Best Easter Ideas – Chocolate Yummies Fill Empty Tummies
How time flies by, it only seems like yesterday when the tedious job of taking down the Christmas decorations was undertaken and stored up the loft, only to repeat the whole tedious process accordingly to commemorate Easter. However, because the lord is involved with both festive dates – makes tasks as such not so tedious at all but much more rewarding. Christmas day we celebrate the birth of Christ and Easter Sunday his resurrection.
Tradition up holds by giving a child a chocolate egg on Easter Sunday, and in some cases more because of greed, all because mom and dad give in to their demands. This is not good for their health or your pocket. Parents need to downsize on the chocolate egg or quantity. Huge savings can be made by doing this thus giving you those extra pennies to spend on healthy candy alternatives.
Easter is about feasting but do take care of what edible delights you are serving up. Keep your child’s welfare in mind. hence no guilt trip for you if the child is sick from overeating or piling on the pounds
If the feast table is to be laden with yummies to fill the tummies then it is a good idea to include some healthier alternatives. There is a vast variety of healthy replacements for candy baskets.
Instead of chocolate or marshmallow candy, fill the baskets with natural cookies which can be baked at home and juicy fruits. Mini boxes of raisins dried apple pieces and sultanas are a good choice of appetizer.
Fill basket with low fat candies.
Both stuffed bunny rabbits and jelly beans are tempting eye candy to a child and low in calories.
After the feast their will be the cleaning up so no time to cook tea, a good idea is to have the children decorate hard boiled eggs which can be eaten with a salad.
If the hens have been laying and you have spare eggs organize an egg rolling competition. Hard-boiled eggs are rolled down a slope, the winner is the one which rolls the egg the furthest, survives the most rolls, or is successfully aimed between two pegs!
Below budget-friendly activities for kids this Easter:
Take the kids on a shopping spree. Give each whatever you can afford and let them choose their own Easter gift, by doing this the day will not seem as long than that of being in the home running out of ideas as to what to do next.
Easter Garden : Pick up some flower pots, and seeds, and teach your kids a few gardening basics then let them plant their own spring flowers.
Sometimes a change of location is all it takes to keep kids entertained and more so at Easter time. So why not take the kids on a picnic, weather permitting. Whether it is the garden or a nearby park the kids will love it. Bring a toy to play with, it would be in your best interest to replace the old kite or ball with a new one, this will excite the children more.
Give young children a basket of brightly coloured plastic eggs; with coins inside each egg, be careful with small items placed in an Easter basket.
Easter day is named after the Saxon goddess of spring, Eostre, whose feast took place at the spring equinox. Easter is now the spring feast of the Christian church, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Traditionally Easter eggs are given as presents symbolising new life and the coming of spring.
Happy Easter
I need some advice about my Chinchilla’s?
I love my chins and they love treats! I feed them well. I feed them an all natural organic food. They love these Timothy Hay seed balls. They also love raisins. I know that they can eat some fruits and I like to make them mini “fruit salads” but what fruits can I give them? Are there anymore food items I can give them or anything around the house…treat wise?
Of course your chins love treats! Just like kids love candy bars! The question is, would you shovel candy bars into your kids mouths? No, of course you wouldn’t. Part of being a good parent is providing a healthy diet for your kids. It’s the same thing with chins. You need to be in control of their diet, to provide them with the healthiest diet you can.
First, the seed balls. Chins don’t need, nor is it good for them to eat seeds. Nuts are the same. Nuts are too high in fat and can affect a chinchilla’s liver as well. Another thing to stay away from. On top of those two things, there needs to be some kind of binding agent, which in pet store junk food tends to be honey. Not only can honey harbor botchulism, but it is also just another sugar.
Second, one raisin every week or two is fine, more than that? No. Chins do not digest sugar well at all. They are hind gut fermenters and too much sugar is not healthy for them, even “natural” sugars contained in fruits. There are people who will argue the fact that chins can handle fruits and vegetables, but the majority of the chinchilla community (especially here in the US) will overwhelmingly tell you no. No fruit salads. You could end up causing bloat in your chin and it’s very, very hard for a chinchilla to recover from that. It’s excruciatingly painful and it makes them go downhill very fast.
Safe treats: Bite sized, nonsugared shredded wheat; dried rosehips; the occasional cheerio; lots and lots of safe wood chews, i.e., apple, pear, cholla, manzanita, pecan, etc. For a complete list of chin safe woods, please see this list: http://www.chins-n-hedgies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34 Be sure that they are from a safe source (check the classifieds) and that they have been prepared carefully to make sure it is safe. You can also stuff a toilet paper tube with hay. It’s a toy and it’s a treat.
People assume that their chins need to have their diets spiced up, when in actuality, it is the human who needs it spiced. There are two things to remember with a chinchilla — don’t kill your chin with kindness and KISS (keep it simple stupid). Good quality pellets (Nutrena, Tradition, Mazuri, APD, Oxbow), good quality hay (not pet store hay), and fresh water daily. These are the things your chin NEEDS. Anything other than that, you need. A very basic diet is the healthiest one for your chin.
Another important thing to remember: If it comes from a pet store, it most likely is junk. Pet stores are out to make money. They don’t care of it’s healthy for your pet. So just because it has a picture of a chinchilla on it, it doesn’ t make it safe. The only thing I could recommend from a pet store are certain types of beeding, hay and pellets (Oxbow and Mazuri). That’s it. Anything else, I steer all my customers away from.
If you would like to ask more questions about chins, and get answers from owners/breeders/rescues, please join http://www.chins-n-hedgies.com. There is a wealth of information and experience on forum that is available to chin owners. Read through the FAQ’s on safe treats, and read through the link I provided above for safe woods.
