Looking for some baby and toddler Easter basket ideas?!? I got you!! I’ll keep this short and sweet…with a surprise treat at the end!
First Up: Easter Basket for a baby. My little guy was just 3 months old for his first Easter! Did he have any idea what was in his Easter basket? Absolutely not! But I sure had fun making it 🙂
I found this adorable green and burlap Easter basket at Hobby Lobby to start with. Somehow or another he didn’t have “Pat the Bunny” so that seemed like must for his first Easter! As did his Eyore lovey to pair with the Pooh lovey he already had! Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find these anymore (we have Pooh, Piglet, Eyore, and Tigger) but initially I found them on Amazon! And in keeping with my classical Winnie the Pooh theme, I bought the Pooh ABC book off Amazon – they have numbers and colors as well! And of course, I had to throw some of our favorite Kate Quinn in there!!
Alright – basket number 2 – he was about 15 months for this one! TJ Maxx and Marshall’s are my go stops for board books, and they never fail on the Touch and Feel books! So Touch and Feel Farm and Baby Animals were so perfect for this stage! Not too long before Easter I shopped an Usborne Books party through a friend and got hooked on the “That’s not my…” series. I got a super discounted book from that order, so I decided to save “That’s not my Koala” for his Easter basket! The Pooh dish set was just too much to resist from Marshall’s, and then Easter goldfish and more Kate Quinn were just a must!
Basket Number 3 – for my 2 year old! If you have a little boy, do you have the Little Blue Truck books? If you don’t, you need to! They are some of our favorites here! When I found Little Blue Trucks Springtime (at TJ Maxx of course) I knew I HAD to have that for his Easter basket. So in keeping with theme…I added in another Usborne “That’s not my Tractor” (tip: for two years now I’ve hosted an Usborne party before Christmas and with my free party books I’ve used them as Christmas and Easter gifts! Free and fabulous!) as well as some Kate Quinn tractors! Plus, more goldfish (duh), bubble wands, egg chalk, and candy!
Next up – my first year doing TWO Easter baskets, as little brother entered the picture!
So first, we have the basket for my 3 year old. I went Farm theme this year since he’s obsessed with tractors! Once again from my Christmas Usborne Party, I snagged some “extra” books as my freebies and stashed them away for later. So all farm themed we have a “199 Things on the Farm,” a Farm sticker book, and a Farm I Spy type book. Of course accompanied by Reese’s Eggs and Easter Goldfish. And then I also added a spray bottle and some sunglasses, both from the Dollar Tree, as well as more bubble wands, to get us ready for outdoor play!
And now let’s take a look at little brother’s Easter Basket, who was about 8 months old! Puffs – duh! Plus more Paci’s (exciting and also very useful for this one!) and some new bath toys. Then I rounded this basket off with more Usborne books from my Christmas Part stash – I had ordered some Springtime books, which were the perfect addition to this basket!
Now, I know this is not Easter basket related…but it is Toddler related…so hear me out! These “peep kabobs” are always a hit (to assemble and eat!) for our Easter festivities!
They are as simple as they look – fruit and marshmallow peeps on a kabob stick!
