mini me Monday: Easter basket formulas + a tip

Putting together a little Easter basket for Hendrik is always fun, and I've developed a bit of a formula for making it (a) not too sugary and (b) not filled with junk that will get tossed aside: a little game, one candy, a small Lego, a book, and some fun socks. And how could I not think about what the little brother version would be? Not saying I'm going to buy these, since he's not even born yet, but it was still fun to imagine what else I'd add to my Target pickup order...

Okay, okay. I did buy the book and the adorable little booties (I mean, they match the pants set!). But I'm making an Easter basket for Hendrik and for Peter but not myself, so there's the justification. Also I of course wouldn't put candy in a baby's Easter basket, but this counts as an eating for two situation - I most definitely did get a little package of my favorite Cadbury mini eggs.

As for Hendrik, he's going to enjoy these little goodies, I know - and even better, he's going to enjoy them with this printable scavenger hunt that I found (here's another option, or an easier one too). He'll work his way through the clues before finding his little bag at the end. 

We've done these now for Christmas, Valentine's Day, and heck even a random Saturday when he just needed something different to do. He loves figuring out the riddles, it is some great delayed gratification to make the prize even more fun, and it's super easy since I don't have to come up with any clues myself! Just cut out and hide - highly recommend a printable scavenger hunt.
