We didn't celebrate Easter with DS last year, but we will this year (he's nearly 2 now). I don't believe in making it and expensive occasion, all about presents and chocolate, but it should be a special time to celebrate. I have found DS a gorgeous wire egg cup with feet. I also saw silicone-type ones that look like the bottom half of little chicks. I'd like to do an easter egg hunt, probably with those plastic openable eggs (which I'll put little chicks, Easter pictures, stickers and MAYBE a small chocolate egg or two inside). I've seen heaps of gorgeous little easter baskets that would be great to put the egg hunt goodies in. We've also asked our extended family to forgo the chocolate... my mum is going to bake bikkies with him and has also bought a couple of toy cars which she'll put inside a couple of those pavlova eggs she's kept. Boiled eggs are a favourite atm, so we'll probably decorate/colour a few and have a boiled egg easter breakfast. Also, we'll do some other easter craft - maybe an easter bonnet or an easter basket (made out of cardboard that he can colour, add stickers and then fold up).

While hunting around for alternative easter things, I also saw dinosaur eggs and egg fossil things - the National Geographic shop was great, probably for older toddlers and children though.
