I've seen a few seed packet templates on Pinterest, but I wanted our jelly beans to come from the Easter Bunny, so I came up with my own design. (To download my magic jelly bean envelope for free, click here.)
As per the Easter Bunny's instructions, you need to plant the jelly beans in sugar, and the next morning there will be a sweet surprise.
Our jelly beans grew into chocolate flowers, but any sort of sucker would work.
What could be more fun than jelly beans that grow into chocolate flowers or another Easter treat? Magic jelly beans are a fun and easy way to add a little magic to the holidays. I hope your little one finds one of these special envelopes in his/her basket on Easter morning.

I had to look at this idea. my boys don't like jelly beans, but love chocolate and the past few years I've left some magic chocolate beans out for them in the mailbox. It says to plant them the night before easter for a special surprise on easter morning and then I put out chocolate lollipops before the egg hunt. when they were 3 this was unbelievably amazing to watch their eyes at the wonder of magic beans.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a lot of fun. My boys don't really love jelly beans either ... but that is OK, as these ones are for planting, not for eating. :-)
