March 28, 2023

Easter is quickly approaching, an exciting holiday for kiddos and a relaxing long-weekend for parents.

At the end of all the festivities though, is the inevitable sugar crash that comes from a day of egg hunts and chocolate-eating. While we’re not saying you should cut sugar out of your Easter celebrations entirely – you do you – alternative Easter gifts are an easy way to take the focus off the candy and put it onto something more productive and all-around beneficial for your little ones.

Not only are books sugar-free, but they’re also:

Great for developing young minds
Relatively affordable
The perfect form of entertainment now, and for hours on end
