Puffy Sticker Activity Book: With so many themes to choose from, you’re sure to find one your child will love. The puffy stickers in these activity books can be used over and over again, well past Easter and even spring.

Animal Erasers: These tiny animal erasers fit easily into most Easter eggs for a fun alternative to candy. Kids will love assembling the pieces to make each animal, and they can also use them to erase. But most of all they will love collecting and playing with these tiny rubbery animals in a variety of ways.
