With Easter around the corner I started looking into gluten free Easter basket and candy ideas for a huge Easter egg hunt my family will be joining in. I wanted to send the hosts a list of options so all the candy would be gluten free so no one feels left out. Searching for a list proved limited and uninspiring. I don’t want the kids feeling jipped! So I decided to do the research myself and found tons of wonderful allergen friendly options. Some you will be able to find at a local health food store (such as Sprout’s or Whole Foods), and some you will need to order online. I am excited to share\u00a0this list with you!<\/p>\n

Note: Always, always, always read labels. Companies can change their recipes at any time.<\/p>\n

After going through this list, I realized I don’t want my kids completely sugared up. For my family, I try to keep the focus on the Resurrection while including the traditional fun. So,this led to me thinking about their baskets. I needed some non candy ideas. Here are some ideas my friends and I came up with:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paddle balls<\/p>\n

Card games<\/p>\n

Mini travel games<\/p>\n

Kid sized garden tools<\/p>\n

Nail polish or jamberries<\/p>\n

Hair accessories<\/p>\n

After all this brainstorming and research, I am greatly looking forward to all the Easter activities!<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful holiday!<\/p>\n
