Easter is just around the corner and it is time to stock up on everything for the Bunny and for dinner! I hopped over to Dollar General to see what they had in stock.
I was happy to see a nice selection of Easter Baskets for just $1.00. They also had everything from Easter grass to eggs to decorations. There were plenty of options for table clothes, chocolate and candies.
In addition, I was able to find inexpensive plates and cups for the kids table and dessert. Of course, I had to check out for the obligatory Easter peeps. I can check them off the list.
While I was walking around Dollar General, I saw some items in the Easter area that reminded me of a post I had saw last year for Easter Bunny Marshmallows! A light went off, this would be an easy, fun craft that the kids could. The bonus was they are edible. I grabbed marshmallow, icing and food coloring.
Here is how you can make these cute bunnies!
