Snacktivity: Rice crispy treat nests with candy eggs

My favorite recipe:
4 TBS butter
1 Tsp Vanilla
5 Cups of crispy rice cereal
1 bag of mini marshmallows

Melt butter in a large pan. Add marshmallows and vanilla. Stir until just melted. Add cereal. Mix well. Cool slightly. Press mix into cupcake pan to form nests. Add 3 candy eggs (we like jelly beans or Cadbury mini eggs) in the center.

Activity: Hat parade
Print and cut out the hats. Staple the strips to form a band that fits around your head. Decorate the blank hat any way you like (add feathers, rhinestones, color, etc.). Choose which hat you and your stuffed animals would like to wear. For multiple kids: each choose a hat, turn on some music, and have a parade!

What you need:
pipe cleaners
o-shaped cereal (we used Cheerios)

Thread cereal onto pipe cleaners until they resemble worms. Curl both ends of the pipe cleaners so the cereal stays on. Bend to shape them likes worms. Great for fine motor skills development.
