From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor
When I was a kid, children ate nothing but sugar and fast food and every holiday was a festival of gluttony. This makes for fond memories in adulthood, but isn't, alas, very good for one's health.

What to Put in an Easter Basket (Besides Candy)
So in the interests of helping the planet's youth avoid health problems down the road (or, given the childhood obesity epidemic, right now) we've put together a collection of no-candy Easter gifts.

Easter Basket Toys for All Ages
What impressed me about this list is that I think kids would actually enjoy receiving most of the items mentioned. As someone who used to boycott houses whose owners gave out apples on Halloween, I'm not easy to impress.

Active Toys for Easter Baskets
I realize this is sort of sad, but I never caught on to the fact that the jump rope my Dad gave me when I was a kid was probably an effort on his part to keep me from turning into a human Peep.

Easter Baskets for Tweens
When I was this age, there was no such thing as a tween. Also, we thought fat free cookies made you thin. So you can see that the world has come a long way since the dark ages.
