Looking for something different for their Easter baskets this year? Here are some great non/candy Easter basket items for you to try.
Mom Tip:
- Pick a theme before you start shopping! It can be your kid's favorite sport, favorite color, a hobby they would love to try, spring things, summer fun, then create a basket around that!
- Create a scavenger hunt Easter basket where they wake up to find a note attached to their empty basket and they have to solve the clues to find the missing Easter basket items - this is so much fun for older kids who may think they are over the Easter basket.
