Plan crafts to involve them in preparing for Easter, as well as a few games the day of.  Coloring and decorating eggs and Easter Egg Hunts are among the most popular along with the Easter Egg Roll, the most famous of which takes place on the White house lawn every year!   Egg Coloring and Decorating

• Keep in mind these food safety tips if dyeing eggs for fun or for an egg hunt:
• Wash hands with warm water and soap before and after handling eggs
• Use only eggs that have been refrigerated and discard eggs that are cracked or dirty
• After hard cooking, dye eggs with food-safe coloring and return them to the refrigerator within 2 hours
• Fun egg decorating ideas can be found here.

    Easter Egg Hunt

• Hold outside if weather permits so the kids can run and enjoy the outdoors
• Decorate the house or yard with helium balloons, streamers, paper cutouts of eggs and rabbits, and bunny paw prints
• Estimate approximately one dozen eggs per child
• Fill multicolored plastic eggs with jelly beans, chocolate eggs, small toys, and money (my kids especially loved this as they got older (quarters, fifty-cent pieces and dollar bills)
• Give the children baskets for the Easter egg hunt or have them decorate a paper bag with colored markers and stickers

  May your Easter be filled with the love of family and friends, and all the joy this holiday is symbolic of! — Author: Maureen Rowan Murphy, Manager Consumer Trends, Nutrition and Lifestyles Price Chopper and Market 32 can help with your Easter celebration – from planning that Easter brunch or dinner to creating a unique basket your children will love! This first article will inspire you to decorate a table that’s sure to get you & your guests in the spirit of spring! While there is something to be said for tradition, it can get a wee bit monotonous, but a tweak here or there preserves it while allowing some creativity. One way is by simply changing your tablescape. Envision your table as a blank canvas and use it to set the stage for your holiday meal i.e. mix and match dishes, vary patterns but stick to the coordinating colors, etc. Make a dramatic statement or keep it simple! Create a tablescape with pastels and seasonal décor. A small Easter egg tree with hollowed out eggs or edible ornaments makes a great centerpiece while eggcups can be used as mini vases or placard holders. Small chocolate bunnies or eggs can be used decoratively as well, and then enjoyed as a special take-home treat. A spring-inspired tablescape is another option that lends simple beauty.  A vase filled with fresh flowers brings a bit of the outdoors in. Lilies, daffodils, and my personal favorite tulips, are all wonderful harbingers of spring. — Author: Maureen Rowan Murphy, Manager Consumer Trends, Nutrition and Lifestyles       More to love… in Brunswick!

Although winter has been reluctant to loosen its grip, spring is finally in the air, and it’s time to get our homes ready to greet it. Spring cleaning was a time-honored tradition when I was growing up. I remember my mother throwing open the windows to “air out the house” and let the fresh smell of spring in. She would then go about cleaning the house from top to bottom. Spring cleaning is still a great way to freshen up and de-clutter. It’s also the perfect time to update your living space, and give it a fresh, new look for the season. Not sure where to start? Start off by ensuring you and your family are safe. Test smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors if you didn’t do it last month when the time changed, and replace batteries if necessary. Next, spring into action with easy cleaning and no or minimal cost decorating tips that will allow you to enjoy your home and the warm weather that is on the way.

• Wash walls and baseboards (start from the top and work your way down), windows, screens, and bedding. Wash, dry clean or vacuum curtains/window treatments as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Steam clean carpets or send area rugs out.
• Clean out the pantry by checking best if used by (or before) dates on non-perishable foods like spices, canned goods, grains and pastas, etc., and toss anything past its prime. Throw away any bulging, leaking or rusted cans, as these are an indication of spoilage and present a food safety hazard! Repeat the process in your refrigerator with perishable foods and throw away food that is past its use-by or best if used by date. Once everything is sorted through, group like items together.
• Declutter and organize closets and drawers. Make a pile of clothes and other accessories and donate items in good condition and discard the rest. Don’t hold onto things you haven’t worn in the last year thinking you might again. Trust me, you won’t.
• Celebrate spring by bringing the outdoors in with some fresh greenery and/or flowers into your living space.
• Brighten up any room with a fresh coat of paint or even just by adding a pop of color.
• Transform a room’s look and feel by rearranging furniture or simply update with new decorative pillows in cotton and linen fabrics.
• Go seasonal with your bedding! Trade out the heavier comforters and blankets for lighter weight fabrics and softer colors.
• Bring the smell of freshness indoors with a citrus or floral-scented candle.
