The 8 Best Easter Gifts to Buy for Kids in 2019

These eggs aren’t for eating, but they will crack little ones up and teach them a thing or two as well. The plastic set comes with six eggs in a cute, bright egg carton. Each one is decorated with a unique fun face and cracks open to reveal a brightly colored, matching chick inside. Press down on a chick’s head, and the sweet chirping begins. No batteries are necessary.

Recommended for ages six months and up, they're great for babies and toddlers and are a fun foray into teaching colors, counting and more.

For the grade school crowd, it’s hard to go wrong with Legos, especially when they let you build this adorable, yellow chick. With more than 110 pieces in all, building it is a great way to burn off some of that jelly-bean-fueled energy.

With a rotating head and body as well as movable wings and toes, it’s a lot of fun to play with too once the chick is built. The pieces are, of course, compatible with all other Lego sets as well, so who knows what kind of adventures they can create for this crazy chick. This set is recommended for ages seven and up.

To sneak in a bit of learning in the basket, there’s this Bunny Hop memory game. The goal is to collect one bunny in each of the four colors (there are 20 plastic bunnies in all — five each in red, blue, yellow and green) first. Players do this by rolling a die and pressing a bunny in a matching color, hoping to find a “hopper.” If the bunny hops out of its hole, the player gets to keep it.

The award-winning game teaches kids color recognition and memory skills, but, mostly it’s just a whole lot of fun. The recommended age is three to six years, but it’s a lot of fun for the whole family to hop into together.

Soft and sweet, a plush bunny is an Easter gift any child will treasure all year long. These bunnies from Pottery Barn are adorable, with long, floppy ears and a ribbon tied around the bunny’s neck. The bunny comes in three sizes with the small bunny being recommended for all ages, while the medium and jumbo bunnies are recommended for ages two and up. You can even have the ribbon monogrammed with the child’s initials on the jumbo bunny for an extra special touch (and an extra charge, of course).

From naptime to imaginary play, these bunnies are sure to be well loved over the years. They make a perfect gift from grandparents who want to spoil their own little bunnies.

For older kids, this Bunny Kingdom strategy game is full of serious bunny fun. It’s all about building the best kingdom for your clan of plastic bunnies.

This bunny-themed card game is designed for kids ages 14 and up and can be played by two or four players at a time. It’s fun, challenging and is sure to get pulled from the game shelf often for year-round fun.

They’re recommended for kids ages five and up. While the slime is safe and nontoxic, you still don’t want little ones to eat it.
