11 Fun Easter Basket Ideas for Kids

Every year I look forward to putting together 5 Easter baskets for the kids in our family. I make 2 large baskets for my children and 3 additional baskets for my nieces and nephews. Every year I fill the baskets with candy, fruits, toys, games and DVDs. This year is no exception.

For those of you who are looking for basket filler ideas, I’ve got 11 fun Easter Basket Ideas for Kids to share with you.

1. Blowing Bubbles
2. Movie DVD
3. Activity and Coloring Books
4. Children’s Sunglasses
5. Fresh Fruits
6. Chocolate Candy
7. Toothbrush and Toothpaste
8. Art Supplies: Colored Pencils, Markers, Water Paints
9. Welch’s Fruit Rolls and Welch’s Fruit Snacks
10. Juice Boxes
11. Travel-Size Card Games

Every year I buy a few boxes of Welch’s Fruit Snacks and split up the individually wrapped snack packs between the baskets. Welch’s Fruit Snacks contain vitamins A, E, and C. They’re fat-free, gluten-free and contain no preservatives. One of the best things about them is that they are made with real fruit! Each pouch (serving) contains only 80 calories. The kids love the Fruit Punch and Mixed Fruit flavors.

The Welch’s Fruit Rolls are an excellent source of Vitamins A, E and Vitamin C. They’re gluten-free, peanut-free and preservative-free. They’re made with real fruit and each roll contains only 70 calories. The new Berry flavor is a combination of strawberry, blueberry and raspberry flavors. Gotta love that all of the rolls are individually packaged, so you can split them up in the baskets.

Tired of the same old, same old Easter basket? Here’s some ideas on what you can use instead of the basket!

Sand Bucket
Medium to Large Easter Gift Bag
Dump Truck (Boy)
Large Colorful Plastic Bowls
Decorated Photo Storage Boxes
Character Pillowcases Tied with a Bow
Medium to Large Plastic Flower Pot
Decorated Cardboard Box
Insulated Lunch Tote
Canvas Tote Bag

If you want to get the kids in on the action…give them an empty cardboard box to decorate. On Easter Eve they can put their decorated box out on display, so that the Easter Bunny can fill it while they sleep.
