Do you need help getting fun Easter baskets ready for Easter morning? We’ve got you covered! You are going to love these great Easter gift ideas. From younger babies to toddlers, these will be a big hit. This list is a good mix of practical items, Easter treats, and fun gift ideas.
For babies, I would suggest skipping the sweet treats. They are NOT old enough for the plastic eggs filled with jelly beans. Instead, let the Easter bunny bring fun items like bath toys and art supplies!
1. Board Books
I believe in reading to babies and I think it helps start their life long interest in reading and learning. There are tons of great board books and I suggest getting some with fun rhythms so they can enjoy the sound of the words even before they know what they mean. If you need some ideas, try this great list of 25 board books for babies at Parenting. In addition, “Way Out in the Desert” by Marsh and Ward was a big favorite in my house. “Pat the Bunny” is a classic that is perfectly on theme for baby’s first Easter as well.
Board books are specially designed for little hands to explore and enjoy, featuring bright illustrations, simple stories, and interactive flaps or textures to keep your baby engaged. As your little one flips through the board book pages of these charming Easter books, they can discover the magic of the holiday and expand their growing curiosity.
2. Soft Plush Bunny
Let’s take a look at some more vibrant and engaging options to add to your baby’s Easter basket this year. A soft plush bunny is sure to be appreciated. Babies, toddlers, and young children all love stuffed animals as a source of comfort and stimulation. Many kids will love and play with their plush animals for years to come.
3. Sensory Toys
Colorful sensory toys are a fantastic addition to your baby’s Easter basket, offering both entertainment and developmental benefits. These engaging toys will captivate your little one’s attention and stimulate their senses with bright colors, interesting textures, and interactive features. The Tiny Love Crinkly Bunny Activity Toy is with the bunny theme and right up baby’s alley for comfort and play. It has an attachment hook so you can clip it to the stroller or car seat to keep baby entertained.
4. Baby Bibs
You can never have too many baby bibs. Especially soft cotton cute ones that say things like “Gramma’s Little Bunny” or have spring chicks on them!
5.Teething Toys
For teething relief and entertainment, consider including a variety of teething toys in your baby’s Easter basket. These come in various shapes, textures, and sizes to provide comfort for your little one’s sore gums while also helping to develop their fine motor skills.
6. Baby Basics
Baby basics with fun spring themes are always useful and cute- like diaper wipes in spring packaging or organic carrot baby foods. Or cute little onesies with Peter Rabbit on them! Roll them up to look like roses (like in the Stork Baby gift basket below, link at end of post. Or pamper their skin with gentle organic skincare products that will keep them feeling fresh and happy throughout the day. These items aren’t just practical—they also make wonderful new born baby gifts that parents will appreciate long after the Easter festivities are over.
7. A Soft Lovey
Consider getting personalized keepsakes for your baby this Easter. A soft plush lovey like a chick or or a special blanket just might end up being the one that baby develops that special comfort bond with! Or imagine your baby snuggled up in a cozy crocheted blanket. These items are not just gifts, they are heirlooms in the making.
8. Musical Rattles
Musical rattles are a great addition to your baby’s Easter basket, offering not only entertainment but also stimulating their auditory senses with charming sounds. These colorful and engaging rattles will keep your little one entertained for hours, encouraging them to explore and discover new sounds.
9. Interactive Play Mats
After indulging in the delightful musical rattles, your baby can further enjoy interactive play mats that will provide them with endless opportunities for learning and play. These soft and colorful mats are perfect for tummy time or playtime, featuring different textures, shapes, and activities to engage your little one’s curiosity and promote sensory development. As they explore and interact with the play mats, they will be building important motor skills and cognitive abilities, making it a wonderful addition to their Easter basket this year.
10. Baby’s First Easter Outfit
I saved the best for last! It’s time to dress them up in a cute and festive outfit for their first Easter celebration. A special outfit for Easter can make the day even more memorable and adorable. Whether you prefer a traditional pastel-colored onesie with bunny ears or a stylish, little Easter theme dress with matching accessories, there are plenty of options to choose from to make your baby look picture-perfect for the occasion. Dressing your little one in an Easter outfit will not only add to the festive spirit of the day but also create lasting memories for you and your family to cherish.
This adorable Easter outfit will not only make your baby look cute but will also keep them comfortable throughout the day. After all, babies need to be cozy and content while enjoying all the Easter festivities. As you pick out the perfect outfit for your little one, consider choosing soft, breathable fabrics that won’t irritate their delicate skin. You may even want to include a cute pair of bunny ears!
