As Easter approaches, thousands of Easter eggs are being snapped up. I always buy Easter eggs, but I also like to buy gifts that my kids can actually use or play with.
So I’ve put together some alternative Easter gifts that kids will love!
Easter themed games
We are big fans of Orchard Toys in our family. My youngest has autism and finds it difficult to focus. That being said, we found that he really enjoyed the games and puzzles because they were easy to pick up and, most importantly, fun!
Egg surprise It is a counting game with a rabbit theme. Spin the carrot spinner and select a bunny card with the same number as the number on the spinner. Turn over the card to reveal a number of eggs – the more eggs, the better! The winner is the player with the most eggs at the end of the game.
A new favorite from Orchard Toys is this adorable matching game, Peter Rabbit – Rabbit Race.
Join the mischievous Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Rabbit, Flopsy and Mopsy on an exciting exploration of digging under Mr. McGregor's vegetables and stealing his fruits and vegetables!
What I love about this game is that it's age-appropriate so the whole family can enjoy playing with these classic characters.

Hot Cross Rabbit by Carys Bexington
The lovely folks at Quarto sent us this beautiful children’s picture book – Hot Cross Rabbit by Carys Bexington.
Meet Steve, a rather hot-tempered grumpy bunny, and his more active friend, Nugget, an adorable chick. Steve failed to make any chocolate eggs for the Easter egg hunt. What is he going to do?
At Nugget's instigation, he decided to make eggs his own way. Steve's attempt wasn't just a normal egg, but it hatched a… dragon! Chaos and drama unfold as dragonets rampage across town, devouring Easter eggs and leading to unexpected consequences!
