If you’re trying to build the best Easter basket for your little ones don’t fret! I’ve put together this guide on full of basket fillers that will make Easter a holiday to treasure forever.
Unique Grass Replacements:
First, get creative with your Easter grass! Traditional practice grass always felt like such a waste so I prefer to use something that has more uses besides just stuffing the base of the basket. Here’s what to use instead:
Real plants
Books:
Books are always a must for me to include. Not only does my son love to read, but there’s so many books that fit the theme of Easter and spring, plus they are so easy to fit in a basket! Here’s a list of books to include in your basket this year:
Spring/Easter Themed Fillers:
Another fun idea is to stick with the Easter and springtime theme and fill your basket with items that play into it. Examples of this are:
Easter Eggs With Animals (Use code SIDNEY for 10% off!)
Things They Need:
If you’re worried about spending tons of money but still what to fill their basket, this is a great time to fill it with items you’ll have to spend money on anyways!
New Clothes
Bathing suit for summer:
I just purchased this cute swimsuit for my son to use this summer to include in his Easter basket!
Sunscreen:
Check out my favorite organic mineral sunscreens: earth mama organics mineral sunscreen and mad hippie luminizing sunscreen (it literally leaves you sparkling).
Socks
Shoes
Lotion:

Fun Utensils/Dishware:
Some great examples of this are this super fun construction plate and utensil set or a new fun easter themed cup for them to drink out of!!
Other Fun Items To Add To The Basket:
Wooden Toys:
I filled my sons basket with wooden eggs, wooden rainbows, and wooden animals! All amazing things to pull out of an Easter basket!
Play Mats:
Bigger mats will be too big but throwing in a mini playsilk play mat is a fun item that won’t take up much space!
Stuffed Animals or Puppets:
What kid doesn’t love cute stuffies??? Pick up a bunny stuffy or a chick! If you’re over the plain old stuffies cluttering your house check out some cute puppets to add variety but hit the same cute fuzzy toy desire your kids have. Tara’s Treasures has tons of cute felt finger puppet options like these Australian animal ones!
Small World Play Items:
We went with mini fairy garden accessories and this wooden forest!
Whatever you guys end up going with, I hope you have a very happy Easter!!
