Easter ideas without chocolate or sugar?

What about a no-bake ball with nut butter and oats (and whatever else he likes) shaped like an egg instead of a ball?
We do an egg hunt with plastic eggs with stickers inside. Use balloons as markers for where the eggs are. Then for a gift, we fill new rain boots (instead of doing a basket) with bubble wands, pinwheels, etc. We also decorate hard boiled eggs with markers and don’t eat them lol and then I make hot cross buns!
We put a few of the baby puffs in eggs for the kids' first Easters. As they gotten older I've used Annie's bunny cookies and their bunny cheese crackers. I've also used cheese puffs. I usually put about 3 per egg, so overall, it's not too many.
I got my girl some Schleich animals I ordered online. Farm ones including rabbits lol. I have some plastic eggs to stuff so I’m putting some reduced sugar gummies in them and some crackers for her to open on Easter. She got a little basket last year.
I would like my daughter to have some play animals as she doesn’t have any. We have been trying to use these holidays as opportunities to invest in decent toys for her that are open ended Eg. Magnetites, wood blocks, Lego and now play animals.
I would just hide empty plastic eggs and then have the basket with some treats like an Easter themed book, bubbles, some farm animals etc hidden at the end.
In Germany we dye real hard boiled eggs. My toddler loved dying and eating them with us. But we also hid chocolate treats. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Metma-B004-Colours-Tablets-Multicoloured/dp/B08Q3VKTCV/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?crid=2YUCPB1FHSFAG&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.VmWgjgzy_IAa01EBdI7GcwH5GUbYYH8uK8Z2EIcNNgekNLb3MlHpq8hJIdS5aV0HTEx-Rrcd0QVOhNsAcebLzpWjqVrFxHCZnRWaeYwjlAQ.HCxIDfMTDbm-jY4lTfiW9UvvUF7AkA9XtVKdD3Iyatk&dib_tag=se&keywords=ostereier+farbe&qid=1742020159&sprefix=ostereier+farbe%2Caps%2C91&sr=8-5
Sugar free Jello , cute little fruit pies 🥧 or tarts, or fruit juice popsicles or flavored popcorn 🍿
Bubbles, wellie boots, teddy, stickers
Love some of these ideas thanks As for the no-chocolate shaming, er, it's our kid we get to decide jointly. I'm not shaming how you celebrate Easter, and he literally will not suffer for not getting something he doesn't know about. Let's see you try to brush his teeth !
One year my parents put puzzle pieces in plastic eggs when we were 8 and 10. It gave us an activity to do on Sunday afternoon after lunch!
Animal crackers are always a win, maybe some gold fish too. My girl loves stickers so I'm going that route.
Yeh that is young IMO, he’ll be bouncing off the walls, you’ll regret it haha. M&S do eggs that you can fill yourself so you could decorate them and fill with whatever you like
This might be lame, but we don’t fill the plastic eggs. We hide them and let her find them and then do it a few more times (until she decides it’s not fun anymore). She doesn’t even know there should be anything inside!
My daughter is getting bubbles, a new bathing suit, a beach towel, bath toys, some spring/easter books and some homemade toddler trail mix. We are going to use some homemade granola, dehydrated strawberries and yogurt melts.
