There’s an Elf on the Shelf for Easter and it is just the cutest thing ever

It feels like it hasn't been quite long enough since Santa's 'helper' spy, the Elf on the Shelf, has been packed away.

And it definitely seems to be far too soon to be talking about an Easter alternative - yet, these are just too cute not too. The maker of Peeps, those brightly-coloured chick-shaped marshmallows, have come up with a new festive friend for your little one: the Peep on a Perch. The book and pushed boxed set tells the how the Easter Peep assists the Easter Bunny every year. The adorable Easter Peep helps decorate eggs and fill baskets, and sees all the acts of kindness a child does in the days and weeks leading up to Easter. Much like the Elf on the Shelf does around Christmas time, the soft plush Easter Peep included in the set can be perched anywhere throughout the home. Children will be proud to have the Easter Peep watch them being good all day as they get ready for bed without making a fuss, help out around the house, and use good manners. And the more kindness the Easter Peep sees, the happier the Easter Peep gets. Peep on a Perch is available from Amazon for just under €20 (around £16.68). You can find out more information here.
