Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays, although we do it in a totally secular way. For me, it’s a celebration of spring itself: a nod to rebirth in the most natural sense—think baby chicks and budding flowers more than anything religious.

In any case, when my boys were little, I went all out with the baskets and seasonal decor. These days, it’s harder to find things that feel special, are toxin-free/healthy, and still excite older kids.
