Being Brits, we don't 'do' the Easter Bunny thing! Our kids get a big Easter Egg each which we hide and they have to hunt for - they aren't easy to find in Canada but luckily Walmart often sells proper Easter Eggs ie British style ones but only a few and they tend to be Nestle and Smarties or ones the kids aren't keen on - and we are particular in that they HAVE to be 'eggs' as in British style eggs ;) because thats what we grew up with ;)
Anyway....we hide the eggs and they hunt for them indoors first thing in the morning! Lloyd hid the older boys sooooo well that it took them ages to find them :)
Real Easter Eggs come with so much packaging that it always makes me feel so wasteful, so I was interested to read the above article on reducing packaging of easter Eggs....
Our kids don't get Easter baskets filled with toys or gifts from the Easter bunny - but we do a hunt for little eggs outside later in the day and we did treat them to the dvd of Bedtime Stories that we all watched together while they ate their stash of candy from the egg hunt!
