It seems like Christmas is only just over when suddenly Easter eggs go on display in the shops!
I always want to cut down on the number of chocolate eggs arriving in my home, especially as Easter is very close to both my kids birthdays, my birthday and St. Valentine's Day.
Our house isn't a chocolate-free zone at Easter, but I do try and find some ways of reducing the amount of chocolate that my chldren receive.
Think of the effect on their teeth for a start!

So, here are some alternative Easter gift suggestions which are relatively healthy and non-calorific - think eggs, think chicks, think rabbits, think bouncing and energy!!
These ideas would also be brilliant for children who cannot eat chocolate for any reason such as allergies and intolerences.

A Gift of Chickens
A gift of chickens will not only provide a household in one of the world's hardest places with a nutritious diet of eggs and the chicken manure can even be used to fertilize the vegetable garden.
