Easter treats!

Chocolate eggs are sort of obligatory in most homes at Easter – but they won’t keep your child busy for long! Why not ring the changes and opt for a book which will sustain your child for much longer and offer some learning fun along the way? If you’re very brave, you could drop the egg and simply present the book. Or go for a little egg? Your call!
