[Ad-gifted] My five-year-old daughter Jemma is eggs-tremely excited for Easter. Our spring decorations went up just after Valentine’s Day! So I’m always on the lookout for Easter-themed activities to keep her entertained.
Easter is the perfect time to spark a little extra creativity and joy for kids of all ages. From colourful eggs to sweet treats, it’s a season filled with imagination and what better way to celebrate than with hands-on play? This year, we’ve been exploring fun, engaging toys that bring the magic of Easter right and one standout has been the little tikes Creative Chefs Easter Basket Kit which we were sent. It is a fun playset that provides the sensory and creative benefits of baking, but without the mess!
The set is aimed at children aged 3 and above and the kit includes a pouch of chocolate sand mix, a pouch of yellow marshmallow fluff, an egg carton, chocolate bunny mould, marshmallow chick mould, two Easter eggs, two mini Easter toys, a cup and egg dipper and an Easter basket.
Designed to inspire pretend play and creativity, this charming set lets children craft their own Easter-themed treats and role-play festive kitchen fun. Whether they’re hosting a pretend Easter party or simply enjoying some quiet creative time, it’s a delightful way to keep little hands and minds busy. In this review, we’ll take a closer look at what makes this kit such a lovely addition to your Easter celebrations.
What we thought of the little tikes Creative Chefs Easter Basket Kit
The chocolate sand is used with the bunny mould, and the yellow marshmallow fluff with the chick mould to make pretend Easter treats. It’s a fab sensory experience and Jemma loved feeling the texture of the two very different materials to make the treats. They are both very tactile and she spent quite some time playing with it.
The idea is that it helps to develop your child’s baking skills. It is quite a simple activity, but the fact that there was none of the mess of actual baking meant it was a win for me! And Jemma loved that she could play with it without too much input from me. It’s worth having a play around with it to work out how much needs to go into each mould.
The two cute Easter eggs look adorable in their egg box. Jemma used the egg dipper to lower them into the cup of ice cold water, so that she could see them change colour. I think the key here is ‘ice-cold’ as tap water didn’t really produce much of a colour change. Jemma loved ‘cracking’ the eggs open to find the cute little toys, a spring chick and Easter Bunny.
This is a lovely playset that has kept Jemma entertained and it’s great for a bit of independent play.

I’ve always loved Little Tikes toys they have such a wonderful range. This is adorable and ideal for Easter. This sounds like such a lovely sensory product and a wonderful chocolate alternative to gift to my nephew this Easter.
Yes this kit is perfect for Easter, you can still make the chocolate using the mould or omit it. But watching the eggs hatch was super fun!
What a fabulous gift this basket is! I mean, I already know so many kids that would enjoy it. Thank you thank you!
You are so welcome and yes a fab activity to do with kids to the lead up to Easter

The color-changing eggs sound so exciting! Kids would enjoy discovering surprises while playing and exploring this cute set.
Absolutely, something as small as that makes the eggs feel so special
This is awesome. I’m pretty sure my little girl would love this too. I’m not sure if we have something like this locally, but I’ll try to look for one in time for Easter. It would be such a fun activity for her.
