9 Cool Ideas for Easter Traditions to Start with Your Children . . .
- Photo of the Easter Bunny in Your Home - This is a tradition we began in our house when our children were very young. This service allows you to take a photo somewhere in your home and then insert a character into the photo. There are different Easter Bunnies to choose from, as well as a large selection of poses. You can also resize the bunny, flip it, and change its lighting to match that of your photo. The look of delight on our children's faces when they see these photos each year is priceless! For $9.99, you get a high resolution digital copy of the image. Since our children are getting older, this might be the last year for this tradition at our house, but we will still have all the photos from past years for keepsakes.
- Make an Easter Craft Together - Nothing puts a smile on a child's face like making something cool that can be displayed. Try making a different craft with your child every year. It will be a tradition that will be highly anticipated by children of all ages. Just be sure to choose a craft that matches your child's age. Have an older child?

- Easter Basket Hunt - This sounds like a super-fun tradition! Simply hide your children's Easter baskets around the house and give them just one clue each. Be sure to match the difficulty of the clues with your child's age. You can even leave some hints, such as a stray egg or bunny footprints for some added fun!

All you need to do is build a nest of Easter grass on a table and fill the nest with treats and plastic eggs for your family and guests to enjoy throughout the Easter season. Follow the link to learn more about this fun Easter tradition! (I would love to do this at our house, except I think the cat would eat the Easter grass and will knock all the candy and eggs onto the floor for the dogs to break open.)
