DIY: Create & Deliver Easter Baskets to Children and Adults Supported by LifeScape!
Help children and adults with disabilities to celebrate the important time of Easter by creating Easter baskets. Many children and adults will not have the opportunity to spend time with family during Easter. Your creative touch and gift will help people at LifeScape feel the love during the Easter time.
Easter baskets can be made from any ‘container,’ big or small. Containers could be a plastic cup, a basket, a Tupperware container, a box, a paper folded to hold items, egg carton, small cloth bag, clay pot, etc. Decorate the containers as you choose.
A variety of item ideas to fill Easter basket are listed below. Be sure to write an Easter Note from you to your LifeScape Friend. Pick a theme or two below and have fun creating an unique basket knowing you are sharing your kindness during the special Easter time!
If you have any questions, please reach out to Becky Sluiter at Rebecca.Sluiter@LifeScapeSD.org or 605.444.9621. Thank you for your gift of love during Easter.
