thankfully my kids dont have allergies but when my eldest was little she could not have chocolate. If she ate chocolate it would go straight through her system almost instantly and she would end up with super bad nappy rash that was bleeding. it was insane. She could have white chocolate though so when Easter came i hunted everywhere for a white chocolate egg or bunny and couldnt find any. Now there is a least that option.

Some really great ideas there, cheers.

I bought a stock of diary free Easter eggs by the health food store and make regularly raw diary free chocolate myself. You can also buy diary free chocolate at the supermarket. Sweet William has a diary free, nut free, gluten free naturally sweetened bar abd Coles sells also a raw organic handmade bar called “Pana Chocolate”. Also LovingEarth sells diary free chocolate https://lovingearth.net/our-products/chocolate-15.html

Kinnerton also sell dairy free easter eggs, found them at Woolworths.

I love the PJ idea because not only can it be for Easter but it’s something that will last for a while until they grow out of them.

toys are a great substitute for sure. there are many great ideas

They azing will definitely try this weekend

Such great ideas! I even like them for my kids who don’t have allergies!

Ah, thanks for teh ideas. Wish that I’d seen this earlier.

Carob – and a box full of games for all the family to join in.

my friend makes her own chockies as her son has heaps of allergies, she made elephants and lego shapes. There is always a good recipe to find if you really want it

Some really great ideas here-not just for the dairy free but for the chocolate non-lover! (I know, hard to believe but I have a niece who does not like chocolate)

For dairy intolerant, I would simply buy presents. It doesn’t have to all be about the chocolate. My kids loved their presents

These are the best idea! I especially love the tackle box full of goodies!

With so many differing dietary requirements around today, it’s wonderful to see different options available for everyone

Friends of ours had a rabbit mould and used to make some out of marshmallow every year, and sprinkle enough coconut on the base of whatever they put on it prevent it from sticking. They used green sprinkles as grass.

  Mum use to make them for us each year a big one with two little ones next to it. My sisters one year ate the middle out of theirs, so it looked like that had only eaten the little ones. Instead they put the little ones inside the hollowed out big one. Just had to be careful with one movement they collapsed.

Personally I don’t understand the desire from parents to “treat” their kids on chocolate and lollies with easter or in general. The fact that children associate a “treat” with chocolate, cookies, icecream or lolies is because we created it this way and brought it with this extra excitement. Imagine we can create this same excitement over a banana, apple or whatever.
This doesn’t mean I dn’t give my kids chocolate, but we make it ourselves with pure and raw ingredients. There’s no need for diary in chocolate at all. When we make chocolate we never ever add diary to it.

Love it. With young twins I don’t want them having much chocolate yet (will have a few eggs though), but we have bought them some cute outfits and a wooden jigsaw puzzle instead

I like having those alternative ideas for when you know your children don’t need that extra bit of sugar high from the chocolate

Love all of the Easter gift ideas in the photos – fun ideas.
