Inexpensive Easter Gift Ideas
Easter is a holiday that commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and it coincides with spring. Celebrated in the Roman and Protestant churches, it is associated with several family traditions such as egg hunting and egg rolling contests.

Easter gift basket for kid’s? Any ideas?
Q: For Easter I usually make small easter gift baskets for my cousins. My boyfriend and I and some other family members went in and bought my 2 older cousins 6 and 5 a Wii since there was stolen. So I still need to get my little cousins who is 2 years old and is a boy and my 11 month old cousin whose a girl something. Any ideas? Something small as both their birthdays are coming up. Thanks!
A: Choose a smaller sized basket for your toddler. I like to opt for softer Easter baskets with animal faces rather than woven baskets for small children for several reasons. First, toddlers enjoy receiving cuddling animals (even in basket form!). Second, toddlers may have a tendency to chew on woven baskets and some of these baskets may contain dies.
1. Egg-shaped Play-Doh. During the Easter season, you can find cute little basket stuffers at retailers such as Target or WalMart. Toddlers love to play with Play-Doh so include a little 2 pack of egg-shaped Play-Doh in this year’s basket.
2. Easter bunny bouncy ball. Most small children love to ball with bouncy balls. Look for a ball that is either pastel colored for Easter or that contains a bunny inside the ball. Be sure to give bouncy balls that are large enough so that the child cannot swallow them. If it doubt, only give these toys to toddlers over age 3.
3. A small crayon pack and Easter themed coloring book. You really cannot go wrong with crayons in a toddler’s basket! Kids this age love to do artwork so encourage their creativity. Look for washable crayons for easy cleanup.
4. Choose one candy item. Rather than filling your toddler’s basket full of sugary treats, choose to add just one candy item. A small chocolate bunny is a good idea because you can break it apart and make it last for several days.
5. ABC magnets. Purchase a package of ABC magnets for your refrigerator for older toddlers. Your child will love learning the ABCs and making words on the fridge for weeks and months to come. This gift idea may not be appropriate for younger toddlers who still have a tendency to “taste” everything.
6. Add a small stuffed toy. If your child loves to cuddle with furry animals, add a Easter bunny to the basket. My toddler loves dogs so we’ll add a special Easter “doggie” to his gift basket. Choose a stuffed toy that your child will enjoy!
7. Easter stickers. Add some packages of small Easter themed stickers to the basket. Your child will love accenting his or her artwork with these fun shaped stickers. You can even have your child make Easter cards for friends and family and decorate them with the stickers.
8. Bunny ears. Add a pair of bunny ears that your child can wear during their Easter egg hunt. Your child will be delighted to wear some whimsical ears, and you’ll be able to capture precious memories on film. If you cannot find bunny ears to purchase, consider adding art supplies to the basket to make them with your child.When you package your toddler’s Easter basket, I’d suggest that you do not use artificial Easter grass due to the choking hazard. If you need to add something to the bottom of the basket, choose some Easter themed tissue paper. Happy Easter!
Top 10 Easter Basket Gift Ideas For Kids
When is Easter 2012?
Easter Sunday 2012: April 8th, 2012
Easter is such a special holiday for our family. It’s important to me to that our family focuses on the true message of Easter but we still have fun with popular Easter traditions such as the Easter baskets. Like many parents, I want I limit the amount of sugar in our Easter baskets and instead offer practical and fun items. I also want to stay within a reasonable budget and get value for the money I do spend. I have been there, done that, with junkie bobble head chickens and flimsy plastic bunny games that are dropped, broken and forgotten within days.
I am always on the look out for ways to combine fun with learning. I love inspiring my kids to explore the wonders of science. Here’s a list of easy to find, or in some cases make, items for budding scientists.
Easter Basket Idea #1: Magnifying Glass
Kids love magnifying glasses. They can use them to look at their own skin, bugs, plants or dirt in the carpet. I recommend plastic for young kids to use independently but you may want to invest a real deal glass one for older or very responsible kids. Magnifying glasses aren’t just big fun; they lay the groundwork for later using microscopes or telescopes.
