32 Super Easy Easter Treats Kids To Make
As a mom of three kids—Emma (4), Mason (9), and Sophia (11)—holidays in our house are nothing short of an adventure.
Easter is one of my favorite times of the year, not just because of the adorable bunny decorations and pastel colors, but because it gives us a chance to get creative in the kitchen as a family.
Last year, we spent an entire afternoon turning our kitchen into a mini Easter workshop. Emma was carefully “painting” melted chocolate onto marshmallows, Mason was sneaking jellybeans instead of decorating with them, and Sophia was meticulously arranging toppings like a pro baker.
Sure, there was chaos—sprinkles all over the floor and a frosting-covered 4-year-old who looked like she’d been in a sugar explosion—but it was magical. Moments like these are why I love finding easy recipes that all three kids can help with. These treats aren’t just delicious; they’re memories in the making.
