Sharing some ideas for Easter baskets for teens and older kids!
Hi friends! Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend, and thank you so much for all the amazing support on my last post. I’m feeling hopeful about things and looking forward to our homeschool journey.
For today’s post, I wanted to share some ideas for Easter baskets! Every year, it’s so much fun putting them together. It’s tempting to let Easter turn into Christmas #2, but I’m trying to keep things simple. The kids usually receive new swimsuits, sandals, and a few other small goodies. Since we’re all about bubbles, sidewalk chalk, and slime, I thought I’d share some other ideas too. Feel free to share your own ideas in the comments!
