15 DIY Easter Ideas

Easter is coming up soon and I’m starting to get the house ready and plan some fun activities for my daughter. She’s six and loves when the Easter Bunny comes to visit. I am using this to my advantage by reminding her that the Easter bunny only comes and hides eggs for kids who are well behaved, respectful to their parents and have clean, brushed hair.

    Love these ideas! For a change, i make hard boiled eggs that are still runny inside. Just 7 minutes in boiling Water and straight into an ice bath will do the trick!
