A Sweet But Sugar Free Easter Basket Idea

It’s less than a week to Easter and the Easter Bunny had not prepared a single basket for our house! Walking down the aisles of our supermarket, he looked high and low at the Easter supplies. Tall baskets, small baskets and decorated baskets too. Then there were rows and rows of sugar marshmallows, jelly beans and coloring books. Then came the pre-made baskets. You know the ones with a few toys and a large selection of sugary candy. This mom, I mean Easter Bunny, was not satisfied. My daughter is spoiled. In April she celebrates Easter 3 times and also has 3 birthday parties. The last thing I want to do is fill her Easter Basket with sugary treats. 

*Dun Dun Du-Dun* VTech to the Rescue! Thanks to their help, I created the coolest Easter Basket ever – and not a single piece of candy is to be had come sunday morning. Maddilyn has been steadily growing her collection of InnoTab Cartridges since we first reviewed the VTech InnoTab 3s. But the addition of the Doc McStuffins Cartridge and the Sofia the First Cartridge are going to make her day. 

Like many little girls her age, she is in love with these two fantastic Disney Characters and I have to say, as a mom I think they’re pretty great too. Both Doc and Sofia offer different teachable moments to young viewers and their games are set up the same say. The Doc McStuffins Cartridge is set inside Doc Clinics where kids can help her work along with Lambie and Stuffy – the Doc is in! With Docs friends kids can play four learning games and three card games. Through the games kids can learn vocabulary, memory, math, and health skills. 

The Sofia the First Cartridge follows Sofia through a day at Royal School. But it’s Jumble day and everything is a mess. It’s the players job to help Princess Sofia through her day by getting her to classes like art, horse riding class and other fun games. There are 7 learning activities that work on colors, shapes, creativity (painting), patterns, and more. You can also ‘read’ the story of how Sofia became a princess.

Like the Cartridges, Maddilyn has also been collecting VTech Switch & Go Dinos. She has had Jagger the T-Rex for quite some time and he is one of her favorite toys to carry along with her. So it’s no surprise that the loves her newest addition, Cruz The Spinosaurus. These fun dinos can race across the floor as a vehicle or a dinosaur, but more than that they also spout interesting dinosaur facts and have fun sound effects. 

 

Like the Dinos, the Go! Go! Smart Wheels ATV is a fun toy for on the go. Each vehicle teaches a different letter ours teaches ‘A’ for ‘ATV’. It also makes fun sounds and sings three songs.
