Hoppity Hop. The Easter Bunny is coming soon! Check out our top 10 Easter Basket gifts that are not candy. Why limit the sugary treats in your kids Easter Basket? Check this out:
Adults are advised by the WHO to only have 6 teaspoons of sugar per day:
8-16 years 5 teaspoons per day
5-8 years 4 teaspoon per day
2-5 years 3 teaspoons per day
0-2 years none
As reference, 4 grams of sugar is equal to one teaspoon of sugar.
“Just to highlight that on average kids will probably get 3 Easter eggs.
In our kid’s Easter Basket we do add the dark chocolate Dove Easter Eggs which have less sugar. In 9 eggs there are 13 grams of sugars so that’s 3.25 teaspoons of sugar.
Based on research there are links between kids’ high-sugar diets and problems with sleep, learning and emotional health, not to mention serious conditions like diabetes and fatty liver disease.” (Source: children’s health expert Michael Goran)
1 in 6 kids are obese. As parents we have a responsibility to ensure our children are healthy and learn healthy eating habits. If not, it could be a lifelong struggle for them. Of course having a treat on Easter is a must. Just watch how many treats and remember there is always the next day to have another treat.
Anyway they always say – a moment on the lips, forever on the hips. So try these Easter Treats instead of sweets:
Chanteur Kids is the best kids jewelry company with cute earrings for kids, necklaces, bracelets and more. We love Chanteur because their jewelry is non-toxic and uses no icky materials like heavy metals or carcinogens like cadmium (manufacturers could no longer use lead so they switched to cadmium which is just as dangerous!).
Chanteur has mermaids, unicorns, ballerinas, butterflies, hearts, birthstones, turtles, llamas, and many more cute jewelry for kids.

Does your little girl just love painting those little piggies, but the thought of those chemicals make you think twice? In fact, the inventor of Piggy Paint was painting her little girl’s nails over a Styrofoam plate and the nail polish that dripped on the plate ate a hole right through it! She thought, what is this doing to kids who put their hands in their mouths often? So she invented a non-toxic, natural nail polish for kids called Piggy Paint.
This completely natural and safe nail polish for kids come in fun gift sets. The Piggy Paint Funny Bunny Gift set is an amazing Easter gift for that princess of yours. Comes with:

We love our annual Easter egg hunt. The first thing my son does is look out in the backyard to see if the Easter Bunny has hidden any eggs.
Instead of filling the eggs with candy, we have a prize for finding all the eggs. So there’s a note from the Easter bunny that says something like:
“Hop, hop, hop! I hid a bunch of Easter eggs in your yard while you were sleeping. Hopefully you weren’t peeping!
Find 15 SMALL eggs = PRIZE #1
Find 10 LARGE eggs = PRIZE #2
I left the prizes with your parents to give to you.
Have fun!”
In our family prize one could be an Easter activity book and prize #2 could be a mini Easter Bunny LEGO set.
And we found these eco-friendly Easter eggs that open and close – and love them!
Made from non toxic materials, these eggs are designed with a material completely safe for your child, and you can choose exactly what you want to put in them; healthy candy or prizes. The Eco Friendly Easter eggs securely close, keeping that little secret of who loaded those eggs. Best part is, these eggs can be used all year round.

Aside from fun treats in the Easter basket and egg hunt, remember to get outside and play! Spring weather is so nice after a cold winter — especially where we live in the Northeast.
One more tradition at our home is we love doing an Easter themed scavenger hunt and at the end is an Easter basket that Grammy ships from out of state. I create rhyming clues and it’s super fun. Gets the kids thinking!
Above all, remember the meaning of Easter and make beautiful memories with family and friends.
