50 Non-Candy Easter Basket Ideas

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:

1. Baseball Cap
2. Bath Crayons
3. Bike Accessories (Horn, Basket, Reflectors)
4. Books
5. Bouncing Balls
6. Bubbles
7. Bug Catching Kit
8. Card Games
9. Colored Pencils
10. Coloring Books
11. Crayons
12. Doll
13. Fun Socks (holiday, character, polka-dot, etc.)
