This weekend the boys started asking me, “How many days until Easter?” They ask every day...multiple times a day. It is adorable and annoying at the same time.
I decided to start a countdown in hopes the kids will remember how many days are left without asking. We are starting today with 12. The photos are pretty horrific- it is hard to get a good shot of the shiny eggs, but you get the drift.
If you want to do this yourself, it can be put together quickly with just a few supplies. I used some plastic eggs left over from Easter last year and numbered each one from one to twelve with a number stickers (but you could write the number on the egg with a sharpie).
I put a chocolate inside each egg for each child and mixed the order up on the egg holder. If you don’t have an egg holder you could use a basket. The boys will have to find and identify each day’s number.
V is at school today so we will start at 12 when he gets home. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Do you do anything to count down to Easter?
Cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI love your egg holder! We aren't doing a countdown for Easter this year, but this one sure looks fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my blog. I loved your glow stick idea for the picnic basket and will be sure to add some soon.
