Quick and Easy Easter Activities To Do As A Family With What You Have At Home

Here are some quick and easy Easter activities to do as a family with what you have at home.  All the items used are common items you can find in your kitchen or around the house.

I just wanted to say thank you to our local Canadian Super Store where I was able to pick up all the fresh produce for dying the eggs and staples for baking ingredients that I normally would have in my pantry.

Hope you have lots of fun and laughter with your family!  Wishing you the happy Easter!
