Five great Easter gifts for kids that aren’t chocolate
Let’s face it, while Easter eggs can be blooming delicious, a hopped-up-on-chocolate preschooler is often the last thing we want to deal with over a chilled-out Easter break.
Further, if you’re dropping in on friends or family who have little ones, you might want to avoid giving them something that doesn’t fit with the family’s dietary habits or general Easter wishes. You don’t want to get uninvited before you’re halfway in the door now do you? Or spark a rift that lasts for years?! All because you gave their toddler a chocolate egg! Gasp!
With all this in mind, we thought it made a lot of sense to focus on some non-sugary traditions when it comes to the Easter gift game.
