For whatever reason, be it food intolerances or just personal preference, more and more people seem to be veering away from the traditional chocolate eggs at Easter. Instead people are opting for a chocolate free Easter. There are so many alternative Easter gifts for kids so it is possible to celebrate without chocolate.
Instead of gifting sweet things, why not try these chocolate free Easter gifts?
An Easter book
A book is a perfect chocolate free Easter gift. There are so many great Easter story books for young children. They’re a particularly great gift for younger kids who perhaps are too young for chocolate.
Lego Set
The perfect chocolate free Easter gift for any Lego fan. My son loves the Lego Brick Headz and we’ve found this cutie on Amazon!
Craft sets
There are so many great craft sets for kids, and there are lots of Easter themed ones on Amazon. For something that can be used all year round though, how about Aquabeads? My youngest two are obsessed with these! Plus with Aquabeads they’re only limited by their own imagination so they can make Easter themed creations if they wish!
Colouring books
Something that will keep the kids entertained over the Easter holidays is always a bonus! Colouring books are always a hit with my youngest too. They don’t need to be Easter themed but this Unicorns Love Easter colouring book looks amazing!
A jigsaw or game
Again any jigsaw or game that keeps the kids entertained is a winner with me. However if you are looking for something with an Easter connection how about Funny Bunny? Suitable from ages 4 and up, can you help the rabbit reach the carrot at the top of the hill?
Treat them to a day out.
The National Trust have some great Easter themed family days out. Spend the day as a family in the outdoors and get back to nature. Spring is the perfect time to explore the many gardens the National Trust has to offer.

Who says Easter is synonymous only with chocolate? I agree with you 100%!
These are all awesome ideas! I know everyone thinks candy when they think Easter, but I think any kid would much prefer a LEGO set or coloring book over candy.
Great ideas! I love the idea to treat them with something different. We have been trying to eat better in my house, so these ideas are great! and they will love them just as much.
Those are innovative ideas but I don’t know how my students would take to them… I’m thinking of doing an Easter treasure hunt so it gets them moving!
Every year I say I’m not adding candy to their baskets and then I fail miserably. This year I’m sticking to it!
These are some great ideas for treating the kids if you need to or want to avoid chocolate! I love the idea of an Easter book, a book is always a good gift!
Super love the gift ideas and yes i am with you regarding avoiding Chocolate. Our kids eat too much sugar.
Nice. I love these gift ideas for Easter. I love that you want it to be chocolate free.
Books are always an excellent gift! You have some great alternatives to giving chocolate for Easter.
I love this blog! Thank you for sharing these fun ideas. I should try this at home.
I usually fill our Easter baskets with small toys and activities, as well! These are some cute ideas!
These are really cute ideas instead of giving candy! I think the lego set will be a hit!
Great set of stuff to consider giving to our kids and kids at heart. I love the Lego bunny thing, it’s so cute and great toy to have.
It is great to have such alternatives. I think nowadays people are too focused on profit to stay positive enough even with religion based holidays.
Those were a really great gift ideas. My kids would be so happy to have this coloring books <3
These are great ideas! I typically do a book and a small lego set in my son’s basket. We’ll also have an outing after church and breakfast. We’ve definitely stopped giving chocolate too. Not sure why but we seem to be following a trend!
Love your ideas here…always nice to switch things up a bit with the easter baskets and I think they would appreciate a toy more anyway!
Oh a book is a great alternative. Kids would be really busy coloring their books all day.
Couldn’t agree more with you on this! These all are wonderful idea apart from candy!
I am taking mine to see Horrible Histories instead of giving them Easter eggs
