Surprise Your Kids With These Adorable Easter Basket Ideas

By ashley nash baltazar

Gifting the children in your life with a customized Easter basket is a great way to get them into the holiday spirit.

Baskets are often themed with pastel colors, a bunny in some form and a few pieces of candy. Feel free to make it your own, highlighting the personality of the little ones you love.

Pale pink, green, yellow or blue are popular color options, although nothing is off the table! 

Lambs are often associated with the Christian celebrations of the Easter holiday. Bunnies are also traditional in the wider sense. Both, as stuffed animals, are beloved by children.

Chalk packs in the spring are typically already of the pastel color family so they fit into holiday celebrations perfectly. Draw a hopscotch or let the kids doodle on a sunny day.

Spring is also a time when families first return to the beach after winter. If you plan to play in the sand in the coming months, gift the kids in your family with a pail and shovel.

Easter can also be a sunny time, with much of the holiday being spent outdoors. Add some style to the lives of your little ones with sunglasses to match their baskets.

For those who enjoy coloring, consider finding an egg or bunny themed book full of designs they can customize. If drawing bunnies of their own is more your kid's speed, try a notebook.

Traditions vary around Easter eggs. You can place a few in the basket or spread them throughout your yard/a park for kids to find. Then, they can use their basket to store them.
