Have Some Fun With Easter
Eggs
Every year, children enjoy
festivities that include the coloring of Easter eggs, annual egg hunts and
other activities that have emerged through the years as a growing holiday
tradition.
Decorate An Easter Tree
Many families enjoy
various traditions of Easter, one of which includes decorating an Easter
tree. Just as you might decorate a
Christmas tree, an Easter tree is adorned with colorful ornaments. The most common decoration is plastic Easter
eggs, which are readily available at any retailer and in a variety of bright
colors. By threading a piece of yarn
through the top of a plastic egg, you can easily form a loop to hang on a tree
branch.
Coloring Eggs
Coloring Easter eggs is a
tradition, and it's also a favorite past time of many children. Coloring Easter eggs with family and friends
and the smell of vinegar that's added to the egg coloring will forever remind
you of the holiday and the pride that you feel when the eggs are
completed. These are just a few of the
fond memories that will stay with your child throughout their life and as they
pass the tradition on to their own children in the future.
Little ones love color,
which is partly why they love to color Easter eggs. A variety of hues, which can even be mixed
together to create custom colors are available in retail kits everywhere. In some cases, Easter egg coloring kits even
include a special crayon that children can use to write their names or even a special
message on the egg, which will be visible after the egg is colored.
The Easter Egg Hunt
Children love to hunt for
Easter eggs and, come rain or shine, it's important to be ready to accommodate
this tradition. If it's raining outside,
make plans to have an Easter egg hunt inside your home. You can use real colored eggs or even plastic
eggs if you choose. A fun way to make
the hunt exciting is to hide little novelties or rewards in each of the plastic
eggs, which may include small toys (pay close attention to age
recommendations), candy or even a dollar bill.
The Easter Basket
Many parents enjoy
surprising their children with Easter baskets.
You can either custom make these yourself with a basket, Easter-themed
filling and toys or candy of your choosing, or you can purchase a pre-made
basket. Either way, it's fun to surprise
your child with his/her very own surprise on Easter morning. Plastic Easter eggs are ideal for hiding
small presents inside, which makes them perfect accents for a basket. Another fun way to use Easter eggs, either
plastic or real, is to place them in a line that acts as a trail to the Easter
basket. Create a trail leading from your
child's room directly to the gift and when they awake in the morning, they can
climb out of bed and enjoy the excitement of following a trail that leads to
their very own Easter basket filled with gifts.
