Teaching Children – Tips and Techniques

Easter Activities for Children


It’s easy and fun to make cupcakes that are inviting to eat. Just make your favorite cupcake recipe and frosting (or use canned). Start with white frosting and color part of it green for a “grass” effect since not everyone likes coconut (which can be dyed green for a real grass effect). Then top with your favorite Easter candies such as jelly beans, decorative marshmallow flowers on toothpicks, Easter sprinkles, etc.
