Looking for a non-chocolate treat for the kids this Easter?
If your kids are anything like mine, they’ll already be looking forward to their annual Easter egg hunt, enthusiastically heading outside with their bunny ears in place ready to track down eggs that have been strategically hidden around the garden, before cracking them open to reveal some sweet treats hidden inside. It’s lots of fun and the girls always have a great time, but in most cases, it’s all over very quickly with the chocolate ripped open and consumed within minutes.
If you’re looking for something a little different this Easter; why not hide some themed Easter Yoto cards in your eggs instead?
Yoto has released some brand new Yoto cards this Easter, that can easily bring screen-free fun for the Easter holidays – something that’ll be enjoyed long after those chocolate eggs have been consumed!
We’ve been lucky enough to have a sneak peek of the brand-new Yoto titles and with some much-loved characters making a long awaited appearance, there’s plenty of choice for Easter-themed Yoto fun.

How to make your own Yoto Easter Hunt
Want to host your own Easter Egg Hunt this year? You’ll need a good selection of eggs, gift boxes or Easter-themed gift bags in which to hide your Yoto cards. Don’t forget Yoto card dimensions are around the size of a credit card (15.5 x 10.1 x 1.3cm) or about a cm bigger if you wish to keep them inside their original packaging.
As such, you need to use rather large eggs in order for them to fit. We got our giant egg tins and egg boxes from Flying Tiger, but their sheep drawstring bags also worked really well too.
However you choose to celebrate, we wish you all a happy and healthy Easter!
