though if your kids are like my kids, it won’t matter one bit because anything in popsicle form is exciting and loved}. That being said, I know that there are lots of people who really like having a recipe to guide them, so if that’s you, here’s exactly what we included in our fruity green popsicles Frozen mango, clementines, lacinato kale, pineapple juice, coconut water {which is optional}, hemp hearts, and chia seeds. Now I will say that if you don’t have a high-powered blender, you may want to skip the chia seeds and hemp hearts – unless your kiddos don’t mind a little texture.

My goal is always to fill their baskets with quality items that they’ll actually USE, even if it means spending a little more or purchasing less. I also love using holidays like Easter to add to their most loved collections (things like their LEGO, animal figurine, musical instrument, and Maileg mice collections). You’ll find all of my recommendations in the ‘Easter Basket Goodies’ section of my amazon shop, but in case it’s easier in list form, here are some of my favourite quality items to put in your child’s easter basket… Over and Under the Pond Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt Things to Use Outside Pustefix bubble solution with wand (seriously the BEST bubble solution) My recommendations for quality items to put in your child’s Easter basket.

First of all, I picked out a few Hot Wheels / Matchbox vehicles from Sam’s collection and placed them into a small bin with just a couple of centimetres of water and two drops of aqua liquid watercolours (one of my very favourite art supplies – some jars of warm water coloured with liquid food colouring (you could use liquid watercolours to ensure washability) paired with our bulk pipettes and our Learning Resources zig-zag dropper to help melt the ice I feel like ice rescue activities like this one {and this frozen ocean animal rescue and this frozen ocean mermaid excavation} are great for helping kiddos develop grit, patience, and perseverance because they take a good amount of time and effort. Miss G’s never minded – even after ages of play – but after dunking his hands in water and then into the salt, Sam told me that his hands felt ‘hot’.

Besides the fact that they’re both nutritious and super delicious, the thing I love about these ice cream chia pudding parfaits is that they’re a lot easier to make than they look. To make it, pour 1 cup of coconut milk into a jar along with 3 tablespoons of chia seeds, 1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup, and a little splash of good vanilla. Chuck 3 frozen bananas, along with 5 big frozen strawberries and a splash of good vanilla, into a food processor. It’ll take a little while and will most likely require you stopping the food processor to scrape down the sides a few times, but keep going {past the chunky stage, past the mealy stage} until your bananas and strawberries are the consistency of soft serve.
