If you’re like us, you want to shout from the rooftops…SPRING IS HERE! Easter has always been an important holiday for us and our families, but the symbolism of new life has never been more true than it is after an especially long, gray winter season.

SPRING! Bring on the sunshine, tulips in every color and Easter egg hunts; we are ready.

Beyond dressing our littles up in the obligatory pastel, flower-adorned dresses and bow ties (because we will only be their fashion gurus for so long…), and carefully pulling out the Easter baskets to prepare for that special Bunny’s pending arrival, we at What Moms Love have been searching through the Easter treasure trove that is the blogosphere.

We have pulled together a list of meals, snacks and treats that are sure to show your little bunnies how special this day is, and of course to let you have a little fun in the process.

BREAKFAST

Hop to it with these Easter breakfast ideas. Here are some yummy and adorable ways to get your littles out of bed in the morning.

Easter Breakfast Ideas for Kids | Healthy, easy and fun recipes for you to make - also great for brunch!

Nothing gets our kiddos to gobble up their food faster than when we make the “ordinary” into “extraordinary” (it’s part of the job description right?) and create animal masterpieces out of an otherwise normal breakfast. Taking the extra few minutes to do this also allows us to sometimes sneak in some extra fruits and veggies (shhh, don’t tell!) when those fruits are not your normal bananas and blueberries…but the Easter Bunny, himself!

Easter Breakfast Ideas for Kids | Healthy, easy and fun recipes for you to make - also great for brunch!

(1)  While we are certain that this Bunny Face Pancake from Betty Crocker would make any little one smile, we had never considered the opportunity for cuteness a (2) Bunny Bum Pancake would bring (from Taste of Home), not to mention a (3) whole group of Bunny Pals like these posted by Instagrammer @cutechichai, ready to celebrate the day.

(4)  And no Easter is complete without an ode to the classic peeps, and Kara’s Party Ideas figured out a way to creatively bring that to breakfast with these Peeps-Shaped Pancakes. The secret to the perfect Peeps shape? This Peeps Cookie Pan!

Easter Breakfast Ideas for Kids | Healthy, easy and fun recipes for you to make - also great for brunch!

(1)  Wrangle the kids away from their baskets and ensure full bellies by letting them get in on the fun and decorate their own Easter Egg Pancakes (via The Joys of Boys) with their favorite fruit toppings.

(2)  Running short on time Easter morning? You can take Fork and Beans brilliant Hatching Chick idea and even make it out of your child’s favorite store-bought waffles.

(3)  And if your kiddos are not pancake fans, you can still get in on the cute animal fun by making this Bunny Oatmeal (from Kitchen Fun With My 3 Sons).

(4)  Or these easy Breakfast Bagel Bunnies with cream cheese and fruit (via Handmade Charlotte).

(5)  Fuel up right for the yearly Easter Egg hunt by making these Healthy Oatmeal Peanut Butter Eggs from Savy Naturalista.

(6) These adorable Easter Egg Breakfast Popsicles from Eats Amazing require a little bit of preparation but are a fun way to get some protein into your kid’s breakfast for some extra staying power.

Speaking of protein, we loved all the creative ideas that were out there for a power-packed, classic eggs (any way your kids like them) breakfast with a twist to celebrate the day.

(1)  Worth Pinning stumbled upon an easy way to make her scrambled eggs a little hoppy-er (sorry…the pun was there, waiting to be used!) when she discovered funny shaped bacon that was destined to become bunny ears.

(2)  Or opt for the Fried Egg version from Kid Spot complete with bacon ears, blueberry eyes and chive whiskers!

(3)  How could your kids possibly not clean their plates with this adorable Scrambled Baby Bird and Nest from Kitchen Fun With My 3 Sons?!

(4)  If your kids prefer hard boiled eggs, these stunning Hash Brown Nests and Boiled Eggs from Kids Cooking Activities are sure to make them smile.

(5)  Even something so simple like this insanely cute Easter Chick Fried Egg can be a special Easter breakfast for your littles (courtesy of the Kix Cereal blog by Meet the Dubiens).

We love the way these Mamas found a way to make veggies irresistible with (1) Easter Egg Hummus Toasts (from Fork and Beans) and (2) Veggie Carrot-Shaped Pizza (from Hungry Happenings) as a way to get kids excited to eat their healthy lunch creations.

(3)  Extend the colorful Easter Egg hunt fun with an Easter Egg themed lunch idea with many different surprise courses like the one shown here from A Kailo Chic Life.

(4)  Or bring the cute Easter animal and egg-shaped theme into lunch using The Idea Room’s genius Easter Bunny Bread Bowl (just add your little’s favorite soup and voila! Easter lunch!) or Itsy Bitsy Foodies’ Easter Egg Quesadilla (so simple, but so easy to make your child’s eyes light up!)

(1)  A few simple additions will turn your regular hard boiled eggs into irresistible Hard Boiled Bunnies and Chicks (from CBC Radio Canada’s blog).

(2)  We love adding our tot’s favorite nut butter and some strategically placed fruit to a slice of toast for a Bunny or Chick Open Faced Sandwich that is sure to delight (this could also be a quick breakfast option)!

(3)  With a little cookie cutter prep (this set should do the trick), you can use Mama magic to turn a normal cheese sandwich into a festive Easter Chick Lunch (via Red Stamp).

There is still an opportunity for easy and fun food art that will amaze your kids as much as the concept of the Easter Bunny itself.

Not to mention these adorable fruit creations:

We couldn’t do an Easter food round-up without highlighting all of these pastel treats that, while definitely adding to the sugar  high for the day, were too aww-inducing to pass up.

We have fond memories of Easters growing up – capping off the celebration with Grandma’s amazing lamb-shaped cake.
