Oh how I love spoiling my kiddos on special occasions like Easter! My goal is always to fill their baskets with quality items that they’ll actually USE, even if it means spending a little more or purchasing less. Their baskets vary year-to-year of course, but usually include three types of things… Books to read, supplies to create with, and open-ended toys to play with. I also love using holidays like Easter to add to their most loved collections (things like their LEGO, animal figurine, musical instrument, and Maileg mice collections).
You’ll find all of my recommendations in the ‘Easter Basket Goodies’ section of my amazon shop, but in case it’s easier in list form, here are some of my favourite quality items to put in your child’s easter basket…
