Bake sugar cookies in the shape of eggs and allow children to frost them in colorful icing designs. Use a dab of little stiff icing to glue wooden skewers or Popsicle sticks to the backs of the cookies and put them in a decorative pot or pail with floral foam glued to the bottom. Add leaves cut from construction paper to finish the project.

Buy marshmallow peeps in bunny and egg shapes and insert wooden skewers into the bottoms. Arrange the peeps in floral foam in the bottom of a child's Easter basket or colorful pail. Add pastel feathers or silk flowers to compliment the edible bouquet.

Gather plastic eggs and chocolate bunnies and fasten to Popsicle sticks to form a bouquet of treats for a child. Include special treats inside the eggs for the child to open.
