Somehow Easter is less than a month away, and we can’t figure out how that happened. After all, yesterday was Jan. 1, and it is still snowing in some parts of the country. While we try to figure out this time warp and keep our fingers crossed for a sunny celebration, we find ourselves deep in the thick of shopping for basket stuffers. There are so many (read: too many) toys and treats out there for kids, so instead of honing our egg-hunting skills, we’ve been searching for the best screen-free stuffers that go beyond the candy aisle. Best of all: They’re all under $20!

We are jumping for joy after finding this adorable and interactive “board” game, Jumping Jack. Think of it as a multi-player version of Jack-in-the-Box with an Easter twist. Players spin the dial to see how many carrots they must harvest from Jack’s hill. One of the veggies will make him jump, and then it’s time to act fast. Whoever catches Jack, wins!
