Easter is a little over three weeks away, which means it’s time to start thinking about Easter baskets! I’ve been collecting items for a couple of months now & I just finished putting together Wyatt & Boden’s baskets. Let’s hope I don’t find more things to add in the next few weeks! Although I will admit, I’m a little surprised to see how quickly Easter items flew off the shelves this year. I’m glad I started shopping a bit early!

I wanted to make sure I filled their baskets with intentional items that would last us a while & not just buy a bunch of seasonal “junk”. I went with a few nice-quality toys, some snacks/treats & some bathtub paint/crayons. I think these pieces did just the trick! I know the kids will be excited to receive some new wooden animals & playsilks (they love these things!) & will definitely be stoked about the chocolate! They also really enjoy taking baths (but have a lot of bath toys) so I thought the bath crayons & paint would be something new & fun.

Here is a list of things I included in their baskets this year:

Bunny baskets are from Michael’s & are the large size. Currently on sale!
Sarah’s Silks playsilks for the basket filler/grass: forest & ocean from the Earth collection.
Ostheimer wooden animals: sheep, rooster, standing bunny, sitting bunny.
Grimm’s sorting game. We all know I love Grimm’s wooden toys. This one was perfect because it came with two sets, packaged individually, so I could split it between the two baskets.
Bath crayons. I purchased both the orange/green/blue pack & the red/yellow/gray.
Crayola bathtub finger paint soap. I found these in the dollar section at Target! I can’t find a link, I’m assuming they are a pretty popular product.
Snacks: Annie’s Easter fruit snacks, See’s mini chocolate bunny & Lindt chocolate chick.

I bought these bunny eggs to put the fruit snacks in, these colored eggs for the chocolate chicks (& our egg hunt) & these adorable fillable carrots for the wooden bunnies to sit in.

I’m looking forward to coloring eggs with the boys this year & doing an egg hunt! I think the kids will have a ton of fun hunting for them.

What are you putting in your kiddos baskets this year?

Happy Easter!

Hoppy almost Easter! I just finished putting Wyatt & Boden’s Easter baskets together & I’m so excited for them to see what’s inside! Because of the Coronavirus, I couldn’t go out & shop for items like I wanted to. I had to get a little creative & use what we already had.

I used two baskets from the boys’ room to hold all of their Easter goodies & they are each getting two Easter books (three are from my mom & one is from Sean & me). I added their stuffed bunnies that they have had since before they were born & some wooden cars that they already had…shhh! It already looked like a great Easter basket without spending any money! I did purchase some bath toys online & some snacks.

Easter baskets & contents:

Basket: Pehr Pom Pom Pint

Books: Happy Easter, Mouse!, The Very Hungry Caterpillar’s Easter Colors, There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Chick!, Hoppy Clubhouse Easter

Stuffed bunnies: These bunnies were gifts from my mom before the boys were born. They are perfect bunnies for an Easter basket! dark grey bunny, light grey bunny

Cars: My boys love the wooden, magnetic toys from Tegu. They have a set of blocks, a train set & two cars. These two cars were gifted to them for Christmas & I decided to throw them into their baskets. I know they will enjoy them because they get played with all the time 😂 The great thing is…the boys are too young to realize that the cars aren’t new! blue car, green car

Bath toys: I ordered these color changing origami boat bath toys & I had to try them out right away! I think the boys will get a kick out of them. It came with three in a pack, so I’m giving them each one & putting the third away until I give them their baskets.

Snacks: What’s an Easter basket without snacks?! Since I’m not going to be giving my one-year-olds candy…I thought Peter Rabbit fruit & veggie pouches would be perfect. They love these things!

Are you doing Easter baskets for your kids this year? If so, what are you filling them with?
