How to choose meaningful Easter Basket items for your toddler
Choosing items, for a toddler’s Easter Basket, that feel meaningful and useful that your toddler will light up to see can be tough! We avoid processed sugar in our home so our easter baskets are candy free… which can add an additional layer of tough choices. however, we feel it is worth it! Make choices based on what your toddler is interested in right now, what will be best for your house hold, what will keep them engaged and learning while having fun. Here are a few that we have chosen this year!
Something new and special:
Choosing items for an Easter Basket that are non-candy and not going to just collect dust after the day can be a challenge. Choosing items like an umbrella are exciting to a child but can also be useful for them to have and practice with! These umbrellas are extra fun with color-changing options when they come in contact with water! Click below:
Something to use outside:
Sidewalk chalk is always a hit in this house! Our toddler loves to be outside and sidewalk chalk is a great way to encourage her creativity while keeping her engaged. These are some fun spring-themed chalk sets! Click Her for Easter Chalk !
Craft Kits:
We love making crafts in our house and our toddler is especially excited about new crafts. So we try to add some type of craft kit for her East Basket. She receive a garden stone kit for Christmas and we now have one ready for her Easter Basket as well. Click here for Garden Stone Kits!
A gift that gives back and keeps on giving:
Adding a bird house kit or bird feeder kit to your toddlers Easter Basket it a great way to help encourage empathy and responsibility. They can build, decorate and choose a place in the yard for it. Also keep it filled daily if it is a feeder. Our toddler LOVES to look at birds, feed them and know she is helping take care of them. She also received a bird watching book so that is something we can add to our daily activities… keeping her engaged and one more tool in our belt to keep her active and learning!
