Repost: Egg Carton Throwback

Easter is just a few days away and in keeping with super simple around these parts because you guys, I’m barely keeping these small humans alive, I busted out our painted egg cartons again. I snagged a few things for just a couple of dollars at Target like bazooka bubble gum, a package of peeps, chocolate carrots, tics tacs, a backpack key chain for the bigs and chapstick for Amon. Done and done. Long live yummy Easter treats!

And here’s a repost from last year because we’re still in full on Spring Break mode. Enjoy!

You guys, I have sat down to write a thousand and one times this week and then no words come. Maybe it’s because my heart and head are a jumbled mess or maybe because life has seriously been it’s busiest this week. Last night I made my to-do list for today and put BLOG in all caps. I’ve missed you guys.

So thought I would share our easy and fun Easter treat we do for our kiddos. You can read about last years HERE for more thorough directions. These are so crazy easy.

You need an egg container, craft paint and fillers. I made all these last year, but had to make an extra one this year for our new littlest…she got fuchsia because she’s a spunky, cute one.

All I did was paint the top of the egg carton, throw in some fun grass which I have seriously had for years…the same bag of Easter grass…it’s a weird death quirk I wrote about HERE…and then added fun treats. I keep one little box of eggs just for this and reuse them each year. My surprises were one small toy, a few marshmallow bunnies and I stuffed the plastic eggs with some Sour Patch Kids and M&Ms. I also did a small chocolate chicken because we love Max’s Chocolate Chicken by Rosemary Wells and Hudson asked the other night “Would you ever give us a chocolate chicken?”…I’m all about making a kid’s dream come true when it comes to a chocolate chicken For the toy the big kids got a small $4 lego set, Amon got a bear because he is obsessed with bears and our littlest got a soft stuffed bunny.
