3 Adorable Bunny Buys For Easter

by

Every year we play host to a Easter Picnic in our local park. Every year I add a little more to the “theme” box and this year was no exception. Our Easter picnic takes place Easter Sunday so we have had the full enjoyment out of these new supplies. I didn’t want you to miss out on them so I am sharing them before the party.

Oriental trading gave me some store credit and I loved getting the most for my buck with these fantastic buys!

Giant chocolate bunny –  $5.18 –  He is either going to be the centerpiece or a photo prop. I think he is so cute that everyone will want a photo with him.

Easter Carrots. $6.98 a dozen. These were so cheap I couldn’t resist I am thinking a garland or a few throwing games for the adults depending on the wind conditions.

Hoppy Sacks – $14 a Dozen. I probably bought too many of these 24 to be exact without thinking that the 20+ kids could actually take turns and play in heat rounds. They seem very durable and are sure to last more than a few picnics which is fantastic.

I have some more great ideas too but you will need to wait to after Easter to see those.

Here are a few more of the great buys I bought.

Glitter Easter Tattoos  $5 for 72.

Chocolate Bunny Poem Kit. $5.68 for 12.

last Year we used these stickers on mason jar’s for salads and rice salads to go.

Reflecting on the Past Year with Kids

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

  • Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
  • NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
  • Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
  • The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
