The anticipation of the Easter Bunny arriving and leaving behind an Easter basket can feel really exciting for your little ones. As a parent, the biggest concern you most likely have about premade Easter baskets is the amount of candy. While the occasional sweet treat is just fine, you may not want your child to have several pieces of candy. Most kiddos are going to want to gobble it up in a flash which can result in an uncomfortable "sugar rush" and a tummy ache. So, what can you do? Well, the best course of action is to make your own Easter basket. You will have total control of what goes inside, and you can get creative!
