The Most Excellent Easter Gifts for Kids (for Easter & Beyond)

The Most Excellent Easter Gifts for Kids (for Easter & Beyond) | AD

With Easter just around the corner, you might be looking for some fun Easter gift ideas for kids. Sure, chocolate is great but it doesn’t last very long! So here you’ll find some Easter treats that provide long-lasting joy (without the sugar rush!). The below ideas for Easter gifts for kids will provide plenty of Easter fun but also last for a long time after and be played with again and again. Let’s get started!

Celebrate Easter with Sylvanian Families

Sylvanian Families have been loved since 1985 and are still a family favourite in many households. The adorable range of animal characters are fun all year round, of course. There are many fun sets to choose from, including some seasonal Easter sets.

Here, you can see the Sylvanian Families Easter Egg Hutch Set (£16.99) and the Sylvanian Families Easter Celebration Set (£21.99).

The Easter Egg Hutch includes the Marguerite Rabbit baby in an Easter-themed outfit, sweet accessories and a small house with a bunny and Easter egg design. It’s very cute! You can hide the rabbit-shaped Easter eggs to create an Easter egg hunt. Also look for the hidden egg motifs all over the house and furniture to see how many you can spot.

The Easter Celebration Set is another great Easter-themed set from Sylvanian Families. This one comes with two Marguerite Rabbit children, a boy and a girl, dressed in fresh and colourful special spring-themed outfits with matching marguerite brooches. The set also includes Easter eggs and other fun accessories, including sweets that can be put inside the Easter eggs for a festive Easter egg hunt for the characters.

Easter Fun with CONNETIX Tiles

Another favourite in our house (and many more across the globe!) is CONNETIX Tiles. CONNETIX Tiles are high-quality magnetic tiles that offer endless creative fun. You can use the tiles to build pretty much anything you want.

On the CONNETIX website, you can find a guide to Easter inspired build ideas such as Easter puzzles, 3D bunnies, Easter-themed ball runs and more. CONNETIX tiles are absolutely brilliant for hands-on learning, creativity, and STEM skills development all year round. 

Pastel colours are the perfect choice for Easter so we’ve added the Pastel Ball Run Pack to our CONNETIX Collection. This fun set includes the following pieces:

• 48 x ball run squares in pastel colours
• 8 x pastel coloured balls
• 2 x Y Shape Split Tubes
• 2 x Long Stairs
• 2 x S Bend Tubes
• 8 x U Shaped Tubes (180 degree bend)
• 8 x Slide Tubes
• 12 x Right Angle Tubes (90 degree bend)
• 6 x Long Straight Tubes
• 8 x Short Straight Tubes
• 2 x Bowls
• Inspiration Book

With this fun set, you can get creative building fascinating ball runs, sorting tubes, mazes, and more – all while exploring gravity and motion. The ball run pieces are compatible with the regular CONNETIX tiles, of course. We find that the more tiles you have, the more creative you can get with your builds!

Easter Illumination with Hello Kitty Sanrio Moon Light 

This adorable little My Melody Moon Light (£11.99) makes a lovely gift for Easter and beyond. The bunny character, My Melody, is naturally a perfect fit for Easter but will look great on a desk, bedside table, or shelf all year round.

The light is made from durable, high-quality PVC, is 11cm tall and fits perfectly in a child’s hand. The squishy moon is what lights up at the touch of a button. Enjoy the glow of the moon light and watch as it changes colour.

The light turns off automatically to conserve the battery. Other characters are also available – Cinnamonroll, Pompompurin, Kuromi, and Hello Kitty.

Reusable Fun with Airbrush Plush Hair’iffic Squish Pals

Next, another fun craft activity that you can do over and over again. Airbrush Plush Squish Pals Mini (RRP £7.99) are small plush toys with long colourful hair that you can customise and style as you like. Each set includes a unique airbrush tool, washable markers, stencils and accessories to create your own vibrant and cute designs and styles. 

There are three fabulous plush personalities to collect: Pinkie, Pixie, or Posh. Simply get creative with the included tools to create fun and crazy hairstyles and body art for your plush character.

Thanks to the clever wash-off pens and their amazing chalk pen ingredients, you can easily wash off your design with water (or pop your plush in the washing machine), let your plush character dry, then start again. My kids found that the Spray Pump was not quite as easy to use as the hairdryer style tool that comes with the larger Airbrush Plush Hair’iffic Squish Pals but they soon got the hang of it.

Here, you can see my 6-year-old’s design – she loves creating crazy designs as you can see!

Collaboration.
