9 Clever Candy-Free Easter Ideas

OK, so my kids love candy as much as anyone else but baking is such a big part of our lives that there is no shortage of sugar around here. So much so that Laurel and Violet still have piles of candy left over from Halloween. HALLOWEEN, you guys. Next year I am just donating it all.

We don't do Easter baskets, but I'm always keeping an eye out for fun themed projects and activities for the girls, so I thought it would be fun to collect some ideas for clever, candy-free Easter ideas. Check out this brilliance!

1. My friend Amy of Living Locurto shares a 3-ingredient fruit lemon fruit dip and that is awesome but really, all I want to do is cut out all of our fruit into cute Easter shapes like Amy does.

2. I am totally a fan of projects that are ultimately clutter-free. Check out these amazing Easter bath bombs via Mom Foodie.
