Recently a few of my friends and I started talking about Family Easter Traditions. Most of my families are just the normal ones, Easter Baskets, Egg hunt, Nice Dinner. I have been wanting to start some new ones. I want my kids to associate certain holidays with their beliefs. So I came up with the Secret Easter Bunny. Similar to a Secret Santa but an egg hunt of sorts. My kids can pick out some treats and dollar store toys and find joy in serving and helping others. Christmas only comes once a year, but many families need help year-round. Or do it to surprise a family you know and love.
Here are some ideas you can put in the bucket:
giftcard to local ice cream or yogurt parlor
cake mix and frosting
glow sticks
cookie cutters
flower garden seeds
frisbee
bubbles
sidewalk chalk
a gift card to anywhere
card games
Write thoughtful notes
money / coins
treats
Add this little printable to the empty bucket to be left on the doorstep.
Have your kids be super stealth Bunnies and hide all the eggs and toys in the yard. Once you are done leave the bucket and printable on the door, knock and run. Who would not love to find a surprise Easter egg hunt? My kids would be on cloud nine if we found this at our door. Most of all have fun and do it as a family. Enjoy!
I would love to hear how this turns out if you do it!
