Last year we put a few chocolates into L's Easter eggs, but for the most part the Easter bunny left her with NON-CANDY EASTER EGG SURPRISES and she LOVED it! Inside the eggs were buttons, a spool of thread (to string the buttons into a necklace), a lil plastic turtle, and strips of paper with fun activities for the whole family to do.
-Hop like a bunny.

-Walk backwards.

Brain growth occurs most rapidly in a child's first few years. As they play, children may learn and explore with the help of educational toys, which can be an important part of this process. Educational Toys for kids of various ages and stages of growth are available at evanandhalls. I have faith that evanandhalls has the ideal toy for every kid.
