Gift Baskets for Easter can be healthy. What? Really Easter doesn’t have to be only about chocolate Easter baskets. So here are some chocolate ideas and some Easter ideas to fill up a gift basket without being all about Easter Candy.

Try these:

• Toys from the Discount Store
• Sidewalk Chalk
• Bubbles
• Playdough

Toys from the Discount Store
Pick up some toys. There are plenty of stores that have a inexpensive tpy section.
The General store will have things like coloring books, dolls, trinkets, all easter themed.
If you still need candy and plastic eastereggs for those little things you want to hide or baskets for easter then the dollar store is a great place to look.

Sidewalk Chalk
Now that the warm season is heading our way the kids need to get out more. So give them some give them the chalk for writing on the sidewalk that is such a fun treat.
No worries about the decorations as it washes off in the rain.

Bubbles
Must blow bubbles. I have never seen a child that doesn’t like to blow and pop bubbles. This is even something that can be played inside if the rain or bad weather keeps them in.
Sure keeps the kids of all ages busy.

Playdough
Pick up some things that the kids can make shapes and stuff with maybe at that dollar store. And get different colors of play dough. If you have a plastic tablecloth or table this can be played indoor or out. Kids love to mold and squish playdough.

Now we also must have candy right. But it can be healthy.
Now I’m not saying not to include the easter chocolate bunny or all those other bunny treats. I’m just suggesting some healthy ones too.

And Now Here come the Healthy Easter Snacks:

• Trail Mix that includes Jellybeans
• Chocolate Covered Raisins
• Yogurt Covered Raisins

Trail Mix that includes Jellybeans
This is a recipe for an Easter snack that is crunchy, munchy, and sweet.
Get these:

• chex
• cheerios
• pretzels
• peanuts
• raisins
• jellybeans

Now mix that all together. Put this into bags or easter eggs. The whole family munch out on this.

Chocolate Covered Raisins
Yogurt Covered Raisins
Want to give them some mine eggs for Easter that are healthy too. Then get some of the chocolate edibles such as covered raisins.
Get the covered raisins with the yogurt coating and the chocolate coating and put them in a colorful wrapper with a tie.

OK now you put all this together with that fat chocolate Easter bunny. You will give a great easter for kids with this combination.
