No Easter bunny for tweens?
Liz Atwood fears the Easter Bunny tradition is coming to an end in her family this Tween Tuesday:
I’m afraid the Easter Bunny won’t be hopping to our house much longer. This year, my 8-year-old declared he was too old for the neighborhood egg hunt, although he changed his mind at the last minute when we told him he might find a prize egg good for a $20 gift certificate.
It seems the second child grows up so much faster than the first...
My eighth-grader would be happy to go on Easter Egg hunts if he weren’t too old. The younger one, however, always wants to catch up to his older brother and pretend he’s older than he is.
A few days ago, I bought the egg dye and a couple dozen eggs as always. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that our tradition of coloring the eggs and of the kids looking for them on Easter morning will last at least one more year. I know I’ll miss these traditions when my kids finally grow out of them.
Is your tween getting too old for the Easter Bunny?

Most kids out grow it but you still can keep some into easter. Maybe get your tween to decroate the house or still but together the gift basket and put clues on where it is in eggs. Just make the theme older for them :) good luck

Um...Well...I am 12 years old and I still love Easter! Also 8 doesn't count as a tween it counts as a kid!
