Educational Easter-Themed Toys from HearthSong

Easter is on its way. And rather than just give kids candy, I love it when I see my friends posting baskets full of educational toys that help nurture happy, imaginative children.

Do you do Easter? If so, do you create an Easter basket full of goodies? Maybe you need some ideas. Below are some lovely Easter-themed toys I found over at HearthSong. (But really, they can be enjoyed year round!)

Plush Bunny Portable Play Set (Ages 3 and up)


These adorable plush bunnies will hip, hip, hop all the way home to their soft carrot cottage. Plush Bunny Portable Play Set is large enough (19"L) to hold its two sweet and soft bunny residents comfortably, and can easily be carried along to a friend's house for imaginative play. The bright orange carrot cottage features two windows for bunnies to peek out from, a swinging door that sticks shut, adorable embroidered flowers, and a soft green carrot top. Two 5¼"L sweet bunnies are ready to hop into whatever adventure awaits.




ChalkScapes Mandalas Sidewalk Stencils Chalk Art Kit - Butterfly (Ages 5 and up)


Invite outdoor, creative fun for young artists with Chalkscapes® Mandalas Sidewalk Stencils Chalk Art Kit! This award-winning set of two easy-to-use, artistically adaptable stencils and cosmically colored chalks allows creative kids to turn sidewalks and driveways into colorful art exhibits (bonus—use indoors on our Roll-Up Chalk Mat, 732991, sold separately). Trace the stencil as a unit, mark it into mix-and-match quadrants, or use the fun motifs separately—the options are limitless.

Set includes 24 stick chalks in assorted bright colors, six jumbo chalks, two chalk holders and a set of two 22½" diam. mandala stencils (with butterfly and flower designs, or stars and geometric designs—you choose). Cleans easily with water—just hose off!

Fun for one or for many kids. A great way to engage kids in imaginative and creative play for play dates or parties, and also makes a great addition to a homeschool group or classroom. Create drawings that represent an entire garden or bouquets of single flowers, or a galaxy of stars!




EggMazing Dino Egg Decorator Kit (Ages 3 and up)


Easily adapted for making cascarones!!

Combining a love for dinosaurs and crafts, the EggMazing Dino Egg Decorator Kit offers a new spin on Easter-egg decorating! This dino-themed egg lathe holds a "cracked" dinosaur egg (two included), and kids hold one of eight food-safe markers against the egg as it spins. Once you start decorating your egg, the cracks are "eggsposed!" Inside the egg, you'll find a mystery dinosaur and SLIME (who doesn't love a little slime with their Easter egg?) The included dinosaur has interchangeable head and limbs, so order multiple sets for more creative fun.

Can also be used with hard-boiled or plastic eggs. Four AA batteries required, not included.

Bunny Nesting Set (Ages 3 and up)

This engaging wooden nesting toy makes a great gift for kids who want to join their families in celebrating the spring seasons and the holidays that come with them. Meticulously detailed on both front and back with original designs, the set of three bunnies un-nests to reveal a tiny painted egg at its core. This sensory set helps kids improve motor skills and practice counting. Its small size (largest bunny is 5½"H) makes this a perfectly portable toy for long car rides.

Like a classic Russian nesting doll set, this pastel-themed wooden set also makes a beautiful addition to any room when not in play. Makes a great Easter basket stuffer or birthday gift.
