Coloring hard-boiled eggs is a long-standing tradition for many families for Easter. The only problem is when the adults hide several dozen eggs, but the kids don’t find them all. Yup - stinky eggs will eventually help you find them AFTER Easter, I suppose!
Parents now use plastic eggs, and fill them with all sorts of treats. There’s always chocolate and jelly beans, but now you can get stickers, quarters, Legos, mini-plushies, and sidewalk chalk.
The kids’ Easter basket itself can now hold things like the cloyingly sweet Cadbury cream eggs, coloring books and crayons, mini-cans of Play-Doh, card games, Pokemon cards, bubbles, and clothes! You still need the big chocolate bunny (although they’re rarely solid chocolate now). But the big question is, do you go for the bunny ears or bunny butt first?
Or perhaps an adult Easter basket would work - cured meats, cheeses, jams, gourmet crackers, a couple of bottles of wine… ![]()
So - what’s going in your Easter basket and/or on your Easter table, if you celebrate? And even if you don’t, tell us what’s for dinner!
