Egg-ceptionally Cute Easter Gifts and Basket Fillers for Kids

Easter is one of those magical times for children that they really look forward to. Kids love Easter as it is spring time, time to be back playing outside with their friends. They love the egg hunt, the visit from the Easter bunny, and of course, all the treats and small gifts he/it brings them.

In case the Easter bunny is wondering what to fill their baskets with this year, here is a list of cute gift ideas.  

If you are looking for a special alternative to an Easter basket for your children or wanting to start a new holiday tradition, then you should consider giant Decoupage Easter Eggs. For those who don’t know, decoupage is the art of decorating objects by gluing pieces of colored paper, fabric or pictures onto them. The one on the photo is part of a set of six picturesque Easter eggs that are decorated with adorable vintage German prints and are actually made in Germany. Each egg is sturdy enough to be filled with candy and small gifts and used instead of an Easter basket. The largest egg measures approximately 13-3/4" and the smallest 3.5". They are so cute that kids will definitely love them.

To put a twist on the standard egg hunt game and make it even more fun for the kids, get them these colorful eggs that talk, giggle, and make silly noises. They are called Hide 'Em & Find 'Em Eggs and they taunt your kids as they hunt for them, saying things like “Yoo-hoo, I’m hiding!” and “I’m Over Here”. Once they are found, they will say “Surprise, You Found Me!” As an additional surprise, inside every egg there is a cute little bunny or baby chick. There are also large enough to store some candy. After the Easter egg hunt is over, the kids will probably take them apart to find out where the voice is coming from.

Here is an absolutely amazing Easter gift for kids – 3D Giant Chalk Set. The set consists of four giant chalks, each made of two different colors, and two pairs of 3D glasses. When something is drawn and viewed through the 3D glasses, the colors appear at a different depth. For example, “warm” colors like orange, red and pink appear to float above the “cool” colors like blue and green. Unlike many 3D toys that often disappoint, this chalk set actually works. You will be WOW-ed once your lil Picasso gets down to business. The best part about this set is that the 3D glasses also work with drawings made with markers, crayons and pans.

According to Time to Play Magazine, the Little People Easter Surprise set from Fisher Price is one of the best Easter-themed toys on the market and would make a fantastic gift for your kid. The set includes a small house with a bunny that pops out of the chimney, a cute chicken, Easter egg and other surprises. This adorable play house will delight younger children and will provide them with lots of hours of fun. 

Most little girls love jewelry just as much as big girls do, so this adorable crystal bunny necklace could be a nice Easter gift for any little fashionista. The necklace comes in a super cute bunny-shaped box that makes it perfect for Easter. Other necklaces such as Bumble Bees and Ladybugs would also make great accessories for those darling little spring outfits.

If your little boy is a fan of the Disney Pixar’s movie Cars, then the best Easter gift for him would be Lightning McQueen or Charlie Checker, hidden inside a colorful egg. The Holiday Special Easter Eggs by Mattel contain die cast vehicles form the famous movie and can be a perfect addition to an Easter basket.

This bubble bath set could be sweet and inexpensive Easter basket filler for any kid who loves baths. The squeezable carrot and bunny are filled with cotton candy scented bubble bath and can make bath time more fun. If your kid doesn’t like baths very much then you can add a new rubber ducky or other bath toys to this set that will keep your little angel occupied and your sanity somewhat preserved.

If you are a parent who doesn’t want to encourage your children to eat a lot of sweets, especially on Easter, gift them with panoramic sugar eggs. Although the sugar eggs are totally edible, nobody would want to eat them, because they are so lovely to look at. Kids will be fascinated to discover the charming Easter scenes that are nestled inside these whimsically decorated eggs. Panoramic eggs would make charming Easter gifts for adults too.

Easter themed plush toys are great basket stuffers and every kid enjoys receiving them as gifts. You can never go wrong with plush toys of their favorite cartoon or film character. This adorable little Hello Kitty doll dressed up as Easter Bunny, for example, is something that every Hello Kitty fan would want to have (and it will look great on the Easter photos too). The plush doll is part of the popular Ty Beanie Babies Collection.

For most kids chocolate is an integral part of Easter and is always a nice gift for the Easter Bunny to leave in their baskets. There are lots of chocolate eggs and rabbits in the stores but for those who are looking for something different from the traditional Easter treats, here is an idea – Chocolate Tweets. These vibrant colored chicks are hand decorated gourmet truffles made by the chocolate company Choclatique. Although these are not certified organic, they do not contain preservatives or artificial flavors, which make them healthier gift option for kids.

Hop Balls are not only fun gifts, but also a great way to get your kids moving after eating all that Easter candy. They will have a lot of fun hoping around like Easter bunnies. Hopping balls are usually made from super strong, yet soft vinyl and are very durable. This is a gift that won’t be forgotten or stashed away after the holidays.

Dora the Explorer is one of those cartoon characters that children just adore. This means that a book featuring Dora’s Easter adventures would be a hit in almost any basket. The book comes with eight different paints and a brush, so kids can decorate the paper eggs inside, and is full of surprises. There are also a lot of other books specially designed to introduce Easter to young kids that will make great gifts.

One way to keep the Holiday fun going is to watch Easter movies. Movies such as The Easter Bunny Is Comin' to Town can be very entertaining for kids and also offer charming explanation for each of the Easter traditions. For example, the movie explains the Easter egg hunt, why do we color eggs, the Easter bonnets, the chocolate bunnies and many more.

New skateboard or roller skates are cool Easter gifts that will get kids moving. They will sure enjoy scooting or skating around the neighborhood and having fun with other children. For those who are too young for a regular skateboard, there are products such as Scoot 2 Skate. Scoot 2 Skate is a skateboard with removable handle that helps with the balance. Skates for beginners are good gift idea for young kids too.

Hoppy Easter Everyone !!!!
