When it comes to making up Easter baskets, I love putting them together for my kids but always have trouble coming up with non-candy Easter basket ideas. Sure, I love Easter candy & so my kids but I don’t want their entire baskets to be full of candy. Awhile back, I came up with a list that I keep handy of all sorts of things I can put in their Easter baskets and I know they’ll love it! What would you add to the list?

You have some great ideas here. I try to limit candy in my kids’ Easter baskets to a couple of pieces. My kids are a little bit older, but we still give them Easter baskets. Usually we do card games, magazines, nail polish, earrings, etc.
Great list! I’m going to use this and see what I can get from Dollar Tree. 🙂
So many great ideas! I think I will try kites this year for extra fun!
