Fun Easter gifts children will love Big Bubblegum Bubble
Easter is one of the biggest holidays of the year, and a wonderful way to welcome the warmer days of spring. And while children will love the abundance of chocolate eggs at this time of year, what if you want to get them something a little bit different?
We've rounded up the best alternatives to Easter eggs from books to Easter toys and games for all the family. Consider them non-chocolate Easter eggs that make fun gifts for Easter weekend when, for some, the amount of chocolate children can consume may be excessive, and it might be better to have fun with a game or organise a family activity.
Over the long weekend, a toy to play with or a novel activity is a great way to keep kids occupied and maybe even learn or develop a skill. It can also make Easter extra special to get a non-edible gift to treasure.
These gifts are also great as alternative prizes for an Easter egg hunt or to put in Easter hampers. Why not create an Easter activity bag, with Easter craft kits, a themed activity book or reading book, stickers and a toy? If you know kids will be getting plenty of chocolate elsewhere, this is bound to be a gift that will stand out.
