But we stick to mostly chocolate, gum, jelly bellys and some malted balls (my favorite!) But we also do put some gifts in the basket. I usually get them activity toys; real yoyos or slinkies, kites, chalk, bubbles, etc. Honestly, what the kids love the most are the egg hunt and following the clues to the basket. I forget how excited they get. Hope the eggs are as fun for you as they were for us! I have to admit we do the candy thing.

I didn't want to do a big candy basket and didn't want to flood him with more cheap toys. I thought that we could hide out from the commercialized holiday. And then, my neighbors came over smacking gum, showing off toys and bragging about all the Easter bunny left them. It didn't dawn on me to make hard boiled eggs and dye them. So, here it is Easter Monday and we are going to dye eggs with the stuff we have in the kitchen cupboard. Thanks for the ideas! This is the first year that my son even noticed Easter.
