festive and fun easter snack for toddlers

I’m a holiday lover, through and through. With each holiday that rolls around, I usually proclaim that it’s my favorite. In reality, I really think Thanksgiving may be the winner, but it’s Easter that holds a close second. The weather changes, we can enjoy being outside again, and the spring colors come out. All is right at Easter time.

Since I’m a big-time holiday lover, I also love incorporating holiday themed ideas into our day-to-day activities. Simple and fun ways to spread holiday cheer seem to make even the most normal days extra special.

One of my favorite things to do at Easter time is to use the plastic eggs, the ones that come in a huge pack for just a couple of dollars. They’re an easy and inexpensive way to add Easter cheer anywhere.

You can cut an egg carton in half (because a dozen is just too much), and add plastic eggs filled with your toddlers favorite snack items for a quick and fun snack at home.

 

Or take it a step further and make this into a breakfast or lunch treat. Here are a few ideas for other ways to use the plastic eggs to serve your childs food:

Breakfast:

• Mini pancakes
• Mini waffles
• Fresh fruit
• Cheese
• Hard boiled eggs
• Mini cinnamon rolls
• Scrambled eggs

Lunch:

• Cut up grilled cheese or sandwiches into small squares
• Fresh fruit
• Cheese
• Raw veggies
• Crackers
• Deli meat cut into chunks
• Goldfish
• Raisins
• Hard Boiled Eggs
• Weinies cut into small pieces

Snack:

• Fresh fruit
• Fresh veggies
• Cheerios
• Goldfish
• Crackers
• String cheese
• Deli meat
• Gummies
• Raisins or other dried fruit

The possibilities are endless! You can even stick a few eggs filled with their favorites straight in the lunchbox and forgo the whole egg cartoon.
