Like many parents, this week we will be putting together an Easter Basket for both of our boys.
Since Easter falls during spring, I love to make sure our baskets are filled with toys/gear aimed at the Spring season and outdoor play!
Some of the things I like to include are:
- Cars
- Bubbles
- Sidewalk Chalk
- Sand Toys
- Movies
- Small Stuffed Animals
- Fruit Snacks
- Sunglasses
- Hats
and - Books
This year I received four books from Silver Dolphin Books, and they are going to be the PERFECT addition to their Easter Baskets!

I don’t do Easter Baskets, but everyone in my husband’s family does, so my kids don’t miss out. I only wish they would skip all the chocolates and candy and fill the girls’ baskets with books, stickers and non-food treats.
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
I put a combination of candy, toys, a book and a video usually. I always liked bible story books as a kid, by the way.
