What’s fun for some moms can be downright stressful for others — and that goes double for planning your Easter basket. Of course, there are always bunnies; bunny ears, bunny stuffed animals, and even the classic chocolate bunny are all great places to start. But what if your kids aren't interested in rabbits? Or you’re stuck on ideas outside of our furry little friends? Well, have no fear, because we’ve got your back. We’ve found 10 truly egg-cellent Easter basket ideas that range from classic basket treats to new ideas that you might have missed. Take a look at our list and see what amazing Easter items should be added to your list!
1. Kinetic Sand Egg Carton
$24.99
from
Such a great alternative to the regular run-of-the mill Easter eggs filled with candy or toys! The editors at The Toy Insider love these fun-filled eggs — and so do we. The carton of 20 eggs filled with squishy, tactile, kinetic sand. This set of eggs will keep your kiddos building and experimenting for hours.
2. LeapFrog® LeapLand Adventures™
Now even the younger kids can join in on the video game fun — but this one is totally appropriate for learning minds. Connecting it is a breeze with an included HDMI game stick that you just plug into your TV (so easy for tech-challenged parents like me). Kids can go on a video game adventure while learning letters, shapes, numbers, and colors.
3. It’s Not Easy Being a Bunny
A perfect book for a beginner reader, It’s Not Easy Being a Bunny is a good choice for kids just learning to sound out words. Read it together with your child or let them show off their reading skills all by themselves.
4. LEGO Easter Chick
Is there ever a wrong time for a LEGO kit? Well, this chick isn’t just for show. In fact, this little guy can rotate its head, body, and has movable wings and toes. Best for kids ages 7 and up, this gift is so sweet.
5. Hide & Squeak Eggs
It can be the most difficult to shop for infants and toddlers, but these Hide & Squeak Eggs will provide hours of fun for kids ages 18 months and up. All kids need to do is crack open the eggs to reveal some sweet little chicks inside. Squeak, squeak!
6. Easter Egg Slime
Slime is a beloved trend that is here to stay. Break your egg apart to get to the gooey slime inside filled with either a toy rabbit or a chick. Each pack contains three eggs, which means you break packs up for multiple gifts, or give it to a kid who really loves slime.
7. Would You Rather?
Looking for an activity for after Easter brunch? In this case, a book can help. This activity book is perfect for families looking for something to do together. Each page asks hilarious Would You Rather? questions that you can take turns asking.
8. Bunny Farts
By its name alone, this is the best (and funniest) Easter basket stuffer. Bunny Farts (aka Cotton Candy) will bring a smile to any kid's face — and hopefully it won’t get too messy all over everything else.
9. UNO Minecraft
Gamer kids will love this basket stuffer, but parents will love it because it gets them away from a screen. UNO gets a cool new twist with this special Minecraft version of the game, and it’s fun for the whole family too.
10. Drops Harli Hops by Gund
This adorable plush bunny is small enough for any basket (6 inches), but it's huge in whimsy and personality. We love how soft and bright Harli Hops is.
11. Delysia Painted Chocolate Eggs
What's better than decorating Easter eggs? Decorating chocolate Easter eggs you can eat afterward. This six-pack of chocolate eggs look like real eggs but are made from delicious chocolate. They can be drawn on with the included chocolate ink pens. We don't anticipate there will be much clean up with this yummy craft.
