Looking for something different for Easter baskets this year? Here are some great non-candy Easter basket items to try.
Mom Tip:
- Before you start shopping, pick a theme! It could be your kid's favorite sport, color, hobby they want to try, or even spring or summer-related items. Then, create a basket around that theme!
- Consider creating a scavenger hunt Easter basket. Attach a note to their empty basket, and have them solve clues to find the missing Easter basket items. This is especially enjoyable for older kids who might think they've outgrown traditional Easter baskets.
