Awesome Easter Basket Goodies That Aren’t Chocolate
Easter is right around the corner, and that means a whole lot of fun for the little ones (and parents, too). We adore hiding chocolate eggs for the hunt, but we relish our own search for some Easter basket goodies that aren’t chocolate (in all the sweet pastels and vibrant hues of spring) to top things up. Bonus – these toys, supplies, and collectibles can lead to hours of fun long after the last chocolate bunny has been devoured.
