters, and other trinkets we think he’ll enjoy.

I like to use this gifting opportunity to replenish art supplies for the kids. The Easter Bunny is very creative you know! (But I still do chocolate…)
Also, since we are not Christians, we have an annual ritual at Easter time of giving gifts to nature. The kids and I collect scraps that the birds can use in nest building and put them out in the yard for them to find. It is a lot of fun watching to see what is taken each day, and while we are out in the yard we take a look at nature to see what is springing up and looking for bunny tracks in the mud.

In past years, Elizabeth has found a coloring book, bunny socks, a Spring themed mug, sidewalk chalk, and a stuffed lamb in her basket. One year, it was butterfly stickers and a My Little Pony dressed in bunny ears.

Additionally, we always include a sweet treat; a foil wrapped chocolate bunny or Pez dispenser or Cadbury chocolate eggs (Mommy waits all year for those!). To me, it wouldn’t be an Easter basket without some sugar; moderation is the key.

I like the idea of coins!

Coins in the plastic eggs. (Now, with teens we put quarters or bills.)
