Easter is just around the corner, and it’s time to start thinking about filling those Easter baskets!!! Store aisles are filled with chocolate bunnies of all sizes and lots and lots of candy. I don’t know about you, but my kiddos are hyper enough without all that sugar! Here are some fun ideas for Easter basket fillers, and egg fillers for that Easter egg hunt, that DO NOT include any candy!
