Here are Some Fun Easter Ideas for Your Little Easter Bunnies!
Updated for 2023!
With Easter right around the corner, it can be challenging to figure out what to get the little ones that they will 1-like, 2-use, and 3-won’t clutter up the house! As a mom of seven, I know the idea of not cluttering was always high on my list!
Here are some of our favorite finds for Easter Baskets this year!
Books
No one can ever have too many books!
Do I need to mention that I LOVE books???
Parenting Pro Tip: When we no longer read or want to hold onto books at our house we donate them to local doctor offices or dentist offices to promote reading. We have been doing this for years after we got the idea when my daughter’s Girl Scout troop started a book collection for this reason!
Treats
Treats are definitely something that will not clutter the house (as long as they actually get eaten)! I’m a big one on healthy treats for the little ones, so I always stock our Easter baskets with healthier treats!
However, you can’t forget the chocolate bunnies! It’s Easer after all!
Cute PJs
What young kid doesn’t love new PJs?!?!?! These are something they will actually use and enjoy!!
We’re partial to fire trucks at our house since my husband is a firefighter!
Additional Goodies They’ll Love
Here are a few more ideas of fun items to add to those Easter baskets!
Sidewalk Chalk
Sidewalk Chalk is one of my favorites! I love that it allows the kids to be creative just about anywhere they choose….and then it washes away with just water!!
This massive package of side-walk chalk looks amazing to me! However, I’m not sure what size Easter basket you might need to fit all of this!?!?!?
Bubbles
You can’t forget about the baskets
You can reuse the baskets next year so they won’t be additional clutter either!
I like using sand buckets because they can be easily reused!
You can even get a little creative with the “basket” idea!!
Use a small backpack for holding their Easter goodies! It will make an adorable Easter “basket” and it will be something they can definitely use again!
(Edible) Easter Grass for those Baskets
Yes! Edible Easter grass! I did this with my kids a couple of years ago and it was a big hit! It’s basically the texture of fruit roll-ups or Air Head Extremes.
I love putting goodie baskets together for any occasion, weddings, birthdays, and other holidays. However, Easter baskets are so fun because they are a reminder to me that Spring is here and summer is on its way!

I Love You To The Moon And Back is one of my favorite books. Nice choice.
That is always such a great book!
These are fun ideas! I just have one grandchild under five years old, and she’s still a baby. I look forward to creating a basket for her this year.
That will be so much fun!
Thank you for making this, with three small kids under the age of 5, it is super difficult to always think of stuff to put in their baskets. This will be a big help!
Great! I’m glad it’s helpful!
Aw, such cute ideas! My kids are way past this stage, and I miss it so much.
Thanks! I enjoy fixing up Easter baskets and finding great goodies for them!
Editable grass! That’s an amazing idea! My grandkids are five and under so these are great ideas. Love the books!
me too!
OMG, edible Easter grass? My kids are in high school and college and I think they’d absolutely love it!
Mine are that age too! I only found it a couple of years ago and they really liked it! It’s definitely something different!
So many cute ideas! My grandson would LOVE that Paw Patrol Basket and the edible Easter grass.
Mine would too!!
Those are some great ideas for littles! My kids are 22, 21, 13, and 11, and they ALL still enjoy the treats and trinkets in their baskets! They usually get filled with chocolate, books or magazines, and maybe something travel related if we are going somewhere in particular.
Exactly! My husband and I are taking two of our preschool-age grandkids to Disney the week after Easter and that’s what their baskets will be this year…things to use while we are at Disney!
Fun ideas! Even masks! 🙂
Thanks! I think so!
I love making Easter baskets. I usually get matching dress shirts for my boys.
That is an amazing idea! I love giving gifts they will actually use
Any child would love any of these suggestions!
Thanks! I think so!
Awe! Love those cute books! You made me want one for myself:)
Fun! Never too old!
I miss doing baskets for my boys. It was always so much fun to shop for all the little gifts going inside.
I still do them for my big kids
I’m actually shopping right now for Easter! LOL! I love the idea of using backpacks as baskets! Although, my kids aren’t back in school yet lol. But I scored some bubbles & books for sure!
I love the backpacks too! I like being able to give gifts that can be used for more than one occasion!
Such cute kiddos! Happy Easter!
Thanks! You too!
I loved getting Easter baskets when I was little!
I think they are great for everyone! I still put them together for my big kids!
Those little backpacks are genius! My kids would get so much use out of those!
I love the backpacks! It’s such a great way to get use out of their “baskets!”
This post has me craving Easter candy haha. Cute ideas!
Thanks!
