With the Easter holiday right around the corner I have been on the lookout not only for fun crafts but also things I can make on my own.  If you are still hopping down that bunny trail and have a child of your own, you may want to check out these ideas. There are many creative “do it yourself” Easter recipes out there and these are just a few of the ones that caught my eye.
These homemade carrot snack packs are perfect to put in Easter baskets or as decoration on the children’s table at your Easter dinner. They also are a nice candy substitute if you are trying to cut down your child’s sugar intake! All you need is green curling ribbon, a pack of pastry bags, and your child’s favorite orange snack! The pastry bags can be found at your local craft shop and also Party City stores. You can use anything orange to make your homemade carrots- Cheez Its, Cheetos, Cheese Balls,Cheese Doodles, Gold Fish, and even Orange flavored jelly beans. They are simple to make and very cute to stick out of an Easter basket. 

Bunny Bait is a sweet treat used to make sure the Easter Bunny doesn’t forget to make his stop at your house this year.  Have your children help you make the bunny bait to leave out just for the Easter Bunny.  This colorful combination contains popcorn, white chocolate, plain chex mix,  broken pretzel pieces, M&M’s, & a few colorful sprinkles. After breaking up the pretzel pieces you place them in a large bowl with the M&M’s, Chex Mix, and popped popcorn.  Heat the white chocolate candy coating in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until completely smooth & melted. Drizzle the candy coating over the popcorn mixture and stir to coat. Spread out on a large piece of wax paper and top of with colorful Easter sprinkles. After it cools you can break off the pieces and put them in cute Easter bags to give away.

Bunny Smores are a fun spin-off to your typical smore. All you need are a few packages of Easter Bunny peeps, graham crackers, and individually packed Hershey chocolate bars. This is another one that only takes minutes to make and would be really cute to handout to any children you may be having at your Easter get together. 

Bunny Brownies can be the perfect gift for a friend, neighbor, coworker, or your child’s teacher. Depending on how many you plan to make, you will need glass jars, Easter M&M’s, Marshmellow Peeps, and chocolate brownie mix. The idea is to give them everything they need to make Easter brownies. You can add your own festive Easter ribbon and a homemade tag with instructions.
