Our three daughters are currently ages 7, 5, and 3. We love to use gift giving occasions like this to focus on giving them items they’ll wear or use in the upcoming season. It’s also a great opportunity to restock art supplies. Adding in toiletries or the next size shoe is a fun way to give them items they need, but in a way that makes them feel like a special treat! Here’s some of our favorite Easter Basket ideas for kids!
Easter Basket Ideas for Kids
Kwik Stix Paint Stix
Kwik Stix paint sticks – Our girls LOVE painting, but it can get messy quickly. These paint sticks are a fun alternative! Kids can enjoy painting without all of the mess. The washable paint sticks don’t require any smocks, cups, water, or brushes. You simply take the cap off, twist the paint stick up, and then paint. It’s mess-free fun! This set includes 10 pastel colors, which is fun for spring. They have a variety of color and size packs, including this set of 24 classic colors, and this set of 14 global skin tone colors.
Magic Stix Markers
Magic Stix markers – This set of 24 washable markers (also available in a 36 pack or in a 48 pack) is designed to last for 7 days without drying out with the cap off. They have a triangular shape that helps kids be able to hold them with a stable tripod grasp, and also helps them to not roll off the table. They also include a carrying case for easy storage. They’re the best markers! They’re also available in a set of 12 global skin tone markers.
Wonder Stix Chalk Crayons
Wonder Stix chalk crayons – These are like a dustless chalk crayon that can draw on lots of different surfaces. They work great on construction paper, poster board, and cardboard boxes. They are wipeable if used on whiteboards, chalkboards, windows, or glass. It’s a fun multi-surface drawing option for kids!
Paint by Sticker Book
Paint by Sticker Book – Our girls have always been a fan of sticker books, and this one is a fun challenge. Kids get to find a sticker, peel it off, and stick it on the correct location within a paint-by-sticker image. The cute pictures come to life as each colorful sticker is added!
Watercolor Bookmarks
Watercolor Bookmarks – These mini watercolor bookmarks are fun and easy to use. The paint palette is one the side of the page, so you can wet the paintbrush, moisten the paint palette, and fill in the pictures. Then you can tear off the palette along the dotted lines when you are finished and use the finished piece as a bookmark. It’s a simple, cute and practical art project!
The Very Hungry Caterpillar Craft Kits
The Very Hungry Caterpillar Craft Kits – Our girls love craft kits! Very Hungry Caterpillar My Book Tote and Very Hungry Caterpillar Story Puppets are fun ones for spring. Kids get to decorate their own canvas bag as a book tote, and transform socks into hand puppets. These kits are perfect to pair with the toddler board book or the 50th Anniversary Golden hardcover edition of the classic story.
Playfoam Pluffle
Playfoam Pluffle – This is a super soft and fluffy sensory bin filler that is so much fun to touch! We have a wooden sensory play bin with various tools, that our girls use to scoop, dig, and pour. We also like this fine motor tool set with tweezers and scoopers. It’s fun to play with the pluffle and it never dries out!
Baby Doll Carrier
Baby Doll Carrier – We still use a toddler carrier to carry our 3-year-old on city adventures. Our girls love playing with their baby dolls, and now they can carry their babies in their own mini baby doll carrier. It’s such a fun addition to their favorite imaginative play activity.
Reading Nightlight
Reading Nightlight – Our three daughters share a triple bunk bed. We usually put them all to bed at the same time and they enjoy reading in their own beds. These little clip-on book lights let each of them have their own reading space. We can turn off the overhead light so they can fall asleep when they’re ready. They are rechargeable using a USB connector cable, so we also don’t have to worry about batteries.
Natural Makeup Set for Kids
Natural Makeup Sets for Kids – Our older girls love being “fancy” when playing dress up. We really like this kids makeup line that is made from quality minerals and natural preservatives, and is free from artificial dyes and heavy mineral oils. The sets include items like natural mineral eye shadow, natural mineral blush, and lip shimmer. All of the products are gentle and non-toxic! (also available on Amazon)
Stainless Steel Water Bottle
Stainless Steel Water Bottle – Our girls love these stainless steel water bottles and use them every day. We like this style with the straw lid that flips down to close securely. It is leak-proof in a backpack but easy for them to open. The water bottle has a double wall insulation, and it keeps their water cold all day! The water bottles come in lots of fun designs. Our girls have the Llama Rainbows, the Stardust Unicorns and the Gelato prints.
Toiletries Gift Set
Tubby Todd: Toiletries Gift Set – Gift giving occasions are a great time to stock up on items our girls use all of the time, but make them a little more fun or special. This gift set includes Bubble Bath, Hair + Body Wash and Everyday Lotion in a Pear Blossom scent. They’re daily essentials, but feel like a special treat! (shop through my Tubby Todd link to automatically save an extra 10% at checkout, no code needed!)
Spring Dresses, Tees, and Shorts
Spring Dresses, Tees, and Shorts – We like to use gift giving occasions to add a few clothing items for the next size and season. Our daughters love these cute dresses and these comfy tees with these field shorts. They’re comfortable to play in all day, perfect for spring/summer, and come in lots of fun colors. Use code TIDYDAD20 for 20% off your 1st order + free shipping.
Quality Sunglasses
Quality Sunglasses – These heart sunglasses are ultra-lightweight, flexible, and virtually indestructible. They have polarized shatter-resistant lenses, glare reduction technology, and provide 100% UVA/B/C protection. We love that the arms are bendable, rather than breakable. They even come with a carrying pouch that doubles as polishing cloth. These cute heart sunglasses are perfect for kids all year round!
Comfortable Sandals
Ten Little shoes – These are the BEST shoes for little ones. They are lightweight and designed to support natural growth in little feet. The Summer Sandals come in moondust silver, green/navy, and blush/candy pink. They are an open-toe, water-friendly sandal that is perfect for wearing to the beach or playground sprinklers. The Everyday Sandals come in sandy brown, steel grey, and blush pink. We love that they have a closed toe, so they are perfect for walking, running, or climbing at the playground.
I hope this roundup inspires your Easter Basket ideas for kids!
