Its time to make sure you have ordered what you need for Easter Baskets! I’m linking a few of my favorite basket stuffers below, and as of today, all can be delivered in time for Easter if you order soon.
An Easter or Springtime puzzle. We love eeBoo puzzles and they are usually available on amazon. This Beatrix Potter puzzle is cute too.
This Bunny Lego Set is quick to assemble and cute, but also has pieces that would be fun to build other shapes or animals with in the future.
These spy pens are so fun. They use invisible ink that is only visible with the light built in to the end of the pen. This is a big pack that can be divided up between the baskets or the extras can be saved for later.
We love Sleeping Queens and Wig Out! and both are compact games that would fit nicely into an Easter Basket. They are also both fun for kids and adults, so you know the Easter Bunny is delivering something that you won’t dread playing.
Seed packets are fun to add to an easter basket and most grocery stores are carrying them right now. Add some in to your next grocery delivery! I give my girls seeds that are quick to germinate and easy to harvest: Radishes, Beets, Carrots and flowers like Sunflowers and Zinnias are great to start with.
Don’t have a garden? A potted house plant like a succulent or jade plant are pretty hardy. A potted bulb like a tulip could also be fun for kids to care for.
Water Beads are always a hit around here. After we play with them inside, they get added to potions outside, get frozen in the freezer and added to our water table outside, add little plastic animals or plastic easter eggs and the time flies by. Don’t have a place to keep them outside? A plastic tub full of water beads and an empty bathtub could work!
Gathering a Garden game by eeBoo. Our girls got this game for Easter a few years ago and really loved it. A great game to play in the Spring! Good for ages 4+.
Garden Gloves and Tools. We started out with cute cotton gloves when my kids were little and quickly moved on to these for more waterproof-ness. They also like to have their own tools that look and feel like my garden tools, and this set lasted us a long time. Plus, they double as beach tools!
Don’t forget the chocolate bunny! Add them to your grocery order asap before they run out. Amazon is almost out of them already.
We always give a new book for Easter. Sophie Mouse is a sweet series that is both a good read aloud and a great beginning chapter book. The pictures help predict harder words and the stories are wholesome and charming. I love it when we find a long series that we all enjoy! We also gave Sonya’s Chickens by Phoebe Wahl and this year my oldest is getting The Secret Lake.
Rainboots are always useful and these ones from London Littles are darling. They are having a sale right now too! We’ve given kids umbrellas like this bunny one in the past too. A great combo for puddle stomping.
New art supplies would round things out nicely. I order all my supplies from Blick now, with the exception of liquid watercolors from Discount School Supply. Blick has a great selection of brushes, sketchpads, paints and watercolor paper that are all great for kids and adults. Just choose student grade or search for kids supplies in the search bar.
