Did you know that Easter is only a few days away? Crazy, right? Well don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with Easter Basket filler ideas. I know that the big stores have all those convenient, cheap Easter themed toys and a couple of those are fine but I prefer to get things that aren’t going to get trashed in a couple of days. I also tend to stay away from candy.
Being that I’m the mom of boys we’re first sharing a list of boys items.
1. Bubbles
2. Hot Wheels/Planes
3. Crayons/coloring books
4. Books: dollar store, target dollar spot and thrift stores are excellent budget friendly places to get them.
5. Play Doh
6. Reusable Water Bottle
7. Bath/water toys
8. Swim trunks
9. Character socks
10. Sandals
11. Chalk
12. Kite
13. Clothes: If you go this route be sure to get something they would appreciate like a character shirt!
14. Baseball hat
15. Flashlight
16. Character band-aids (really anything with a character my kids love, they’ll love it)
17. Toothbrush
18. Action figure/dinosaur
19. Puzzle
20. Glow sticks
21. Reusable punching balloons- I found these at Fry’s
22. Foam Glider Plane
23. Stickers
24. Temporary tattoos
A couple of small treats are added as well, Mini M&M’s, raisins, and fruit snacks are always a hit with my kids. The Easter Bunny usually brings an outfit for the day and an outdoor toy or two! This year the boys will be getting mini golf sets and a soccer ball.
Hopefully you gained some Easter basket inspiration. Be sure to come back this afternoon to check out our list for the little girls in your life!
