25 Non-Food Easter Gift Ideas for Kids

I’m not one to go overboard with gifts for my kids at Easter. Don’t get me wrong, my kids don’t miss out but I just don’t feel it’s necessary to spend a heap of money at Easter and I don’t like to buy cheap junk just for the sake of it that gets thrown away the next day.

It’s important to me to remind my kids what the day is actually for. We like to keep it simple in our house with a few nice treats from the Easter bunny, an Easter egg hunt in our backyard and a small gift from us (because we’re not the Easter bunny!).

Anyway, I know there are lots of you who don’t like to give your kids heaps of chocolate or lollies for Easter and there are also heaps of you who have kids that can’t eat chocolate or don’t have many safe foods.

If you want to make your own food treats I've done a blog post  about that and you might like to check that out here. If you’re looking for some non-food gifts you might like to consider a few of these:
