So one thing that I noticed is that there is a huge difference in the behavior of children who don’t eat sugar and those who do. I’ve literally seen a sweet little child become defiant after eating sugar on more than one occasion. I’ve observed children in several different scenarios and have come to my own unscientific conclusion that I will lean toward the absence of sugar for young children.
Easter is right around the corner and that is the time for Peepsโข, chocolate bunnies, jellybeans, Cadbury Eggsโข, and more but this holiday, I am looking to create bags with no sugar items like boiled eggs that are dyed and sugar-free candy instead. There is even a better way to create an Easter basket that children will love, it’s an Easter bag!
“I’ve literally seen a sweet little child become defiant after eating sugar on more than one occasion.”
I love sites like CafePress to create custom items and I used them this year to make these personalized tote bags.
In each personalized tote, I put a bunny t-shirt, African American books to inspire, their Easter outfit, and a stuffed animal. One of my favorite series of books is Little People, Big Dreams. They feature many inspirational people but I picked African-American leaders from the series to add to the Easter bags.
These are my favorite series of inspirational books to give as gifts for children.
This is just a new way to avoid sugar and still have children enjoy getting a special gift for Easter.
