Simple traditions to
strengthen family ties  GARDEN OF LOVE: Easter signals the beginning of spring and
when you think spring, you think of a new garden. Start the week before
Easter and let your children help you select the flowers or vegetables
they would like to plant. Planting a garden and waiting for new life is a
joyful experience. This is a tradition you can do year after year that
will lead to many conversations about different kinds of "New Beginnings"
as well as create wonderful memories for your family. Be sure to snap a
photo of your children next to the fruit of their labors for your Easter
Traditions Book. EASTER EGGSTRAVAGANZA: For most of us, Easter is not Easter if you don't decorate eggs. This year, instead of letting the kids have all the fun, start a tradition that involves the whole family. Throw an annual Easter egg decorating contest. Choose plenty of categories so everyone has a chance to win. Some great categories might be: funniest egg, most original egg, scariest egg and celebrity egg. The wackier the categories, the more fun you'll have decorating and judging. Ask everyone to submit an egg for each category and display the eggs for all to see on the dining room table. You can ask Grandma and Grandpa to be the judges, or invite some neighbors or friends over to do the honors. Before you know it everyone will want to enter the contest.  More ideas from our
Customers... Every year our family chooses a new Easter Child. The Easter Bunny hides all the eggs and treasures. Before all the kids dig into their stash, the Easter Child is determined in this manner: an envelope holding the description of the special "Egg" (determined prior to hiding them) is opened. For instance, " the egg with the green sparkles." Whoever found that particular egg becomes the Easter Child for the year. That child receives a special gift, usually a gift certificate to the bookstore. He or She may be given a special assignment for the year. The outgoing Easter Child is always given recognition and a special treat! ~Caryn Stapp Every year, rather than having the Easter Bunny visit (now that we are all older), the night before Easter, our family fills plastic Easter eggs with tiny monster trucks, candy, etc. We then hide them in the missionaries' yard with a basket on the step and a letter saying that the Easter Bunny had visited and has left eggs in the grass. It really is a make-you-feel-good experience. We all love it! ~Carrie Waite |
 Start a wonderful tradition that helps teach family members that the true joy of giving comes from giving unseen. Take these lovely spring baskets and fill them up with goodies; candy, cookies, cards with kind wishes, or a personalized gift. Anyone would enjoy receiving such a sweet gift; teachers, neighbors, or elderly residents in a nursing home. Hang these unexpected Easter Charity Surprises on doorknobs and hurry away unnoticed. #LC003 $10  April is about sharing and serving, experiencing the joy of giving to others. It is realizing how wonderful it is to give without expecting anything in return. The "Hip Hop Trail" is a fun way to start teaching children the importance of sharing and doing things for others. #LL004 $10  Easter Sack: This is a delightful way to bring little ones into the Easter festivities when they are too young to hunt for a hidden basket. Use these bunny paw prints to create a simple path to their basket. The trail can be as long as fits your child's age, and can wind inside and out of your home. Black jellybeans used as "bunny droppings" will add an element of humor the older kids will enjoy. Organza sack Contains 12 bunny paw prints. #TS004 $7 |
