Also… This Saturday, April 9th and Saturday, April 23rd from 12-2, kids will get 2 free wooden Easter Eggs to paint and take home.
Click here to find the Mill Stores closest to you!
The past few years, I’ve printed these coupons and put them in the kids plastic eggs for their egg hunt. The coupons are good for things like “Have Dessert Tonight” and “Choose a move rental, with popcorn”. Very simple but the kids love getting & redeeming them! Great way to get away from candy as well!
I’m putting them up here for you to click on the picture and print if you’d like to use them!
Added some blank ones so you can make up your own!
Enjoy!