Easter Basket Idea #2: Nature Collection Bag
Kids love to collect things and a Nature Collection Bag encourages them to get outside and moving to look for them. You can purchase small canvas bags at superstores or craft stores. Invest in a fabric marker and personalize the bag with their name and call it whatever may be attractive to your child. For my daughter, who recently graced me with a turtle shell and a piece of wood with holes she’s decided we should plant seeds in, that would be a “Brady’s Nature’s Treasure Bag.” For my son, who loves to play “guess what I found” and to surprise Mom and Dad with “special rocks,” that would be “Lee’s Bag of Surprises.” If you’re really thrifty one of those nice plain brown store bags with handles and colored markers can create the same inspiration.
Easter Basket Idea #3: Small Sketch Pad & Pencil
My education professor once told us that kids love things that are really big and really small. I’ve found she’s right, super-sized or mini-versions of common items are enticing to children. Tiny notepads are available at office supply, drug stores and dollar stores. The point of the smallness is for nature’s sketchers, journalers, listers or doodlers to keep it in their pocket when they’re exploring. Model for kids some science ideas like drawing the moon every night for a week or drawing the changes in plants as they grow. Don’t forget good old fashion fun like “leaf rubbings.”
Easter Basket Idea #4: Bug Jar
Bug jars are always big hits. You can buy one or make one with a plastic (or glass if you’re comfortable) jar by putting holes in the lid with a nail and using a permanent marker to personalize. Be sure to share your family’s guidelines for catching, handling and releasing bugs. I love that my kids get lots of exercise finding and catching bugs. The magnifying glass comes in handy once they have one too.
Easter Basket Idea #5: Safari or Sun Hat
A safari style or sun hat will protect your budding scientists precious skin from the sun while they explore. Most kids love to play dress up. Adding an exploring hat (or even vest) will set the mood and make them feel like a real explorer. Another option is cool bandannas that kids can wear on the head, as a scarf or even tie to a stick to carry things. (My daughter, “my assistant editor,” would like me to add that explorers need cool sunglasses to too- to protect their eyes of course!
Easter Basket Idea #6: Packs of Seeds
Packs of seeds are very inexpensive and just the sound they make when kids pick them up is so exciting! Choose from varieties of flowers, herbs or produce you’re up to planting. Include some cups to get your seedlings started in. This idea is very low in cost but makes a big promise to kids of fun activity you’ll soon do together.
Easter Basket Idea #7: Garden/Work Gloves
Little gardeners and treasure seekers need little gloves to protect their hands and like the hat, it simply makes the part feel real. I don’t know about your kids but mine seldom want to bother with winter gloves to play in the cold but will find any excuse to put on their cute garden gloves.
Easter Basket Idea #8: Disposable Cameras
Kids love taking pictures. At times I allow them to use my digital with close supervision but I am not going to let them take in out in the yard and use it independently. That’s why I often buy me kids cheap disposable cameras. I have sometimes found the “wedding reception” themed cameras on big sale. My kids could care less about the thought behind the white lacey motif. Put some Easter stickers on whatever is cheapest and pat yourself on the back. One consideration with the disposable cameras is developing the pictures. They can’t be developed at home or previewed on a photo machine but many photo centers offer a “don’t like it, don’t pay for it” policy. I ask when I drop off and let them know that I am unsure how many will be usable. Obviously, all of the shots won’t be photo perfect but I buy any that are identifiable.
Easter Basket Idea #9: Science Books
No Easter basket at my house would be complete without books. Most of our homes are full of fiction books and could use a few more non-fiction books. Scholastic puts out some well-done non-fiction books for young children at very reasonable prices. For kids age seven and older, Oh Yuck: The Encyclopedia of Everything Nasty is my absolute favorite science book.
Easter Basket Idea #10: Bubble Bath
Sure bubbles explore several scientific properties but the truth is little exploring scientists will need a good bath. Another truth is that since I am buy bubble bath any way, why not make it an Easter basket item? Most importantly, my kids always smile big when they see bubble bath in their Easter baskets.
