I was thinking you could use orange flavoured sherbet which you buy by the quarter, they sell it on the retro sweet sites if you don't have a shop near by that sells it.
Or how about using those jelly crystals and add the instructions to make the jelly and call it The Easter Bunny's carrot jelly.

I don't know what to make/ do for Easter. I hate to say it but the children I have to give to weren't very . . . what's the word? . . . receptive about their gift baskets at Christmas and I don't know if I can be bothered now. It's never been a case of money (not that I'm rich!) but I have 4 children to buy for and my friend has my 2. Last year I brought them all branded eggs (though they'd actually asked for money) and my two got some basket thing with little eggs and jellies from the pound shop.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do this year? I won't do bunny poop as the reindeer poop just got a blank look and I don't like to give money.

How about an Easter themed craft set? Decorate an egg, an eggcup, a mug...

Got a box of 6 bath fizzers, oval shape, from charity shop today -80p -all boxed -unwanted gift. Thought they might fit into an egg box. Any wonderful ideas on decorating it the top of it ?
It's onlt a buff sort of coloured one -needs a bit of brightening up........can't believe that a few weeks back we got eggs in a lovely green one and I let OH chuck it:eek:

Mary, how do you get such good charity shop bargains?! i never seem to find anything!!
Tesco are doing 'Happy Eggs' for £1, they are free range and come in a bright yellow carton, I have one you could have but it'd prob cost more to send it than to buy one??
