Easter is synonymous with joy, renewal, and... chocolate!
While the allure of chocolate bunnies and eggs is undeniable, this Easter presents an opportunity to gift something even more lasting: the gift of learning.
At Yay4Play, we believe in enriching the minds of young learners through play. Our carefully curated selection of educational toys offers a plethora of benefits, making this Easter not just sweet but smart too!
The Importance of Educational Gifts
In a world where digital screens are increasingly vying for our children's attention, providing them with educational toys as gifts can be a breath of fresh air.
These toys not only entertain but also build foundational skills, encourage problem-solving, and promote creativity. By choosing to give the gift of learning, you're investing in your child's future, one playtime at a time.
So, when you are looking for Easter gift ideas, think beyond the traditional chocolate Easter Bunny! There is so much that is non-chocolate that can make a fabulous gift.
Make Easter Memorable
This Easter, create lasting memories by incorporating educational gifts into your celebrations. Imagine an Easter egg hunt where each find leads to a new learning toy from Yay4Play, or an afternoon spent crafting and building with the whole family.
These moments of joyous discovery not only bring families closer but also build a foundation for lifelong learning.
Here are some ideas for the Easter weekend – with an education twist!
- Creative Crafts for Easter
Easter is the perfect time for crafts, and our Easter Craft Kit is filled with activities that will keep little hands busy and minds active. Open your Yay4Play Ultimate kit and play the games to enhance fine motor skills and encourage artistic expression.
Plus, they're a great way for families to bond over creative projects.
- Storytime with a Twist
Our interactive book sets, like Kito, the Bravest Kitten, merge the magic of storytelling with the excitement of play. Okay - it's not about adorable bunnies! But it does cover marvelous themes of friendship, being kid and collaboration.
These sets are designed to enhance reading skills while also encouraging children to act out stories, fostering both literacy and imaginative play.
When you are ready to wind down a the end of the day, building and using the manipulatives whilst listening to the stories in the book series is a fabulous way of de-compressing.
- Make an Easter basket
Instead of the real chocolates, place some models of special treats all made out of bricks! Use your imagination to create cakes or special treats out of the bricks. It’s a great way to promote creative thinking and think outside the square.
And you don’t even have to deal with a sugar rush….
- Hide Bricks inside and outside
Turn the traditional Easter egg hunt around. Instead of hiding eggs, hide some brick shapes! There could even be some bricks hidden as a perfect gift - but children need to get outside and go find these gifts whilst at the same time using their gross motor skills.
It's a fun activity that is suitable for all ages - including toddlers who will have hours and hours of fun on the hunt for items that they can find.
- Use the bricks and games as Basket Stuffers
If you cannot do without some of those yummy bunny ears, add those to the basket as well as some other activities.
That creates a perfect mix between enjoying an Easter basket of cute bunnies as well as other gift ideas that encourage critical thinking and other executive functioning skills.
It's a great mix of colours and puzzles and games involving shapes.
