best kids easter toys image
Plastic
As a new parent i need some idea's ^^
Their four years old and i already got a bag full of little toys for the dollar store and plan to get candy.Share you idea's?
Answer
When my kids were small, we skipped the baskets entirely, placing candies and the like in outside "container type" toys. You know, a plastic wheelbarrow lined with with Easter grass, some candy, and outdoor items such as a ball, sidewalk chalk, a jump rope, yoyo, etc...
Some years I used new sandbox buckets and filled them with sandbox toys.... Anything outdoorsy after a long winter spent inside was always a hit.
And yes, for the naysayers I do know that Easter is not Christmas... However, I was a single mom with three boys and an extremely tight budget. There was no money for just buying outside toys as they were needed... That just wasn't happening, so I used the money I might otherwise spend on a bunch of candy to buy them toys that would get them outside and moving....
So far as candy went, I'd buy bags of Reese eggs, jelly beans and the like, and then I would divide it between all the "baskets." Everyone got one special chocolate bunny.
Your kids are still little, they'll appreciate almost anything...
A very Happy Easter to you and yours. :)

Answer
This year we are not giving any gifts to each other instead our food ministry group is doing a sit down dinner for about 60 less fortunate people. We have Easter baskets for all there kids and we are going to be the ones waiting tables. We want to teach our children that its not always about getting stuff. Sometimes it needs to be about giving to. It seems like every holiday is becoming more and more about getting things for ourselves. Wish we could do more but if everyone does a little bit we can all make a difference.
