Unzip this fabric egg and out pop three little stuffed pals -- a chick, a bunny and a lamb. So sweet, without the calories. It's even washable. Egg house, $15. Pier One Imports. |
Lure the Easter Bunny to your hutch with a festive sidewalk drawing. Egg-shaped sidewalk chalk, $2.99 for 6. Stein Mart.
| Try a little chick ornament in your favorite bunny's basket. It'll last a lot longer than the marshmallow variety. Chick, $3. Pier One Imports. |

You won't even miss the chocolate eggs when you whip up a festive batch of fat-free Jell-O beans. Well, maybe. Jell-O Jigglers Bean Mold, $3.99, Target, or on the Web: www.kraftfoods.com/jello/index.jhtml.
| Can't be bothered with dyeing eggs? Then try pretty napkins instead. Party express beverage napkins, $2.79 for 16. Lynn's Hallmark. |
