    Easter Busy Bucket

Transcript

If your kids turn into wild animals after hibernation the second it hits 60 degrees, this is your sign to build an Easter best bucket. I grabbed a few fun finds from Five Below to put this together so my kids can play independently and I can enjoy a few moments of peace. Bubbles and chalk are always a hit for my little Picassos during the warm afternoons when we're outside nonstop. And both of my kids are obsessed with any kind of crafts, slime, and Play Doh for when we have to bring the fun inside. Five Below is my go to as a mom for big fun on a tiny budget.
