Easter Gifts: Not All About The Eggs, Get Your Kids Involved
There comes an age in every child's life when his/her parents can't decide what to get their child for Easter because the truth of life is kids are only fascinated with Easter eggs to a certain age and after that they either want the next hardware upgrade or multiple additions to their wardrobe. The trick to buying Easter gifts for kids who aren't five or seven years old anymore is to find that range of reasonable Easter gifts that an eleven year old will like and a parent will approve of.
Finding Easter gifts for kids above ten involves a little self realization, i.e. parents need to stop trying to excite their teenagers about an egg hunt because unless the Easter eggs have gift certificates redeemable at iTunes, they aren't going to hunt for them. Some parents will still insist that there be at least one family member dressed up as the Easter bunny in the house on Easter day and Easter dinner is going to be ordinary everyday food cut and molded like Easter eggs and rabbits. An effort to actually include the kids in the Easter celebrations comes in the form of parents toning the toddler stuff down and asking their kids for an opinion (and following through on it).
Kids on the other hand need to realize that Easter is Easter and not Christmas and the Easter bunny doesn't take requests like Santa. Easter should be more of a give a little and take a little sort of deal where the kids pitch in and contribute to the spirit of Easter and try taking a little break from the materialistic side of life. Easter is celebrated more for its spirit of being a holiday to celebrate life as compared to the religious aspect (even thought that's important for a lot of families too).
So the question is what to put in Easter baskets for kids. The simple solution is a bit of everything. It's going to be a compromise either way so put in something that you know your kids are bound to like, with a bit of chocolate can really help. If you're adamant about the gifts being more Easter oriented try buying Easter baskets that will appeal to your kids and satisfy you as well. It's a gift that the whole family can enjoy together. You could buy a fruit bouquet and add a little something extra. Your Easter gift will be unique while at the same time it will have that touch of Easter festivity with the fruit. If you think chocolate is an important part of Easter and you just can't leave it out then add a little chocolate to your Easter gifts. No kids, regardless of their age are likely to say no to chocolate. Just remember that it doesn't have to be a lot of chocolate but just the right festive amount.
About the Author
I'm the happy mother of three kids aged 8 years, 5 years and 18 months and as my kids are growing I'm facing new challenges in parenting everyday. I know I only get though the toughest mom challenges because of the great support group I have, my family and my friends and my wonderful neighborhood community of super moms. I'm here to share with you how I get through every challenge in my life as I continue to try and provide the best for my children and holidays can sometimes become a struggle. I love sharing my experience of getting the kids involved in Easter and other holidays. one of my favortie easter gifts are Easter Gift baskets and Easter fruit.
Usually I hide my kids Easter baskets every year... this year we are in to small of a space...?
we are going to play the card to card clue game and put the baskets in the car in the driveway... we are going to use knock knock or reg. jokes for clues... for example... How does the bunny stay in shape.... lot's of eggs-ercise... and the next clue would be taped to the weight bench... any other clever jokes with clues in them to tape around the house 
Thank you!!
Neat idea!
Not 'jokes' but:
Where would the bunny find extra crunchy carrots? (vegetable crisper in the fridge)
Where would the bunny wash and dry his tail when it gets dirty? (washing machine)
