Easter! That chocolate-and-sugar injection that holds the kids over from Christmas to Halloween. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, Jesus (if you\u2019re into that kinda thing. And if not\u2026bunnies!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was so unbelievably prepared this year that I not only got stuff for the kids\u2019 baskets, but I also ordered actual<\/em> baskets<\/em><\/strong> to put said stuff into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truth be told, we\u2019ve been using cardboard Amazon boxes for the last several years, and if I was feeling really fancy, I\u2019d maybe even empty out a fabric-covered bin I’d found on a bookshelf somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So yeah, major Easter upgrade going on over here. To commemorate my got-it-togetherness, here\u2019s a roundup of all the good stuff we got, plus a few all-time favorites from years\u2019 past you might find handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Start with the Basics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Paper Easter Grass<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Make like you\u2019re saving the planet and go green with your grass (or pink, or blue\u2026)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Natural Egg Dye<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The key with natural egg dyes is using white eggs (which you need to make a point to buy if you’re the type to buy natural egg dye)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Incredible, Inedible…Eggs!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Eggs to Fill<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We like to deprive our children of fun, so we fill these with pretzels and crackers. And lemmetellya, they are thrilled<\/em> all the same<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Eggs to Shake<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Who needs batteries when you have the energy of a 3 year old? Just give ’em something to shake already<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Eggs to Make a Mes<\/a>s<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Glitter! Neon! A 12-pack! Kick that budding artist outside with any of these wonderful options. Sidewalk chalk for the win<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Throw in a Book and Pretend it’s Educational<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dot Marker<\/a>s<\/a> Book<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We’ve avoided markers as long as possible because we haven’t made it to “on the paper,” let alone “in the lines.” We’ll give them a little leeway this time<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/a>\"\"<\/center>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connect the Dots<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Old school connect the dots that don’t require markers, because who ever though that was a good idea to begin with? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/a>\"\"<\/center>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paint-by-Sticker<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Bunny Ears<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I don’t care how grumpy you are: bunny ears just make Easter cuter. And if your kids are “too old,” it means they’re old enough to be embarrassed when you<\/em> wear them (which is even better, no?)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/a>\"\"<\/center>\n\n\n\n

Muslin Kids Robe<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A bit of a splurge for a kids robe, but they love<\/em><\/strong> putting their robes on after baths, and I know we’ll pass these down. Plus their old ones are so small, they look like Chris Farley in a little coat<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/a>\"\"<\/center>\n\n\n\n

Giant Playsilks<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know how our kids find so much entertainment in these things, but I guess that’ll eventually happen when we refuse to turn on the TV for them. Parenting win, or child torture? You decide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Adults are People, Too<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
