Get lightweight
No one likes a heavy load, especially young children carrying around baby Easter baskets. The best way to go is coarse lightweight materials such as plastic, fabric or rattan. If you’re h going for the traditional basket design for a more classic look, rattan is definitely the best material to use.
Choose according to personality and age
Easter gifts for kids are easy. Since kids are generally very easy to please, they’ll be happy to receive just candy and toys. But if you’d like to make things more interesting without spending too much here are a few great ideas for Easter gifts for kids:
• Crayons
• Coloring books
• Pencils
• Classic children’s books like The Giving Tree, Alice in Wonderland and The Velveteen Rabbit
• Building blocks
• Clay
• Toothbrush and toothpaste
The baby Easter baskets could also consist of healthy tasty treats like carrot cakes, cookies and orange juice. Don’t be afraid to add in a few marshmallow and bunny shaped treats.
Let the creative juices flow
Designing craftily unique Easter baskets are fun ways to keep children excited. Going for motifs based on the child’s interests such as pirates, dolls, or favorite colors are surefire ways to make Easter more memorable. For instance, if the child likes baseball, then baseball-themed Easter baskets would be perfect egg-hunting motifs. The Easter baskets could also be designed with letters of each child’s name or designed after their favorite cartoon character. A child who likes Doc McStuffins will appreciate a basket lined with doctor stickers and toy stethoscopes. You could also mix and match the designs using materials like crepe paper, cutouts, ribbons and appliques.
