Easter baskets are one of my favorite traditions as a mom. There’s something magical about watching little ones wake up on Easter morning and discover surprises from the Easter Bunny.
But if you're anything like me, you might be trying to avoid filling the basket with only candy. The good news? There are tons of creative, fun, and meaningful Easter basket ideas for little kids that they’ll enjoy long after the holiday is over.
Here are some of my favorite Easter basket fillers for toddlers and young kids - including books, crafts, toys, and keepsakes.
Before we talk about fillers, let's talk about the basket itself.
A personalized basket instantly turns Easter into a keepsake memory. Kids love seeing their names on things, and it makes egg hunts, photos, and traditions even more special.
One of our most popular Easter gifts is this:
➡ Personalized Easter Bunny Basket
Perfect for egg hunts and Easter morning surprises - and sturdy enough to use year after year.
Books are one of my favorite Easter basket fillers because they encourage quiet time and family reading traditions.
A fun option for younger kids is:
This playful story is perfect for toddlers and early readers and makes a great Easter bedtime story.
Coloring books are always a hit in our house and keep kids busy while dinner is cooking.
This Easter coloring book is perfect for younger kids with simple, kid-friendly pages.
You can also pair it with crayons or markers to create a mini art kit.
These wooden musical eggs are adorable and great for toddlers.
They double as:
sensory toys
musical instruments
pretend play items
They’re also small enough to tuck into Easter eggs.
Kids love anything with their name on it.
A personalized peep bunny plush makes an adorable keepsake and something they’ll cuddle long after Easter.
If your kids love bath time, these monster truck bath bombs are such a fun idea.
They fizz in the tub and reveal a toy inside - which basically turns bath time into a mini treasure hunt.
Every basket needs a little humor.
These “Chick Poop” candy treats always get laughs from kids and make a funny addition to the basket.
Craft kits are one of the best ways to keep kids entertained during Easter weekend.
This Easter egg paint kit lets kids decorate their own eggs and create something special.
Perfect for:
Easter morning activities
playdates
family craft time
Small handmade toys feel extra special.
These pocket stuffed bunnies are adorable, soft, and perfect for little hands.
If your kids are doing an Easter egg hunt, church, brunch, or family photos, a festive shirt makes the day even more fun.
One of our favorites is:

The best Easter baskets usually include a mix of:

This keeps the basket exciting without relying only on candy.
Easter traditions are some of the sweetest childhood memories.
