50 non-candy Easter basket ideas!

I have a 7 year old, 5 year old and 2 year old. Every year we do our best to fill their Easter baskets with things other than candy. I mean…they’ll definitely get candy, lol. Trust me, they’ll each get their share of jelly beans and Reeses eggs, BUT if we can keep the candy in their basket at a minimum, we may just have a few less sugar crashes and tantrums!
It’s very important to us to teach our kids the real meaning of Easter. We want them to know that we aren’t celebrating bunnies and eggs, but the resurrection of Jesus.
In the past, the kids have received picture Bibles. Now that my son can read, we’re thinking of giving him a more “grown up” Bible that will grow with him a bit. I’ve been looking at the Adventure Bible for him.
Even my littlest has a little lift the flap Bible. It’s the sweetest, and she loves listening to the stories and lifting the flaps. 🙂
We always like to include something a little extra special in the basket, which is why I mentioned the Bibles. 🙂 After choosing the one special item, we can go crazy with the fillers!
If you’re like me, you’ll wait until the very last minute to do your Easter basket shopping (sigh). If you want to avoid the Target chaos a few days before the holiday, head to Amazon and get everything sent right to your door!
