Change Up Your Easter Traditions!
To prevent your child from trying to eat that whole chocolate Easter bunny, then proceeding to throw it up, we’ve come up with a few non-food ideas to help with the Easter festivities!
Easter Egg Filling:
Little kids (caution for little kids and small objects)

There is nothing like a competitive Easter Egg hunt; pinning sibling against sibling for the greatest number of candy filled eggs! We love tradition around here but… sometimes, it's good for traditions to evolve. Keep the traditions you love, and switch out the ones you don’t!
