easter basket goodies

Not too many sweet treats going in these kids baskets this year. Every year I try to come up with ways to still celebrate the holiday without bucket loads of sugar. It really isn't that hard but I want the kiddos to feel like what they do get is special and a treat. I really enjoy each holiday and celebrating but the candy thing is just crazy, and not to mention we are a refined sugar free home. My focus is more on spring, flowers, and natures bright colors than the religious part. Each kiddo is getting the following:

1. Three honey sticks 

2. Two raw chocolate and honey mint patties 

3. A Spring Book

4. Colored Pencils made from newspaper

5. Recycled crayons

6. Wooden Egg Shaker

7. Natural Peanuts

8. Garden Seeds (still needing to purchase)- each kiddo has a raised bed to plant this year.
