Easter Egg Lunch

I love holidays and I love family traditions.  I think having traditions to go along with holidays helps build nice memories for children.

I read somewhere about adding a plastic Easter egg with candy for a lunch box.  I thought, what a genius idea but why not put all their lunch in an Easter egg?!  What child would not love to receive a lunch box full of Easter eggs?  It's also a great way to reuse something you most likely already have.  So I washed the Easter eggs, cut up some ham, cheese, carrots, washed grapes, and added cheddar bunnies, and some dark chocolate almonds.  I wrapped them in surround wrap (you could just put them in a clean egg) and placed the little baggies in different Easter eggs for Blue Rock's lunch.  You could add anything your child likes that will fit in an egg.  To make Blue Rock's lunch extra fun I added a little green grass and his favorite fruit, a banana.  He was very excited watching me make his lunch.  I think he's going to love it!
