It's day 3 of my Easter basket series - today, we're talking all about the kiddos! In the past parts of this series, I've covered Easter ideas for babies and Easter gifts for toddlers. In this post, there's no doubt I switch from more practical ideas to a lot more fun goodies.
No Candy? No Problem.
Look, I know the go-to for an Easter basket is candy. Everybody loves a good chocolate bunny or two. But those are the easy options - everybody knows to pick up a bag of Easter candy for basket fillers!
Today, I wanted to highlight a few of the more outside-the-box (or basket 😉) Easter treats for children. Pick a few of these items, pair them with some plastic eggs filled with your jelly bean of choice, and bam - you've got the perfect fun Easter basket for a kid.
You might choose not to give your kids sweet treats (understandable, they'll already be sugared up without it). The items you'll find in the list below make for great basket stuffers by themselves!
The Secret to making a fun Easter Basket
With the younger kids, you can get away with more useful, everyday items disguised as gifts. However, older kids don't want toothbrushes in their Easter basket. 🙂 My secret to a fun Easter basket is tailoring it to your child's interests. You'll see my ideas categorized by interest below, making for an easy way to pick out items that are just for your child!
I've included a ton of creative ideas for anywhere from preschoolers to older tweens in this post. I was even able to sneak in a few things that might be useful but disguised as fun.
Let's get into it!
