Best Easter Basket For Toddlers
1. Easter Treats
If you are anything like me, you want your toddler to be able to have some treats but not a crazy amount.
There are so many individual cute wrapped Easter Treats now that will help you out.
And if none of those work or your kiddo can't have them, consider a favorite snack/drink or snacks - Goldfish Crackers.
Side note – what do you think about Easter egg grass? Do you love it or is it not your jam?
Let me know in the comments below.
It is NOT my favorite!
2. Play In The Rain Kit
What little kid doesn’t like playing in the rain? I can think of 0!
Put together a cute play-in-the-rain kit. You can include a rain coat, umbrella, and most important puddle boots!
This brand of rain boots is the only brand I buy for my kids. They are built to last!
3. Sunglasses
Toddlers in sunglasses are absolutely adorable! All 4 of my kids love wearing sunglasses.
4. Backpack
Your toddler is going to love carrying around his favorite toys or her favorite books in a new backpack. Backpacks work great for car rides!
My daughter had a Minnie Mouse one and my boys had Disney Cars, but I can’t find those so here are some other amazing options to choose from.
5. Hair Accessories
Does your little girl love hair accessories as much as my daughter does? Yep, she still does even though she is almost 12. The tastes have just changed a bit.
Hook her up with some hair ties, hair clips, or headbands.
6. Hat
A new sun hat or baseball hat is perfect for the sunny spring days ahead.
We both know that your toddler grew out of the one from last year!
7. Water Bottle
Your kiddo is going to love staying hydrated with this new water bottle.
It is durable and dishwasher safe, which is my favorite part.
8. Colors
Color utensils are a cheap and easy way to fill up your toddler’s Easter basket, and you know they will get used.
I am kind of a snob when it comes to kids’ arts and crafts materials because Crayola is the only way to go around here. You just get what you pay for with them!
9. Color Books
Pair those colors with a color book or 2 and your kiddo is going to be thrilled!
10. Water Wow
Kids love these books, I love these books, and if you don't have them yet – get them, and then you will love them too.
They are perfect for in the car, waiting room, restaurant, and just around your house.
11. Color Wonder
Whether your toddler is a messy crafter or not, these are going to rock your world! The markers only work on the special paper they come with.
12. Play-Doh
Oh, I know, Play-Doh can be so messy but it is also so much fun.
It also strengthens toddlers’ hands and works on fine motor skills too.
So let them play with it, mama, it won’t be for long!
13. Stickers
Plain and simple, kids love stickers!
Find the ones that you know your toddler is going to love the most and grab this colorful paper too.
14. Boogie Board
Your toddler is going to make tons of pictures for you without wasting a single sheet of paper!
My kids can’t get enough of these Boogie boards and neither can I.
15. Sandbox Toys
Do you have a sandbox? Then you can never have enough sandbox toys. And they will get played with, trust me on that.
We have a pretty epic sandbox. It is huge with its own large patio umbrella for it.
But it is well worth it because my 4 kids are in it all summer long, which is way better than having them in front of a screen.
16. Bubbles
Kids love bubbles.
It seems we have tried out our fair share of bubbles and these are the ones we keep going back to.
17. Balls
Playing with balls is a great way for every toddler to get some exercise.
These are the best balls for toddlers and they will never tire of playing with them.
18. Sidewalk Chalk
Here we go again with the Crayola brand, but for good reason.
Their sidewalk chalk washes the best out of clothes and gives a brighter color payoff.
I am all about anything that helps with cleanup!
19. Kites
I feel like you don't see kites much anymore but they are a blast!
If your kiddo is like any of mine, you will be listening to giggles the whole time.
20. Bubble Lawn Mower
Oh, I wish this bubble lawnmower cut the grass for real because it goes all over my yard all the time.
I am sure your kiddo is going to use it just as much.
21. Binoculars
You are going to be amazed how much your toddler will use these binoculars!
Not to mention all the new things he will see with them. So fun.
22. Golf Set
Whether you are a golfer or not, your toddler is going to have the best time playing with this golf set.
Just don’t stand too close or you may get hit with the club. Yep, that may have happened to me before!
23. Easter Books
There are so many great Easter books for kids. These are the ones my kids love the most.
My favorite is Happy Easter Little Critter.
24. Stuffed Animals
With so many small snuggly stuffed animals to choose from, you are going to want them all
.
We have had great luck with stuffed animal friends from these brand.
25. Puzzles
Puzzles are an amazing way to get your toddler started on problem-solving skills.
These wooden ones are the best. You won't have any bent pieces with these.
26. Baby Dolls
Toddler girls, and some toddler boys, have the best time playing with baby dolls.
27. Barbie
A Barbie doll is the perfect size to fit in your daughter’s Easter basket. Go big or go small, they are all fun.
28. Cars
It will not matter if you get Matchbox Cars or Hot Wheels Cars. We have them both and they are all amazing.
Your son will be playing with these cars for years to come.
29. Dinosaurs
If your kiddo is a dinosaur lover, you have to get this book.
It comes with 12 dinosaur figures to play with even when story time is over.
30. TV Character Figures
Kids like to play with their favorite character figures that they have seen on TV.
Here are just a few of the many that you can choose from.
31. Matching Eggs
Check out these cute and festive Matching Eggs.
They help to recognize colors and shapes.
32. Games
Being a daycare provider means I have a bunch of board games in my house. I am not joking, there are over 50!
The games that get the most toddler use include:
33. Leapfrog 100 Words Books
If you have a younger toddler, these word books are a must-have! You will be amazed how much your kiddo’s vocabulary is going to explode.
34. Vtech Tablet
I cannot stress enough how much this toddler tablet will get used! And it is so good!
My oldest son got it when he was 2, he is almost 10, and it still gets used all of the time by his youngest sibling.
35. Dress Up Clothes
Let your kid be a kid with a wild imagination and these dress-up clothes.
36. Flashlight
I am pretty sure you are wondering how a flashlight made it on this list but hear me out. If your toddler is 3 and older you should get one.
You can have flashlight dance parties in the dark, read by flashlight under a blanket or in a fort, or even go on a walk and let him carry it.
Who knew a flashlight could be so much fun?

What is your favorite Easter tradition? Let me know in the comments below.
My late Grandpa always had a Bloody Mary to drink on Easter, so as a nod to him I have one as well.
We also love to do a huge Easter Egg hunt. Usually, it has over 100 eggs but I think we may need to add some more
.
I look forward to hearing from you and thanks for stopping by!
