Adorable Easter treats for kids

Yesterday on Tuesday made these itsy bitsy Carrot patches with wafer biscuits and chocolate frosting. She even made those edible carrot treats. She used green gum to make the carrot stems!

Pizzazerie made these adorable bunnies on a stick using pound cake, marshmallows and straws for the stick. I love the bow ties.

These Sweet bird nest cookies are just too adorable to be eaten! It's like a work of art! She used roasted coconut for the nest and has a detailed tutorial on her blog "The Sweet Adventures of Sugar Belle" on how to make these cookies!

A Pizza is made of candy, choclate and peanut butter and topped with pastel colored m&m's would be perfect as an Easter desert for kids! Let the kids have fun smashing the choclates! This one is by French Knots.

Do not forget about the drinks. The Autocrat  came up with this idea of peeps on a straw! Sweet and Simple! I love it!

These Teacups are the perfect place card holders for a kids table for an Easter brunch! I love how the name tag has been tied to the handle using a colorful ribbon and the little chocolate eggs spread in the cat grass that you can get at your local pet store. You can get inexpensive teacups from a Goodwill or a vintage store in your neighborhood.

I think these Chocolate bunny place card holders are just adorable! They can hold a card with the guests name or even better a picture of your little guest. You can download the bunny silhouette on the kodak site here. They even have step by step tutorial on how to make them.

This is my favourite! Egg shaped pom pom ball place card holders. These can be purchased at imeondesign (An Etsy store). $11 for a set of 4 eggs. This will add such  a fun modern flare to your easter table.

These Easter Egg cup holders are made of paper and are super easy to make! Just add your guests initials on the eggs to use them as place card holders.

Could it get more cuter than this? I don't think so. Six colorful chicks perched in an egg carton. What a lovely centerpiece.

This one is from the Hostess Blog. Colorful pails are available in CVS, Target and the dollar store for a buck each at this time of the year. I also saw some lovely pastel colored pails in Ikea too! Decorate the pails with Easter themed stickers and add spring blooms of your choice. Couldn't get simpler than this!

I have seen ribbon tree centerpieces for Christmas but never one that had been done for Easter. I love this unusual idea and the lovely colored ribbons that are used to create this centerpiece.

Another dollar store craft! Create an envelope for the Easter lollipops using complementary  colors and decorate with a bow. Stick the lollipops in a Easter pail to finish your centerpiece.

She used fake wheat grass, marshmallow peeps and a Styrofoam base to create these. Simple and adorable!

The eggs have been died in lovely shades of spring colors. Then use a brush dipped in paint to spray color on the eggs. Add your eggs in the nest and set it in the center of the table.

This is my favorite! I think the little flower used to embellish it makes it all the more cute! It might look difficult to make but believe me it's not. The design is by Diane Gilleland who writes a blog called CraftyPod. The basket and the tutorial was featured in Craftzine.

I found this one one on CraftStylish and the design is once again by Diane Gilleland. Such a talented lady. A great way to recycle old boxes in your pantry into an Easter basket! I love to recycle things, specially when the end product is so beautiful, and I don't know how many times I have said this on my blog.

This is made from interweaving 2 pinwheels. The patterns for pinwheels is available for download on the website. The larger the pinwheel the larger your basket will be. Here is the tutorial.
