In my Hoppy Easter Décor post, I mentioned that I might need to follow up with an Easter basket filler post and so, here it is! Really it is my chance to live virtually vicariously through others as I am not creating Easter baskets for my 17 and 21-year-old kiddos. I only quit a few years ago, and I am sure that I will still get them a little something just for fun as well as the toothpaste and replacement heads for their Sonicare toothbrushes
The recipe for a great Easter basket certainly includes some candy but the things that my kids ultimately enjoyed the most were the other items like books, crafts, and small toys. Here are some of my favorites that you might want to get ordered ASAP to fill some fun baskets for your kids.
It did not fit into one of the categories, but I also highly recommend that you get your kids Sonicare toothbrushes which will more than pay for itself with fewer cavities!
Science Experience
We have experimented with each of these kits and I highly recommend all of them. These are also my go-to birthday present gifts and I always hear back how much the entire family enjoyed them! I think that I am going to order the Butterfly Garden right now for my Easter present – it is seriously just so fun to watch this process.
Arts & Crafts
Fun things for the kids to do means for personal time for you! I am really tempted to get the Spirograph for myself – loved this when I was younger!
Books
Amazon has some great recommendations by age HERE and below are a few of my personal favorites for various ages.
Stuffed animals
One of these things is not like the others! If your kid has a favorite animal just do a google shopping search on stuffed animal XXX (fill in the blank) and you will get soooo many suggestions.
