Instructions
Honestly, the board is a palate for you and your kids to decorate however you want. We put some of the smaller loose candies in cupcake holders and placed grass under carrots and marshmallows. We drew confetti lines on the eggs for a li’l egg-citement. And, we got a few sweets from local businesses, ’cause we love supporting and shopping local!
