Easter Egg Hunt Sensory Bin

Easter Egg Hunt Sensory Bin | Mama Papa Bubba

With this upcoming Easter being the first that Sam will actually get to participate in the festivities, I figured we’d better give him a chance to practice his egg hunting skills if he’s to stand a chance against his quick and experienced big sister.  Well, that or we had 45 minutes to kill between arriving home from a day of errands and picking up Grae from school and the Easter stuff just happened to out begging to be played with. :)  Either way, Sam has absolutely been loving our collection of little plastic Easter eggs and this Easter egg hunt sensory bin was a total hit.

With it being spring break currently, this year’s Easter fun was sort of spread out over several days to accommodate meet-ups with friends and some planned family outings.  Not that Miss G minded one bit…  I’m pretty sure she would have continued the celebration all week long if she could! ☺

An Easter Egg Hunt With Friends

4 / 5 / 154 / 8 / 15

Ahh… Such a great morning!  Some very good friends of ours here in Kuwait hosted an Easter egg hunt / party for the munchkins in our play school co-op and it was fantastic.  After meeting up at their house and getting a group photo of all of the munchkins {so cute!} and then one of each mom with her littles, we headed to a nearby nursery for an egg hunt.  There was grass(!), greenery(!), and a beautiful kept playground(!), and the kids had an absolute blast working as a team to find all 100 eggs left by the Easter Bunny.  After we were all sufficiently sunned and sweaty, we headed back to the house where the kids traded in their eggs for prizes and the host treated us all to a delicious brunch.  It was a wonderful morning and I’m so thankful to have our family of friends here to celebrate with while we’re away from our families back home in Canada.  {It goes without saying that it’ll be very sad to say goodbye to them come June, but I’m currently in denial about all impending goodbyes. ☹}

A Morning Egg Hunt

3 / 31 / 134 / 5 / 13

This morning we all gathered at Grandma Sue’s house for a big Sunday brunch and a backyard egg hunt with all of the cousins.  

IMG 7455IMG 7470Now before I go on, I must admit I was totally clueless about the fact that the Easter Bunny is the one who hides eggs for kids to find.  Seriously – what?!  I knew he (or she) was in charge of leaving Easter baskets, but i guess I just thought parents hid eggs in the yard for kids… Is that crazy?  Anyways, I’m glad I had this epiphany last night in the company of my brother and sister-in-law, because I totally would have been the terrible Auntie to ruin it all by saying something like, “Okay, guys.  Your daddy and I need a minute to hide all of the eggs” after breakfast this morning.  

IMG 7458IMG 7474Knowing what I now know, we asked all of the kids to go downstairs and play while we tidied up the breakfast dishes, and Gary and I snuck out to quickly stash the eggs around the yard.  That Easter Bunny sure is a smart rabbit…  He (or she) left a baker’s dozen of one colour of eggs for each child, thus allowing the slower ones enough time to uncover their treasures (and us to make sure Miss G got all of the eggs filled with Gracen-style treats).  

IMG 7450IMG 7480The hunt went really well.  The boys’  eggs were hidden well enough to keep them busy for almost the whole time, the kids were great about only collecting their colour of eggs, and everyone was excited about their goodies.

IMG 7484IMG 7499Grae’s eggs were filled some of her favourite snacks (trail mix, sunflower seeds, healthy banana chips, cashews, dried pineapple, and seedy crackers), my homemade healthy crispy rice treats formed into egg shapes, some fun glitter glue, stickers, and mystery capsules.  She was pretty excited to say the least.

IMG 7492IMG 7500I know that there are a million perks to going and that we’ll be home for 3 months of summer each year, but mornings like this make me a little bit sad that we’ll be taking Gracen away from her cousins and grandparents come August…
