Step away from the chocolate bunnies. At least until after breakfast.

Before my kids consume their body weight in candy on Easter, I try to get something healthy into their bodies at breakfast. One really clever way to do this is to put the colorful Rise & Shine Gift Box from Kid Central Kitchen on the table and let them think that Peter Cottontail delivered it himself.

What they'll find nestled in the turquoise mixing bowl is Kid Central Kitchen's own low-sugar, wholegrain pancake mix and some pancake molds in fun shapes. Also tucked into the bright green paper "Easter grass" is a smiling orange mixing spoon and colorful measuring cups that you'll want to use long past the holiday. My son slept with the spoon for days. Just saying - it's that cute.  -Christina
