Easter is a rejuvenating family time, full of feelings of renewal and rebirth. While I find the winter holidays stressful and draining, Easter comes as a suggestion of spring, and I like to make it special in our family. I've always loved this spring holiday, but I have to try to keep it interesting to my family. Here are three of the ways that help me do that. * Children, by ages 7 or 8, start loosing interest in the Easter Bunny and begin to become more interested in art, chemistry, and making messes. You can make food coloring dye at home by mixing a cup of boiling water with about 30 drops of dye and a teaspoon of vinegar. Let the dye cool before dipping the eggs. For creative designs, before dipping the eggs in the dye, write over them with a candle, bind them with rubber bands, or wrap them in waxy dental floss. After dying them, remove the bands or dental floss to uncover the fun designs youve made! You can also explore boiling your eggs in various kinds of tea for more softly colored eggs. Make sure to put the eggs in the refrigerator until you're ready to eat them! * To make Easter a holiday for the entire family, dont forget to think up something special for your husband. Chances are that he wouldn't enjoy a marshmellow bunny or chick, but I'll bet he'd still get a thrill out of an Easter basket. Just be certain that it's aimed at more adult tastes! Last year I ordered my husband a gourmet cheese and wine basket. On Easter morning, while he was still sipping his coffee, I hid it in the house along with the kid's Easter baskets. I plan to make that an annual tradition. While the kids are happily biting into some of their chocolate eggs and marshmallow bunnies on Easter morning, my husband and I make plans for enjoying our gourmet Easter basket and some special quiet time at the end of the day. * Long after the identity of the Easter Bunny has been discovered, every member of your family will still enjoy the Easter basket hunt. Whether you do it inside or out, whether a race or a leisurely look around, whether the booty is to be distributed among everyone equally or the finder gets to keep winningsthe variations are numerous! Be creative and develop your own family Easter tradition over the years; adapt the tradition as your kids grow-up, and your whole family will have a memorable Easter holiday ! ------------------------------------------This article is courtesy of the online source for many types of gift baskets, including fruit gift baskets. |
