Ah, Easter. The last holiday in the long line of candy-obsessed holidays that begin with Halloween and run through Christmas, Valentine's Day and finally Easter.
Well at our house, I guess I am the 'mean' mom that does not fill my kids' Easter baskets with candy. They get one big chocolate bunny and that's it. Don't feel bad for them...they get plenty of candy from their grandparents, which is one of the main reasons why we don't include candy. ;)
So...I thought I'd share some of my favorite items to include in their Easter baskets that do not involve candy:
- Baseball Cap
- Bath Crayons
- Bike Accessories (Horn, Basket, Reflectors)
- Books
- Bouncing Balls
- Bubbles
- Bug Catching Kit
- Card Games
- Colored Pencils
- Coloring Books
- Crayons
- Doll
- Fun Socks (holiday, character, polka-dot, etc.)
- Gardening Tools
- Glow Sticks
- Hair Bands/Bows
- iTunes Gift Card
- Jump Rope
- Kids' Watch
- LeapFrog LeapPad Games
- Lip Gloss
- Magazine Subscription
- Markers
- Matchbox Cars
- Movie
- Nail Polish
- Paint Set
- Pajamas
- Personalized Pencils and Notebooks
- Pinwheels

- Princess Wand/Tiana
- Puffs (for Babies…like the Gerber kind)
- Puzzles
- Shoes
- Sidewalk Chalk
- Silly Putty
- Slinkie
- Stamp Markers
- Stamp Set
- Stickers
- Stuffed Animal
- Sunglasses
- Superhero Cape
- Swimsuit
- Temporary Tatoos

Hope that provides you with some great ideas for your children's Easter baskets this year!
