This is a special week, as you all know. I grew up Lutheran and we call this Holy Week in preparation for Easter Sunday. Most evenings were spent in church from Wednesday on and special activities were planned for Sunday. Big family meals and fun for the children with egg hunts and plenty of food and friends around.
These days, with only 1 child and no family around us at all, it is a lot quieter at my home. I actually feel kind of bad for my son that he grew up without the big family gatherings and fun holiday preparation activities that I did. We do plan a nice family meal on Sunday after church and usually have other folks around the table that are “orphans” like we are, so it becomes a nice day. Sometimes we will travel to the Bay Area and spent it with my best friend.
This year, I have been so busy I have not had the time to plan what we are doing in just a few short day! ACK! I need to get on it. What does your family do during Easter week? Do you have special memories of fabulous activities with your family?

Last week I shared with all of you a few home decorating ideas you could do using various HERSHEY’S Easter candies. Today, I am going to show you a different idea that you can use as Easter basket fillers or for elementary school parties.
As you all know, I am a grandmother to an almost 5 year old little girl who attends Pre-K School. For their upcoming Easter party, we made up little goodie bags filled with HERSHEY’S Kisses and Rolo candies in the pretty pastel colored wrappers.
Instead of just stuffing them into little cellophane bags, we decided to do something a little different to make them a little bit more special.
HERSHEY’S Kisses Party Favors
food-safe cellophane bags
curling ribbon
pastel colored cardstock
fine tip markers
glue dots
scissors
bags of HERSHEY’S Kissses and/or Rolo candies
Gather up all of your supplies and lay them out in an assembly line fashion. We measured around the bottom of a HERSHEY’S Kiss and made ourselves a circle template. We then traced this circle onto the cardstock paper and cut out a slew of circles. If you have a circle punch, you could use that too.
You can decorate the little circles with tiny Easter theme’d stickers or let the kids draw on them. In our case, the Princess had a great time decorating the circles with fine tip markers. She drew flowers, hearts, Easter eggs, etc. onto them. We then used a glue dot to stick the circle onto the bottom of each HERSHEY’S Kiss. The photo on the right shows them on the bottoms of the candies.
Simply toss them into the cellophane bags and tie a ribbon around them. We used curling ribbon which made them a lot cuter. You can add tags or decorate the little bags any way you like. Keep it simple or go way out! We used a glue dot and affixed a Rolo in the center of our curling ribbon bow which looks super cute (see top photo on the right).
You can get some great Easter craft ideas, recipes, etc. by visiting the Celebrate With HERSHEY’S web site. Matter of fact, hop on over there today and come back to let me know which idea or recipe was your favorite!
