This decorative DIY chalkboard container is perfect to hold  special little gifts. I put together these gifts for my kids’ teachers. I had so much fun putting these together and my daughter and son both had fun helping pick out the contents and deciding which colors went to which teachers.

Easter Basket Ideas Other Than Candy

Candy and chocolate are the most popular Easter basket fillers. If you’re looking for something other than candy  to fill your child’s Easter basket, here are a few ideas to think about.

Healthy Snacks

Fill plastic eggs, Easter themed containers or use a bag tied with ribbon with healthy snack foods like dried fruit, nuts, trail mix, mini granola bars and fruit roll ups. Annie’s has a nice variety of organic bunny shaped snacks that kids love too.
