Make a Perfect Bouquet Try this easy way to get rich hues at your dining room table. Start with white carnations and add food coloring to water in a vase – try one pink vase, one green and one yellow to start off with. Add the carnations, and keep the flowers in their separate vases for about four days before combining in your desired arrangement. Tip: For even more color, add white baby’s breath and some greenery to make the arrangement look professional. You’ll find yourself getting super creative and having a good time D-Y-O-A'ing – designing your own arrangement!
DIY Egg Dyes Are you a nervous mom that doesn’t like watching their children’s fingers turn blue and red when they’re dyeing Easter eggs? Try these natural alternatives to traditional food coloring with your kids and feel instantly better about their tiny fingers touching their faces.
Worthwhile Desserts A great way to teach your kids moderation with sweets is by making baking an all-day event! When you’ve spent all day prepping and decorating your cupcakes, you’ll be less likely to swallow up four at a time! To keep it an all-natural experience, try purchasing an organic food coloring and make all sorts of different pastel frostings for your kids to have fun and experiment with. They’ll be out of your hair and exercising their creativity all afternoon.
Homemade Smoothies Try blending 1.5 cups plain yogurt, 3.5 bananas, 14 ounces of frozen strawberries, 1/4 cup skim milk (you can substitute soy milk if preferred) and 2 tablespoons honey for about four minutes and serve in little cups to all of your guests. This is the perfect pre-dinner snack for your kids when they’re getting hungry and grumpy waiting for the food to be served. The beautiful pink color is perfect for Easter, too! You’ll be feeding your kids and guests the nutrients they need, while keeping with your pastel theme!
Pastels That Pack a Punch We just couldn't resist! You’re an adult; it’s your holiday too! Try this for a fun, pastel-colored adult beverage at your family Easter celebration. Get a couple bottles of champagne, depending on how many of-age guests you’re expecting, and lay out an assortment of juices. You can try orange, pineapple and grapefruit to start. If you've got some champagne flutes or nice wine glasses in storage, brush ‘em off and bring them out to the party! This way your adult family and friends in addition to your kids can have a fun and relaxing pastel-themed holiday!
