I don’t know about you but I am always looking for some non-candy Easter gift ideas to complement the eggs I hide around the house. Ravensburger toys check all the boxes to keep my kids entertained with puzzles, toys, and train tracks.

Let’s not sugar coat things, this last year has been hard. We’ve been home with the kids for over a year now and although it can get a bit much we’ve really enjoyed watching our kids grow. My kids are 6-12 and in normal times we would not get to spend this much time with them as we have and all of our relationships have improved. I’ve watched the older kids really step up with the younger ones and our little squad actually likes to hang out together still. So check out some of the toys we’ve been loving and stick around to the end of the post where you can win a bundle yourself (thanks Ravensburger!}.

Find all of these great non-candy Easter Gift Ideas in our Amazon Store!

BRIO has this beautiful wooden railway starter set with an additional battery-operated steaming train. The railway set is so wonderful to allow kids to change things up and use their imagination to create tracks and stories. Add in that train that makes visible steam from its chimney and you’re guaranteeing hours of fun. I also love that these sets seem to last forever because their wooden and can withstand many children and years. You can purchase the BRIO items at specialty toy stores and this particular train and railway starter set here.

Puzzles have always been something my children have enjoyed but over the pandemic, puzzles became almost like an escape. Ravensburger Children’s Puzzles (MSRP $17.99 – $18.99, Ages: 3+) offer so much variety with kids’ (and adults) skills and age groups in mind. These bright, bold, colourful designs feature animals, aquatic life, trucks, space, dinosaurs and much more. I love how my kids grab a puzzle and quietly spend some time figuring it out. It’s so satisfying to see it come together and there’s a special kind of happiness when that happens. You can purchase Ravensburger puzzles here.

My kids love the GraviTrax PRO: Starter Set (MSRP $99.99, Ages: 8-12). It’s a really well-known modular marble run track. This allows kids to use magnetism and gravity as they design and build a vertical track. My four have a system in place where the older kids do the building of the tracks and the smaller kids run the races which seems to be working very well.

HIGHLIGHTS
• Fosters STEM learning
• Develops problem-solving and critical thinking
• Encourages creativity and experimentation
• Build higher tracks much faster
• Incorporate new elements into your marble runs
• Compatible with all GraviTrax sets

You can find GraviTrax at Mastermind Toys, Toys R Us, Indigo and Amazon.
