Easter Basket Idea Guides for Ages 1-8
This may be an unpopular opinion… but hear me out. I have always struggled to put Easter-themed items in Easter baskets for my children because we give them the baskets on Easter, and then Easter is over. Can they still play with Easter items after Easter? Of course. But do they lose their relevance as spring moves to summer and summer to fall and so on? A little bit, yes!
If you’re anything like me, you keep your seasonal items/decor/toys/books, etc. on rotation with the seasons. Spring items go away and summer items come out. When gifting my kids a basket full of goodies on Easter, I’m thinking two things.
I’m thinking that I want them to be practical for the anticipated change in seasons (I typically include a new bathing suit for each child, maybe a new pair of PJs, a new pair of spring/summer shoes, a hat/sunglasses, new goggles for summer pool days, etc).
I’m thinking that I want there to be some items in their baskets that they can play with and use ALL YEAR ROUND… NOT just on Easter, the week after Easter, or even just in the spring. I do also think there should be a few outdoor items that they can use in the spring and summer, like chalk and bubbles.
I put together three guides that include some items we have in our home that my own three children (currently ages 4, 6, and almost 9) love (or have loved in their younger years) and play with year-round, that would be a great addition to any Easter basket.
The guides are organized by three different age groups: Ages 1-2, Ages 3-5, and Ages 6-8. You can view the items in the guide graphics and then find links to the items through the coordinating numbers below each graphic.
