EASTER GIFTS FOR KIDS
Add some rainbow cheer to craft time with this handy Carry Caddy. Its fun and colourful arches are easy on the eye, while the smooth wooden handle means it’s a doddle to pick up and carry from room to room, or even outside for arts and crafts in the garden. It has plenty of room for pens, pencils, crayons, and paint brushes, or why not use it as an Easter basket?
Our Tabletop Paper Roll Holder will transform a desk, dining table or coffee table into an instant arts and crafts area. It even provides a space to store crayons and colouring pencils, too. Offering little artists an endless supply of paper, this one will keep them busy doodling throughout the Easter holidays, at weekends, and after school.
Book Cart, Fox and Carry Caddy, Fox – available in other designs
Our Book Carts and Carry Caddies make the best multipurpose Easter gifts for kids! They’ll love to keep their animal companion close by all year round for storing books, toys and stationery. On Easter Sunday fill one with chocolate treats or use one as an Easter basket for an egg hunt. Looking to read some Easter stories with your little ones? Use our Book Carts to display an array of Easter and spring themed books.

Create your own Easter Board Game
Hop to it with our printable Easter game, it’ll be fun for all the family! With the added element of collecting carrots as you move across the board, there’s the chance of multiple winners, which is great if competitive siblings are playing. This Easter activity pack also includes instructions on how to make your own game and a sheet for writing your own rules.
Our printable chick and Easter bunny templates are a fun and simple Easter craft for kids. Dig out some empty toilet rolls and paint to get started. You’ll also need glue and scissors – cutting out the templates will give children the chance to practise those all-important fine motor skills. Make multiple chicks and bunnies to decorate your home for Easter, use them as holders for little chocolate eggs or put on an Easter puppet show with our Sixpence Play Shop & Theatre. You could also make your own shoe box puppet theatre.
