As Sunday, March 31 approaches, the Easter bunny (and his devoted assistants, AKA parents) are gathering gifts and goodies for Easter baskets. When putting together an Easter basket, it’s important to find products that are fairly mess-free, entertaining, and — after hunting for eggs — have zero grams of sugar. We’ve rounded up some products that check all the boxes!
These spring and Easter-inspired toys are perfect for kids of all ages and interests. You’ll find arts and crafts kits, educational toys, outdoor toys, must-have springtime dolls, Easter card games, water balloons, bubbles, and plush toys that fit the season. If you want to decorate eggs without the smell and mess of liquid dye, there’s also a PEEPS egg decorator.
Scroll for 35 spring-themed toys and gifts that your kids will love, without the additional sugar high.
