Chocolate and marshmallows are the hallmarks of Easter, but they don't have to dominate lil one's baskets. When tots wake on Sunday morning, surprise them with a few treats that carry on the holiday's egg theme without adding more sugar to their day. Check out five fun picks I've found below.

Lil Gift Guide: Best Gifts For 4-Year-Olds

Lil fans of PBS's Dinosaur Train will love Learning Curve's InterAction Buddy ($15).

by POPSUGAR Moms

Preschoolers have a mind of their own, and 4-year-olds can be pretty outspoken about what they like! Gift them toys that allow them to express their creativity and games that give them a chance to experience winning and losing.

Lil fans of PBS's Dinosaur Train will love Learning Curve's InterAction Buddy ($15). The entire line of characters recognizes each other and can "speak" to each other when nearby. The collaboration between Wild Planet and Crayola has resulted in a fun line of Crayon Town sets ($20) that combine coloring and 3D play, where the actual wax crayons fit into the scenes. Magna Tiles ($52 for 32 piece set) allow tots to build up and out with pieces that feature magnets on every side. Blue Orange's wooden toys not only help the earth (they plant two trees for every toy sold), games like Gobblet Gobblers ($15) help teach memory and strategy skills for lil learners. What's better than a Muppet? A Muppet your tot designed on her own! The Muppet Whatnot Gift Package ($130) allows budding puppeteers to create their own puppet on the computer and then see it come to life when it arrives a few weeks later!

Though retailers are hush-hush about what they are actually ordering, we took a look at what was displayed and are making our predictions as to what will be shelved at popular toy stores.
