A few simple ways to add even more excitement in the days leading up to Easter! Whip up these healthy-ish, fairly inexpensive to make, DIY Easter snacks for kids.
DIY Easter Snacks For Kids
All it takes is a quick trip to the grocery store with around $30 in your pocket, and you’ll be able to create these five cute Easter eats for your kids (and watch their little faces light right up)! Pack them in their lunch, do one a day leading up to Easter, or roll out all of them at once – whatever you choose! Either way, it’s a great way to build anticipation around Easter. Plus, this is the easiest way to get your little one to enjoy a healthy snack – it’s an experience they’ll even tell their friends about! Getting artsy with your kid’s food is a great way to ensure your picky eater is actually consuming something (it works every time at our place). Friends, this is SO easy to do and you’ll be ‘Parent of the Year’…for a least a week! 😉
