Many parents obsess over worrying about giving their children sugary foods. With Easter just around the corner the search is on! Mommies and Daddies are scrounging to compile the best Easter baskets their little ones could ever imagine for Easter morning. Magnificent candy munching, squeals of delight, and pure joy awaits with that oh sooo sweet day. So how can you find a happy medium between putting together healthier sensible options and those solid chocolate Easter bunnies without your little ones staging a sugar revolution?

I think that if I ran down the stairs Easter morning in search of what the Easter Bunny had left me and picked up a basket that was absent of any candy at all I would be pretty upset! You can't deprive your kiddos of sugary foods but you can substitute some of those sugary options with these five ideas:

1. Coupons good for: get out of a chore day, pick a family adventure, pick one of your favorite meals....(you get the idea)

2. Candy filled eggs with toy filled eggs (hot wheels and littlest pet shop or make your own)

3. Summer fun: Water balloons, swim trunks, pool toys, sand toys

4. Bubbles ( My son is crazy about bubbles!)

5. Coloring books and crayons

So, all in all, have a happy Easter and include some sweet stuff without the sugar rush!
