Every year the Easter Bunny comes and brings baskets fill of candy and eggs. However, you can now inform the Easter Bunny that it is OK to bring other things besides candy. He can be more like Santa Claus and provide your children with good things besides candy. Read on to learn how to explain to the Easter Bunny the alternatives he can bring to Easter candy.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Buy clothes. All children have growth spurts and it is always difficult to keep them outfitted. So let the Easter Bunny know the sizes of your children so he can buy clothes instead of candy for them.

2. Look for educational toys. The Easter Bunny can have lots of fun finding toys that are also educational for your children. They will have a good time with them and learn at the same time and it will save on your dental bills in the long run.

3. Find some crafts to fill the Easter basket. Depending on your children's ages, the Easter Bunny could find coloring books, cross-stitch kits, model car kits and even coin collection books to name just a few craft ideas. The Easter Bunny can enjoy crafts with the children later when they are ready to play.

4. Send the Easter Bunny to Barnes and Noble where he can pick out some good books for your children. He may also have to read them to the kids if they are too young to read themselves.

5. Check out the latest movies that your children are talking about. These will also fit into those Easter baskets. Make sure you let the Easter Bunny know what movies you want for your children so he has plenty of time to get them.

6. Pick out the newest computer games that are also educational for your kids to play.

7. Fill the basket with fruit and other non-candy items.
