4 Easter surprises to delight your children
Do you have young children? If you want to see their eyes light up this Easter weekend, prepare one or more of these delightful surprises:
1. Breakfast in bed. Turn a simple breakfast into a magical moment. Cook eggs and pancakes with fruit or waffles drizzled with chocolate. Serve hot chocolate with marsh mallows or freshly squeezed orange juice to delight your little ones’ taste buds. Let them enjoy their meal in bed while listening to lively music.
2. Easter egg hunt. Fill plastic eggs with can dies, small toys and chocolate, then hide them around your home or yard. For added fun, have your kids wear bunny ears and give them a pretty wicker basket to collect their treasures.
3. Puppet show. Create an Easterthemed puppet show. Invent a funny story featuring clumsy or mischievous farm animals. You can make your own puppets using materials you have at home—socks, for example—or buy some at a local store. Laughter and applause guaranteed.
4. A visit from the Easter bunny. Give your little ones an unforgettable experience by asking a relative to dress up as the Easter Bunny. This special visitor can hide chocolate eggs in the yard while you “spy” on them with your children. Perhaps your Easter visitor could read a short story before giving your kids little presents, like bunny plushies.
With a little imagination and preparation, you can make Easter even more special for your children. Take this opportunity to create last ing memories and have fun!
