Easter is not only for kids, they are for seniors too! Easter is one of those celebrations wherein seniors are allowed to release creative juices and test their abilities to create something cute with their hands. Of course, it would be a great plus if this “something” turns out to be useful as well.
But since this is the season to be creative and fun, let us just leave out the “useful” part for now and concentrate with the fun part!
Easter provides seniors the time to bond with their grandchildren and have fun with them. This Easter time, seniors can set up an egg painting session with their grandkids and hide them around the yard after drying the eggs for traditional Easter egg hunt. You can color-coordinate your eggs according to their respective rewards and watch the kids scurry off searching for the highest paying egg! You can also make the highest paying egg in color Gold to make it more tempting to the eyes. Don’t forget to boil your eggs first so you can eat them afterwards.
Easter is also a great way to satisfy one’s sweet tooth. Take a stroll down the grocery and you will find lots and lots of yummy Easter-themed candy treats made for sharing and giving away. But, these candies can be costly at times especially those carrying brand names. Don’t worry, you can still enjoy these sweet treats by making them yourself. Homemade Easter candies are great for this year’s Easter family activity. You just have to buy some usual candy ingredients like marshmallows, peanuts, a block of chocolates, some peanut butter and butter then you can experiment your way to great treats. For beginners, you may want to stick first with the easy, conventional ways like chocolate melting and molding. Seniors can find great Easter recipes over the internet since there are tons of them there. Although this is a time when you can forget your diet for a while, treats are sweeter when taken in moderation; that is, if you have been nice all year round!
Easter candy baskets are great giveaways this Easter time. Not only they are a delight to look at, they are also practical and your recipient will surely love you for all those sweet treats you have sent them. Seniors can fill their own Easter baskets with caramels wrapped in colorful foils, bite-sized chocolates, yellow and pink peeps, Jelly Belly, and a small plush bunny then they can tie it with some wide ribbons to complete the Easter effect.
