Why is it that when it comes to Easter baskets the only things that come to mind are candy?! Probably because I love candy! But really…why does an Easter basket have to contain candy?! I usually try to refrain from adding any candy to my kids’ easter baskets (for now…).To fill up their baskets, I usually stroll down the dollar aisle at Target and hit up the Dollar sore, as well as pick up one or two gifts that are bigger. “Treat” doesn’t always mean candy!!
We have created baskets for both an infant and a toddler that contain absolutely no candy!!
Infant
(Pictured above)
Glow Cuddles Bunny
Easter Teethers
Elephant Rattle
Stacking Toy
Guess How Much I Love You
Vintage Toys (Love this phone!)
These Sassy teethers are perfectly themed for your baby’s Easter basket! Pastel colored spring shapes such as bunnies, eggs and a chick are adorable for your little one’s first Easter! Plus, Don’t Miss the Glow Cuddles Bunny from cloudB (makers of the Twilight & Tranquil Turtles)! This super soft bunny has a special glow when you hug him! Vibration in either heartbeat mode or continuous makes this a cuddly snuggle friend for your baby.
Toddler/Youth
Bunny Popper
Bathtub Finger Paint
Puzzles
Coloring Books
Books (Peter Rabbit & Peter Cottontail)
We LOVE this bunny popper! Hours of fun are to be had with this guy. He comes with several colored foam balls that pop out when you squeeze the bunny! These balls launch pretty far and are the perfect replacement for those chocolate bunnies!
Want to be free from that obnoxious Easter “grass” too? We recommend using a new bathing suit or towel as your basket bedding!
