Easter Morning Jelly Bean Surprise

By Christel M. Hoydic, Macaroni Kid Middletown March 17, 2021


Here is a fun family tradition to start for Easter Morning!

The week before Easter, the "Easter Bunny" sent our son a very special package... a small bag of jelly beans and a note that read:

You are a sweet kid! I thought you deserved a special treat.
These jelly beans are magic, but only this time of the year. If you plant them any other time, you're sure to shed a tear. Plant them in your yard, in a spot that's bright and sunny. And on Easter morning, a surprise from ME, The Easter Bunny! Love, The Easter Bunny xoxo

The wonder of these magic jelly beans brought such excitement for the Easter season! Picking the perfect spot, my son planted the jelly beans and couldn't wait to see what would happen.

On Easter morning, he came out to find large chocolate carrots had grown in place of the jelly beans. The look on his face was worth the planning and digging up jelly beans in the middle of the night!

What special traditions do you and your family share during the Easter season?
