Last year, we began an adorable Easter tradition which I found via THIS post from Meet The Dubiens. This was so simple and quick to put together and R just LOVED it. He was still talking about it months later. Here is what happened last Easter…..
On Easter eve we found some magical beans…
We dug a hole in the garden….
and we planted the magic Easter beans.
We patted down the soil…
and gave it all a good watering.
Then, on Easter morning, we went outside and found this growing in the garden!
Yummy! I like gardening!
This morning, I prepared this year’s magical Easter beans and lollipop. Here are the beans….
And here is what R will find on Easter Sunday after planting his magical beans.

What a sweet tradition! I love it!
Thanks Rebekah! We had so much fun with this last year and R would point to that spot in the garden for months afterwards, talking about the magic beans.
LOVE this! (If we can get the snow melted a bit more and the ground unfreezes enough.)
Hi Melissa! Perhaps you could try an indoor version? Plant some beans in a pot inside the house?
Melissa are you from Alaska?

I LOVE this idea!! I love it so much, that I “found” some magic beans, and lollipops today to start this tradition for ourselves. Thank you so much for this awesome tradition that we will start with our little ones!! I can’t wait!!
I’m so glad you loved it Melody! It really is such a cute idea. R found this year’s beans today. He was so excited and kept talking all night about what he might find in the garden tomorrow. So so sweet. I hope you and your family have fun with it!
That’s a fantastic idea. I bet he loved that.
