Last year, during Easter, we were actually out camping in our new RV. Luckily, the Easter Bunny can find you anywhere, and if your kids are outdoorsy like mine, the chocolate alternatives to fill their baskets up with is overwhelming.

Lastly, consider doing an outdoor easter egg hunt! We did one last year at our campground and it was a big hit. This year, we are organizing one in a local park with friends from our outdoor family crew. (Cute bunny glasses are always optional, but who can resist?)

a passionate recreation coordinator by day, crazy farm mama of two by night. i live outdoors: growing my own food, camping and hiking with my border collie with two active kids in tow. when I’m not writing, I’m experimenting with recipes, and crafts – or anything else that might keep the monkeys entertained.
I especially love the headlamp idea! My kiddos would flip of those!
They have been a popular item at my house. Gulp – only one kid has one so Mommy is constantly sharing hers. I think that one might hop into the little one’s basket!
Those are such fun ideas! We’ve never done Easter baskets, but I know my kids love all those things!!
Thanks! We think so too – what are you celebrating instead of Easter?
That is a great list and I’m going to use it this year to help make things easier. I book marked and shared. Great post!
Thanks, Jodi! Hope it helps.
