Easter is coming up! And it's the ideal time to share some celebratory love with your little ones as they begin to understand the exciting feeling of easter time. From egg hunts, to bunny trails and the sunshine making an appearance, Easter is arguably one of the most joyful times of the year.

One of my favourite ways to have fun with the kids over Easter break is with Easter baskets. However, crafting the perfect Easter basket for a toddler doesn't just have to be about filling it with sweet treats. From egg-matching games to egg-shaped crayons and silly suction toys; you can genuinely help boost your little one's development with an Easter basket!

Below, I've shared my favourite recommendations for Easter fun. All of the recommendations are candy-free.

Best Tips for Easter Success

• Make choices that work best for your family. You know your kids best, so choose what they'd love over the most popular items.
• Go for a combination of useful items, or ones they need (such as new colouring crayons) along with fun items like toys and Easter-themed gifts. 
• For an easy basket option, go for a bucket and wrap the handle in ribbon! You could even wrap the entire bucket in ribbon. And, save it for next year too!

Happy Easter! 🐰
