Easter Basket Goodies with Welch's Easter and Go Organically Fruit Snacks - Review

I received Welch's Fruit Snacks and Go Organically Fruit Snacks for free to facilitate this review. Affiliate links may be in this posting. Thanks for supporting my blog.

When I look down the Easter aisle of the grocery stores and super markets I am really disappointed to see so many items that I would never buy for my kids. Most of these are pure sugar candies that have very little to offer in the way of healthy ingredients. If you are health conscious like me you would rather buy your kids wholesome snacks and other items to go in their Easter Baskets rather than candy.

There are two different kinds of fruit snacks I will be adding to my kids' Easter Baskets this year. The first is the limited edition Welch's Easter Fruit Snacks. The second is the Go Organically Fruit Snacks.

Welch's Easter Fruit Snacks

Welch's Easter Fruit Snacks come in an Easter themed box of 28 pouches or a Easter themed bag of 22 pouches, having 45 calories per pouch. The Welch's Easter Fruit Snacks have fun shapes which include a Chick, Egg, Flower and Bunny. These are now made with even more real fruit. They are an excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of Vitamins A & E. They are fat free and gluten free with no preservatives and low sodium. The Easter fruit snacks come in Mixed Fruit flavor. Welch's® Fruit Snacks have 11 different varieties.

These are kid pleasing with their adorable shapes and yummy fruity taste. These are perfect for filling Easter Baskets and stuffing Easter Eggs with. I love that real fruit puree is the first ingredient in these. I do wish that they didn't use artificial colors and modified ingredients though.

Go Organically Tropical Fruit Snacks

Go Organically Fruit Snacks come in Tropical, Fruit Medley, and Mixed Berry flavors. They come in boxes of 8 pouches. They are all USDA-certified organic, GMO free, and gluten free. They are made with real fruit purees, real fruit juices, natural flavors, and colors from natural sources with no preservatives. They provide 100% of the recommended daily value of Vitamin C per serving (one pouch) and are an excellent source of Vitamins A & E.

This is my first time trying the Go Organically Fruit Snacks. I received the Tropical flavor to try. I love the pineapple and grapefruit flavors the best. These are delicious and even though they are not as bright in color as the other fruit snacks they are just as yummy. I love that they are organic and GMO free! These are also great for filling Easter Baskets and stuffing Easter Eggs with. I will definitely be buying these if I can find them.

Hide 'em & Hatch 'em Eggs Easter Review and Giveaway

For Easter this year there is a new product that is great to add to Easter baskets and use for Easter egg hunts. These are also great for Spring. They are called Hide 'em Hatch 'em Eggs and I received some free to facilitate this review. These are eggs that actually hatch animals from their shells. They are also great to use in Easter egg hunts because they are so much more fun than plastic eggs and regular eggs. These come in packages of three eggs and hatch into three different animals: chick, duckling, and bunny.

We had a lot of fun with these eggs. Watching them hatch was the best part. I have seen a real chick hatch and the process was so realistic, although these are hatched from the egg into water. I admit that the bunny coming out the the egg was confusing for my youngest daughters. I had to re-educate them that a real bunny doesn't actually come out of an egg and is actually a non egg laying mammal like us. I made a whole homeschooling unit out of it. We talked about birth, the difference between mammals and birds and I even told them what a platypus is.

The Hide 'em Hatch 'em Eggs have a single hole in the top and two holes in the bottom to let the room temperature water inside the eggs once they are submerged. You need to hold them under the water briefly until all air bubbles stop coming to the surface so the water will go just over the top of the egg. Place them in a container that is clear so you can see all the action. We placed ours into glass canning jars and this worked very well.

The first day after about 6-12 hours you should see some breaking happening of the shell around the pet. We saw the first egg start to hatch after about 10 hours so you need to be patient with these. They will hatch at different rates and speeds for different people. Our first one that started hatching was the chick. It was really exciting for my kids. They were enjoying these a lot.

As the pets grow they will be slimy, because of the material the pets are made out of, and this also contributes to the water's murkiness. The shell will also crack and flake off. The water needs changed often to help solicit growth, keep the water at room temperature and keep the water clear. Slowly you will see more and more of the baby as it breaks out of its shell as it grows. If you are impatient you can help your little friend out by cracking the shell (just like a mamma might need to do for her hatchling) or you can change the water and let it continue to grow as we did.

The baby can be kept in the water so it can continue to grow a tad bit more out of the egg. Once removed from the water shrinkage will occur but the animal will dry and harden and then you can play with it. These are great for Easter or spring, but if you do get them just be aware that they take a while to hatch, so plan ahead. Ours took about 5 days to be fully out of their shells. Also these are recommended for children over 3 years old because of small part choking hazard.
