Oh the sweet memories of Easter Baskets from my childhood! The treats, the chocolates, the candies, the cavities… It’s not super practical to put healthy treats like apples and carrots in your child’s Easter Basket, unless they are dressed up like a bunny of course. We have found some sweet treats that are so fun that they won’t even realize that there isn’t sugar involved!

Herban Renewal has a fantastic line of products for kids called Livi.Lu.Lu., our favorite is the WOW Set. This fun, graphic gift set comes with everything a girl could want, shimmering and fruity body wash and sparkling lotion for her skin, glittery lip balm, stellar nail polish complete with spa flippies for those pedicures, rubber balls, glitter ornament and stickers all in a reusable tote bag. There are other gift sets too, the LOL and WHATEVER bags or the Strawberry Kitty or Angel Kitty gift set in case you have more than one fashionista to buy for, all at Herban Renewal.

Get the imagination and creativity cooking with this fun wooden cupcake set by Melissa and Doug. The wooden baking sheet holds four wooden cupcakes, the “frosting” tops can be written on with the “icing” (dry erase markers) over and over again. Be sure to top off these colorful cakes with a wooden candle, the oven mitt makes playing pretend  bakery complete. Sweet tooths will be satisfied with these low calorie charmers! Available at GummyLump.

For the ultimate accessory to go with a frilly Easter dress, Rosemary’s Potpourri has created Scent of a Name. The meaning behind your child’s name has been exclusively researched to create an individualized fragrance. No two names or scents are alike, each name has it’s own unique perfume! The scents come in convenient, easy to use roll on oils, they contain natural ingredients and are safe and non-toxic. Available for boys, girls and parents at Rosemary’s Potpourri.

Looking for an Au Natural alternative to those boxed Easter Egg Dyes? We’ve found one that has results as gorgeous as they are simple! For all dyes (orange 2 tbsp paprika, blue 1 1/2 cups blueberries, pink 1 cup chopped fresh beets and green 1 cup blueberries and 2 tbsp turmeric) bring dye mixture (2 cups of water and 2 tbsp white vinegar along with your color choice ingredients) to a boil. Remove from heat and cool and strain liquid into a medium bowl. Submerge 4 to 6 hard-cooked eggs in dye for up to 30 minutes, depending on how deep you want the color to be. Remove the eggs from the dye and place them on a cooling rack to dry and drain. Store them in the fridge until ready to use.
