Wondering what to put inside an Easter Basket? We are sharing 50+ Easter Basket Stuffers for kids! Easter Basket gifts are fun and help your family celebrate the season, no matter what the gift may be. Easter Basket Fillers are another way to celebrate the holiday & enjoy the season.
We’ve found our favorite Easter basket ideas for kids and we’ve made a list, in no particular order. These kids’ Easter gifts are great for kids of all ages, with Easter basket ideas for toddlers (such a fun age!) up through the teenage years (trust me… teens still love to get Easter Baskets!)
Lent is almost over and Easter Sunday is just around the bend so it’s a great time to get creative and think of some Easter gift ideas for kids. I have made a list of MORE THAN 50 Easter Basket Stuffers that your kids will love. I’m sure you can find a few Easter gifts kids will use over & over and over again. We’ve added our favorites on the list, too.
Our kids look forward to finding their Easter baskets every year. These Easter Basket Fillers are fun and most are easy to find online or in the store.
Good Ideas for places to hide the Easter Basket:
- in the microwave
- behind a chair
- under a bed
- under our Mud-Room Bench.
- Behind a curtain
- On the porch
- Behind a couch pillow
- the coat closet
- inside of the oven
- hidden in a kitchen cabinet
- under blankets in a basket used to store blankets.
The kids have a blast looking for their baskets, just as my brother and I did when we were little! We have four children and Easter is so much fun for them!
Speaking of hiding & seeking, this Easter scavenger hunt is so much fun and it reminds us of the reason for our celebrations. Each card shares a different bible verse and items to look for to reinforce the scriptures.
What do we give the kids for Easter?
When our kids were younger, the Easter Bunny gave them one bigger Easter present and then filled their basket (or whatever you use as a basket) with other fun things (gifts, stuffed animals, etc…) I especially love it when the kids get personalized Easter gifts.
Now that they are older, the ‘Easter Bunny’ still comes to deliver their baskets & eggs, but the gifts have changed a bit… and the kids know that INSIDE of the basket is where the fun happens!
Easter Basket Ideas for Kids
When I was little, I loved searching for my basket. I also loved it when my “basket” wasn’t really a “basket”. 🙂 A lot of kids love to have a bunny basket (in the shape of a bunny) when they were younger ,too. Our kids are using the same Easter baskets this year that they’ve used in the past, but some years I get creative and think outside of the basket by using things like laundry baskets, luggage, backpacks, or totes. I also love this little Tool-Tote Toy Caddy like this.
EASTER EGGS:
We also search for Easter Eggs filled with things like money, stickers, or gifts. Our Easter Bunny doesn’t put the eggs in the basket, he fills their baskets with fun surprises and hides the eggs around the house and in the back yard.
They search for the eggs after they have eaten breakfast. (This blog participates in various affiliate programs from affiliate marketing programs & we’ve included their products today to make them easy to find by having links to retailer sites.) While these aren’t just editorially chosen gift ideas or editorially chosen products purchased for today’s list, they are still some of my favorites. 😉
Here are a few ideas for Stuffers for the Easter Basket
A lot of these ideas for kids’ gifts are products purchased online (some with free shipping), so you can just pass along your favorites to the Easter Bunny. Some of these can be stuffed into eggs for an Easter Egg Hunt, too!

It makes it so much fun, doesn’t it?!
Lesley says
You’re my hero! I’d already begun panicking about this year’s Easter basket. And now I have a ton of ideas! Is it just me or does everyone compete with their year-before selves? 🙂
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
hahaha!! Not just you! 🙂
Learning Mama says
So many great ideas! I’ve been brainstorming as in previous years what to put in that isn’t candy/chocolate. This year I am hoping to put together gardening themed “baskets” with a watering cans/planters filled with seeds, child sized gardening gloves and bulbs etc.
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
OH- I love those gardening tool ideas!!

Another way to find excellent bargains are by shopping on sites like Groupon, Zulily and Totsy. Each of these sites offer toys, clothes and gifts at significantly discounted prices. I love putting something personalized in my kids’ baskets. I’ve done personalized books, t-shirts and toys in the past.Another way to find excellent bargains are by shopping on sites like Groupon, Zulily and Totsy.

Last year for Easter we put clues in the eggs & she (5 years old) had to use the clues to find her gifts (3 or 4 small things, a book, fun socks, etc). We don’t give her candy & you can only put so much money & stamps in the eggs, so we tried this idea. She had a great time with it & has been talking about it recently, 2 months until Easter. (all the blue eggs lead to 1 gift, pink eggs led to second gift, etc)
Becky (Your Modern Family) says
Cute!
Maria says

When I taught 5th Grade Sunday School, Before Easter we talked about Jesus’s Resurrection. We made biscuits in our class.. The kid’s rolled out the dough, and In the center of each biscuit we put a Large Marshmallow. Then covered the Marshmallow with dough. I baked the biscuits and let them cool. I asked the children to each cut their biscuit in half. Where did the Marshmallow go? And where did Jesus go? When the Rock was moved from the tomb?
Becky Mansfield says
Such a great idea!
