Baskets

I remember making these cupcakes with my Grandma when I was a little girl!
 
Prefer cookies to cupcakes?  No problem!
 
Peeps are a must when filling an Easter basket.  These Peeps on a stick are just darling.
 
Jelly Beans, Chocolate Bunnies, and Chocolate Eggs are also a must!  I love these because you can use any flavor of pudding & pie filling for the centers and any flavor of chocolate coating.  Beautiful and delish!
 
Have your kids go on a hunt for their baskets/eggs.  Have them discover bunny prints along the way!
 
Egg your neighbors!  With plastic candy-filled eggs of course, then pin this cute sign on their door.  Leave one of the eggs empty symbolic of Jesus' empty tomb!

Eggs

We always follow the tradition of dyeing Easter eggs.  I love this new take on the classic- Ombre Eggs!
 
These hand-painted eggs are gorgeous!  I think I want to try this!
 
Googly eyes and a Sharpie, so simple and cute!
 
I was originally going to post the embroidery floss eggs you make with balloons here.  However, after making (or attempting to make them) with my Activity Day girls at church I decided I'd rather make some salt dough eggs next time!

Chicks

I love Nutter Butters and they are just too cute dressed up as Easter Chicks!
 
Darling kids craft from paper plates.
 
This bunny craft is also so cute.  I'm thinking of using yellow cups to make a little chick companion!

Carrots

These were a big hit in my kids' Easter baskets this year!  Who can refuse Cheetos?
 
I always love chocolate covered strawberries!
 
Chicken salad wrapped in "orange" crescent rolls, yum!
 
So cute for the dinner table.

Tails

Bunny tails are yummy!  Especially when they're made from:
Doughnut holes:
 
Pancakes:
 
Orange rolls:
 
Nilla Wafers:

Heads

These bunny heads are almost too cute to eat, almost!
Dipped oreos from
 
Oreo truffles from

April = Bunnies!

So I know Easter was in March this year, but in the 38 Easters I've been alive it has only been in March 9 times.  The other 29 times it was in April.  I wish it always could be in April.  Let's make it official the 3rd Sunday of every April from now on, ha ha!
These framed bunnies are so colorful and cheery!  Love their little pom pom tails too!

Want these for my monthly mantel trio!
 
Monthly Subway Art.
 
I love banners, and these eggs made out of paint chips are the cutest!
 
(*Other April themes could be April Fool's Day or Earth Day.)
