LEGO, plushies and craft kits – We’ve found the best Easter gifts for kids that aren’t chocolate

As much as we all love a chocolatey treat, the thought of Easter's guaranteed sugar high is enough to fill any parent with dread.

If you want to avoid your children bouncing off the walls, the Made For Mums team are here to introduce you to an alternative, chocolate-free Easter gift list.

From cute-as-a-button soft toys to adorable bunny LEGO, arty craft projects and everything in-between, these present ideas are a lovely way to welcome in spring and celebrate Easter.

And if you still want to keep the fun element of the Easter hunt, you can try hiding some of these in the garden too!

What do most kids get for Easter?

If there's one word that's synonymous with Easter, it's chocolate. Children around the world receive Easter eggs of all different shapes and sizes, often hidden throughout the garden to be discovered during an Easter egg hunt.

Some parents also decide to go down the plush toy route, in which case bunnies and chicks are a popular choice. It's also common to gift children arts and crafts, which can be specifically Easter-themed— if you're on a budget, you can't go wrong with paper plate bunnies and painting eggs!
