Non-Chocolate Easter Ideas for Kids

Non-Chocolate Easter Ideas for Kids

Easter doesn’t have to equal mounds of chocolate. (Though a little bit doesn’t hurt!) This year, if you’re looking for other options that won’t need to break the bank, try combining some bigger ticket items on the list with the ones that are easier on the pocketbook, and consider dollar store finds like markers, sidewalk chalk and erasers to fill in the gaps. They’ll get tons of enjoyment and hours of play, minus the sugar crash.

Most of these can be found in-store, so you can pick them up now. Otherwise, that Prime membership for Amazon will come in handy!

Lil’ Gleemerz Babies

Soooo cute! It’s not all about bunnies and chicks – these brightly coloured lemur-like babies will steal your heart. Plus – rainbow lights and some fun sounds, one that may or not be a fart. So – the perfect kid toy!

Kinetic Sand

It’s this year’s fidget spinner. Kinetic Sand is pretty cool – mould it, sculpt it, squeeze it – with no sandy mess left on hands or the carpet. It also comes in a variety of cool colours so kids can create masterpieces, or simply use it as a fidget toy.

Little Live Scruff A Luvs Blossom Bunny

The super-cute Scruff a Luv puppies that we loved during the holiday season have been brought back with a twist for Easter. These bunnies are in need of adoption, and because they come in a little ball of fur, your kids can learn about taking care of a pet as they wash, dry groom and shower some TLC on them. So sweet!

Andrews and Blaine Easter Basket

In recent years we’ve been spoiled for choice when it comes to the actual Easter basket. We love the variety of animals and colours available so that each kiddo can get their favourite. Also, we’re fans of the canvas construction to decrease the amount of plastic used this holiday.

Fingerlings Untamed- Baby T-Rex 

We love the “untamed” and “tamed” modes to these wee beasties: in untamed mode, expect them to roar, hiss and chomp; in tamed mode, purrs, snuggles and dino love.
