Affordable Easter Basket Ideas for Kids

April 15, 2019 Comments : 14

Easter has always been a favorite holiday of mine, and now that I have kids of my own, I love putting together fun Easter baskets for them. With that said, Easter is not the equivalent of Christmas around here, so I’m all about finding affordable Easter basket ideas for my girls!

Affordable Easter Basket Ideas for Kids

When I was growing up, I got a few small items, including my favorite – the coveted peanut butter chocolate egg that is so popular in the south. Surprisingly, since we’ve lived in Tennessee, I haven’t been able to find any local businesses that make these, so I tend to make my own for all of us to enjoy (find the recipe here). I started putting a chocolate bunny in my girls’ baskets each year to start a new tradition of our own, and they love this sweet surprise. I also like to put mostly useful things in their baskets rather than a bunch of candy and junk that will get destroyed after a few days! Here are a few of my favorite ideas – we don’t do all of these at once, but I’ll choose a few of these ideas each year.

    I love your bright pictures! It seems we are like-minded when it comes to sweets. Even with Valentines Day I really try to limit all the candy. If I’m being honest, all the candy they get from friends and family usually ends up in the trash, but shh, don’t tell, lol! I like to do activity-based Easter basket fillers as well and I also try to incorporate something that expresses the meaning of Easter such as a book about Christ that’s understandable for their age. This is a fun post, thanks for sharing!

      Thank you! <3 We totally sound the same - I also throw candy away when no one's looking! 😉 We have a story of Easter book that we got my oldest when she was a baby and I love reading that to them leading up to the holiday so they understand the true meaning of the holiday!

    This is fantastic! I was just trying to think through what I could put in my boys’ Easter baskets that would actually be useful! Love all of these ideas.

    These are great ideas! I like to make the basket itself something useful if I can and then put small treats inside it. One year I got my daughter a decorative Paris box and put candies in it. This year we got my son a new bicycle helmet so he would have a polIce helmet to wear while riding his battery police motorcycle. We will put a chocolate bunny and small treats inside the helmet.

    I love having sensible Easter baskets. I noticed your Fancy Nancy book. One of my Granddaughters favorites! I have never had a peanut butter egg, so now I will have to look for those! Yum!

      Thanks! Yes, candy is my least favorite thing around here – it always seems to lead to whining and misbehaving..so we just try not to keep it in the house! 😉
