Integrate Word Play into your Egg Hunt!

Last night, my sister and I headed to Target to gather egg stuffing supplies.  If you haven't gotten yours, it's time to start thinking about it.

Technically, we are apparently boycotting Target.  I don't know if I can handle another boycott.  I mean, a girl's gotta shop!  We knew we weren't going to Wal-Mart.  I mentioned the Dollar Store, but Sara quickly shot that down.  Apparently, there is lead in their candy??  Geez...who knew.  To be fair, this morning, I couldn't find a thing on lead in candy from the Dollar Store...but I did find this interesting article about what not to buy at the Dollar Store.

We finally decided Target was the lesser of all the evils of cheap shopping.  But, in order to maintain our dignity, we decided to pretend to be lesbians in solidarity to our gay friends.  Of course, once we got there, we forgot all about that.  Sorry, friends...

Anyway...........while we were there, we (ok, it was Sara!) had a stroke of genius.  We were in the toy dept searching for a puzzle to use for stuffing our family hunt eggs and Sara picked up Bananagrams.  The idea is to put some letters in the eggs and have the kiddos use the letters to form words, which they will turn in for a treat or prize.  BRILLIANT!  We decided to save that idea for next year when Squeaker can participate.  But if you have older kiddos...
