EASTER: chocolate bunnies, candy, jellybeans, Cadbury Creme Eggs, Peeps... 

What I See: high fructose corn syrup, refined sugars, colorings, GMO ingredients, hydrogenated oils, preservatives, and etc. ;-) 

If you are looking for a few healthier options for your children's Easter baskets here are some ideas:


Larabars  (peanut butter cookie and apple pie... Mmmmm) 
Yummy Earth Organic Candies (they have these at Walgreens in Spencer, Iowa or check your local health food store)
Organic Dark Chocolate Bars 
Popcorn (Make your own on the stovetop with coconut oil, organic non-GMO popcorn, sea salt- place in small bags or containers) 

Coloring Books and Crayons
Craft Kits (look for these at Hobby Lobby, Michaels or other craft stores) 
Cards or Board Games
Legos 
Gift Cards (movie theaters, amusement parks, museums, arcades, art classes, Itunes, Amazon, salon, etc)
Headbands/hair clips
DVDs
Books
Smart Phone Cover
Stickers


Balls 
Squirt Guns
Yard Games
Sidewalk Chalk
Sunglasses
Flip Flops
Seeds and Planting Pots
Umbrella
Bug Catching Kit
"Date with Dad" or other Coupons (homemade gifts are the best!)

**Check out your local Dollar Store, Target $1 section,  or Wal-mart for inexpensive items!
