Tiny Treats for Easter Eggs and Baskets
Our early, warm spring has melted the snow away, and is turning brown lawns into green grass ringed with borders of crocus and daffodils. Children will be outside for this year’s Easter egg hunts, finding eggs under leafy bushes or hidden among the clover and violets.
Dragonwings is decorated for the season with egg trees, spring flowers, and colorful displays of tiny treats – just the right size for filling eggs and Easter baskets. Here is a sampling of many of our favorites – some are useful, some are silly, and all are fun.

Talk about classics, tin insect clickers like these have been around forever, and have never lost their appeal.

Baby robins, lop-eared bunnies, fuzzy chicks and bright-eyed squirrels make a basket of cuteness, and they are also finger puppets.

We were amazed at the detail on these little dinosaur erasers. Our mailman wished he'd had some when he was a kid.

Very tricky wooden catch balls. Try to catch the ball on one side, then the other, on the bottom of the handle, and then for your grand finale catch it on the top peg. Practice makes perfect. i've seen it done.

Recognize this little owl purse? Probably not, since they "fly" out of the store as soon as they arrive.
