OOoo, posh wooden ones. Maybe i'll be in time for next year! I've never used a pavlova pre-mix before, but i should ask around.
I went to local Woolworths and believe it or not they had a set of plastic ones. DH had never heard of them either. (Daft foreigners).
He did say Oh, poor kids, are they going to be allowed any chocolate, or are you taking all their fun away!
Balloons, bubbles, stickers, bikkies, maybe a toy. I think they will be having a pretty good easter this year, and i don't have to take their chocolate away from them and ration it out. They're too young to have THAT much self control! Pretty sure thay get that from their mum.
My first Easter with an allergy child as well. I have sourced rice milk (no nut, soy, dairy or egg) easter chocolates from my local absolutely gluten free shop. So I will put an egg in a bulldogs mug for him.
A friend got me onto those plastic eggs, they look fantastic! I will fill them up with his rice chocolate eggs as they don't come wrapped.
Otherwise, you could get egg dying/decorating kits.
My Mum used to always give us Pj's at Easter, or some slippers
For food ideas check out quirky cooking, it's a blog and the lady who's it is has similar allergies in her family. She uses a thermomix but you can make some stuff normally.
Can they eat cocoa? Or are you avoiding chocolate because it is usually made from soy or dairy?
If cocoa is ok, you can buy chocolates made from rice milk- a brand called Bonvita. They usually make little theme packs for Easter and Xmas. They are available from several online stores. Let me know if you are interested and I can give you the names of the stores.
I'm going to make our own chocolates as we don't have dairy, soy, grains, additives or sugar. I've got an easter chocolate mold and will be making the chocolate from a recipe I have that uses cocoa butter, cocoa and honey. You can skip the cocoa too and make it white chocolate if you want. Let me know if you want the link.
For plastic eggs- stickers, wind-up toys, small crayons.
