Alternative Easter gifts for children

There’s not long left until the Easter holidays now, in some ways it feels like it’s come around really quickly. In other ways, it feels like it’s been forever. I don’t think any of us would have thought we’d have been in lockdown for a full year. I am so grateful the kids are back at school though, it’s given us some much-needed respite from homeschooling and the boy have been so happy to return too.

I have been looking at some alternative gifts for Easter this year, as much as chocolate is a must, its good to have some other gifts that can be used to keep the kids entertained over the holidays.

Here are a few ideas.

Alternative Easter gift ideas for children

Gaming

Mario Kart Live Home Circuit
Nintendo, £99

What kid doesn’t love to play video games? Mario Kart Live Home Circuit allows you to turn your home into a race track so you can create and set up a track wherever you please. You’ll drive the kart in the real world and see the action from its onboard camera displayed on your Nintendo Switch or TV screen. You can also play with friends and family in multiplayer races but each player will need their own Kart, Nintendo Switch console and a copy of the game.
