ideas for easter gifts for 2yr old girl and 5yr old boy?

Answer
Crafty Easter Baskets
Craft supplies are easy items to slip into an Easter basket. Put in crayons, markers, glitter glue, modeling clay, or anything that will keep your little one happy and creative for hours on end! Kids love to create things and by offering these items as gifts, youâll be helping their little minds develop while keeping their teeth clean and sugar-free!

Educational Easter Baskets
Another great way to spark the kidâs imaginations and to keep them away from all of that sugar is to place books in the basket. For smaller children, large board books with colourful pictures are a great Easter present! They will enjoy looking at the pictures as you ask them, âWhereâs the bunny?â For older children, place in a book from their favourite series, or a book that is related to a topic they are interested in. Placing a book in the basket that is all about Easter and the meaning and traditions of the holiday is a nice way to celebrate the day and to keep the basket festive!

A Gardening Easter Basket
An Easter gardening basket is a terrific idea for kids. Place in the basket some non-sharp gardening tools and some seeds for the child to plant. If you live in a warmer climate, you can plant the seeds on Easter Day or you can buy some small pots and place those in the baskets as well. Just as they love to create things, they will love watching the plant or flower thrive and blossom because they made that happen!

Easter Baskets with Toys
Place some outdoor activity toys in the basket that can be played with while you are outside with your child planting seeds. Things such as skipping rope, sidewalk chalk, and croquet sets will keep the sugar-highs down and will encourage physical activity. Plus kids love being outside and running around to burn off some steam!

Festive Easter Baskets
To keep with the festive theme, place some stuffed bunnies or chicks in the basket. This is especially useful for very small children that may not benefit a lot from seeds or outdoor play sets. These stuffed animals can be found just about anywhere during Easter and they come in very playful Easter colours such as soft yellows, pinks, and greens.

Bath Time Easter Baskets
For kids who love the bath, find some special bubble bath, bath crayons, bath foam, and shampoo to slip into their baskets. Itâs very easy to find these in characters that kids love, such as Disney characters. They will love to squeeze Winnie the Poohâs head to make special soap squirt out and it will keep them healthy at the same time!

Indulge and Teeth-Care Easter Basket!
If you really canât see filling a basket without one sugary treat, place a small chocolate bunny or other Easter candy in the basket. Just make sure that you also include a toothbrush, toothpaste, and other items that can be used after they are done eating the sweets! These can also be found in special kid-friendly characters!

Does anyone have any ideas for how to design a boiled egg for an easter egg designing competition?

Q. I would appreciate if you included info on how to make the idea you have:)! I don't want to just paint the egge or something. I need ideas like these:
- EGG Factor, etc
- Ideas which I could incorporate an egg into

Answer
You might look to some different manicure techniques? Fingernail polish for really intense color and shine, with different doodahs on them. I have seen all kind of different blending and stenciling techniques on peoples' nails. The only caution I have is if the egg needs to remain edible then you shouldn't do that. Proper Easter egg dyes are non toxic in the event that the color leaches through the shell to the egg. I suppose another issue might be if for some reason an ingredient in nail polish proved damaging to the shell...like ate through it or something.

You could also try tie dye effects with watercolors, dipping at different levels to blend colors, sponge techniques. You may even try some sort of spin art situation if you could get your egg attached to something that spins, then drop some color on it. These might be old hat but if you do any classic technique really really well, then it still works.

You could paint them then dip them wet in a glitter or even a colored sand.

Here is an image search for inspiration. What can you do with these ides?

Then...try a spun sugar basket. Or make a batch of cupcakes or ice cream cone cupcakes, and frost them white, and plunk an egg on each one. Display them on a tiered serving tray.

You could start with a vintage character metal lunch box, and decorate your eggs to match the theme of the lunch box. Then using your gift basket assembly skills...build up the box. Display it lid open facing the viewer. Layer the box with a pretty napkin in the bottom, some plastic silverware tucked in here and there, and pretty foods and nestle your character eggs in with it. For example if you have a Scooby Doo lunch box...do an egg in each character...little headbands on the girls and don't forget the glasses on Velma and Shaggy's chin hairs, etc...wrap the napkin to look like an ascot they all wore around their necks...then tuck the eggs in, a few doggy biscuits for a scooby snack, some cherry tomatoes for contrast...and vintage Hot Wheels mystery mobile van and/or Scooby salt and pepper shakers. You could do it with anything...I remember lunch boxes for A Team, The Dukes of Hazzard, every single cartoon or kids show, and even some bands. Wouldn't that be fun in a Kiss theme? Little Gene Simmons Easter egg? hahha!

What is the reason gift buying became a Christmas Tradition?

David

It is a holy day and it became a gift exchange day also. Easter is a holy day but there isn't major gift giving (small gifts for kids in Easter Bunny tradition). All Saints Day is a holy day but there is no gift giving.

So how did Christmas become a day of gift giving?

Answer
One or possibly both of these reasons.

Jesus is obviously the original reason for the season,we celebrate his birth. He is often referred to or considered God's gift to us. Also in the Bible The Three Magi (Kings in the East but more commonly known as The Three Wise Men) brought gifts to Jesus after his birth. Gold,Frankincense and Myrrh. So I think that was a big cause or factor in why we give gifts to each other at this time.

It didn't really start to catch on,giving gifts at Christmas until about the end of the middle ages. Then it spread pretty quickly in numerous countries as tradition. In America the Dutch settlers introduced St. Nicholas, and then the idea or legend of Santa Claus.

What would be good environmental practices for celebrating Easter?

Seems like people could shred colored paper in a paper shredder & make their own grass for Easter baskets instead of buying plastic grass, then recycle the paper. I've done it for packing gifts for wrapping & shipping. (Besides, I think we used the same baskets & grass for 10 yrs when I was a kid.) What else could be done?

Answer
How about if you do buy plastic Easter eggs, you keep 'em, use them again and again year after year instead of disposing them. They are washable. I like the paper shredding idea.
