Easter Celebrations - Five Things You Should Stop Doing On Easter
Parents spend a lot of time thinking and arranging Easter activities but what few parents will realize is that as the kids grow older, they need new things to do.
Here are some things that as parents, you shouldn't be doing to keep the kids entertained.
The Easter Bunny Just as the kids stop sitting on Santa's lap at a certain age, they will stop wanting to have their picture taken with the Easter bunny at the mall.
As kids they might think he is cute but when they grow up, all they see is a guy dressed up in a bunny suit and that is far from appealing.
When your kids begin to withdraw from these activities, don't force them into it further.
The giant chocolate bunny It's just gross that you have a gigantic chocolate bunny that all the kids are going to dig their teeth in to; it's the equivalent of everyone using the same toothbrush.
If you're looking for a centerpiece that everyone can eat, try Easter fruit baskets or fruit bouquets.
You can take the pieces apart and each kid can have his/her own.
At the end of the day you will have some left over fruit and not a petrified looking chocolate bunny with teeth marks all over it.
All the bunny themed stuff It's a good idea to get the kids involved in important holidays but don't expect them to grow bunny fur.
While they will like the Easter gift baskets and dyed eggs, they won't want to wear bunny ears or dress in pink.
Let them choose their own Easter apparel.
Dressing up as the bunny If you dress up as the Easter bunny but don't dress up as Santa Clause, chances are that the bunny suit is getting old.
And if your kids tell you that you're embarrassing them in the rabbit suit, it's about time you stopped.
No chickens either If the bunny suit is history so is the chicken outfit.
Cute and cuddly depictions of either of these farm animals are only appealing up to a certain age.
Don't think that the kids might not like the bunny any more but they might still give the chickens a chance.
The Easter Parade You might not like standing in line waiting for some giant balloons to pass but this is surprisingly one of those tings that fascinate kids for a long time so don't miss it.
