Non-Candy Easter Basket Ideas

New clothes – New spring clothes are a great non-candy idea for Easter. Think shorts, t-shirts, hats and sandals! Stores are filled with new and cute options for spring and summer fun.

Stuffed animals or plushies – A cute, soft bunny or fuzzy chick will delight your little one on Easter. Or choose a favourite to add to a collection — Beanie Boos or Squishmallows are popular choices right now. The reversible happy/angry plush by TeeTurtle is also fun!

Surprise Toys – Blind bags are a craze right now. Brands such as LOL and Mini Brands are sure to be a hit. It helps that many of these are sold in a compact ball that can fit into your little ones basket!

Gift cards – Surprise your older kids with a gift card to their favourite store this Easter and let them choose their own gift. Gift cards for the local ice cream shop or dinner out for the whole family is a great option too.

Sidewalk chalk – A spring and summer favourite. Some new sidewalk chalk is a perfect non-candy gift. It’s non-expensive and tons of fun. Win-Win. Consider picking up some sidewalk paint for something a little different!  

Gardening supplies and seeds – Do your little ones love digging in the garden? Some gardening gloves, a shovel and a hoe for some gardening fun. Throw in some seeds and pots so they can watch their plants grow!

Fun Non-Candy Easter Ideas!

Books – You can never have enough stories to share. Gift your little one a new edition of their favourite novel or a fun Easter bunny story to read together. Bathtime books are a great gift for younger children.

Figurines – Schleich, Playmobil and Lego have lots of small options for your little one’s Easter basket. Don’t forget to check your local dollar store for their favourites first, sometimes you’ll find these brands in the toy isle.

Glow sticks – Light up the room with some glow sticks and laser rings. These fun toys can be found at the dollar store and are a great non-candy Easter basket idea.

Hair accessories –  Scrunchies, clips and headbands can fill your little one’s Easter basket. Make-up and make-up bags are a good idea for older children. Purses, hats and sandals are also great options for Easter baskets.

Bath toys – Make bath time more fun! A new rubber ducky, small watering can or floating book is always a fun non-candy gift idea for kids.

Games – A board game for the whole family or a new card game to learn. Or consider a fun game for spring and summer like a bean bag toss or frisbee.

Jewelry – A necklace with a favourite character, Easter earrings or a headband. There are endless options when it comes to jewelry, from inexpensive to more precious.

Bubbles. Bubbles, bubble blowers or bubble wands. There are so many fun and inexpensive bubble ideas that kid love. Fill a bubble themed bucket for them

Pool and beach supplies. Summer will soon be here. Pool and beach toys and gear are great Easter gift ideas. Think goggles, floaties, towels, a new suit or some fun sunglasses! 

Bubbles, Chalk, Glow Sticks – So many options to choose from!

 Sports gear. Do you have a little one that loves sports or is part of a team? New sports gear can be a fun non-candy surprise on Easter morning.

Cooking supplies. Cooking supplies, an apron or a cookbook for those little ones that love to be in the kitchen.

Water bottle – A new water bottle for the summer holidays is a great and practical option for a non-candy option.

Experiences. A fun family day out or a trip to the aquarium, or museum can be a fun gift, instead of something that goes into a basket.

Craft or new art supplies. Being bloggers who love kids’ crafts, we love this idea. Gift your little one a new craft or supplies for their favourite crafting activity. Paint brushes, paints, crayons, paper, scissors or a colouring book. You can’t go wrong with a basket full of creative fun!

These Easter Bunny pots can be painted any colour, something to keep in mind when your shopping for supplies. Each dollar store has slightly different materials each season, so you never know exactly what you’ll find — especially when considering the bunny ears!

There are so many different bunnies to create. It’s cute to see what everyone comes up with, their individual choices are adorable!

After a trip to the dollar store, be sure to place some paper down on your crafting surface, because this craft gets messy!

What do you need to make Easy Easter Bunny Pots?

• Easter bunny ears
• Clay pots – medium in size but big enough to support your bunny ears.
• Child friendly paints – in any colour!
• Paint brushes
• Two medium Pom Poms
• One small Pom Pom
• Pipe cleaners
• Googly eyes
• Ribbon or other accessory
• Hot glue gun with glue or child safe glue for the littles

How to make an Easy Easter Craft for Kids to Make

• Firstly, paint the clay pot in the desired colour.
• Set it aside to dry. It won’t take long to dry.
• Using a glue gun or child safe glue add the googly eyes, PomPom nose and muzzle, whiskers and accessories
• Set aside to dry
• Add the cute bunny ears using glue (allow to dry again!)
• When all the glue has dried, fill your pot with delicious Easter goodies!

Easy Tutorial!

Firstly, paint the clay pot in the desired colour. Then set it aside to dry — the hardest part for the little ones. But don’t worry, the clay pot absorbs moisture and the paint will dry fairly quickly!

When the pot is dry, add the facial features!

Using a glue gun or child safe glue add the googly eyes, PomPom nose and cheeks.

Create your bunnies whiskers using pipe cleaners. Wrap the pipe cleaner around a pencil to create curls, then cut the pipe cleaner into small pieces and glue them onto the bunny, just under the cheeks.

Take your time and allow the glue to dry completely when finished.

Remove the bunny ears from the headband or hair clips. Some are glued on and only need to be pulled off and some need to be removed with scissors.

Add the cute bunny ears using glue (this step is definitely easier when using a hot glue gun).

Remember to take your time and allow the glue to dry completely when finished.

Finally, fill your bunny with yummy Easter treats and enjoy!!

What do you need to make a Pop Up Paper Plate Chick Kids Craft?

• Coffee mug (to trace the chick’s head)
• Pencil
• Yellow construction paper
• Small piece of orange construction paper
• Yellow feathers
• Paper straw
• Two paper plates
• Scissors
• All purpose glue
• Black marker for the eyes
• Easter “filler” for inside the paper plate egg

How do you make a Pop Up Paper Plate Chick Kids Craft for Easter?

• Trace half of a coffee mug onto the yellow construction paper, cut this out for the chick’s head
• Draw two wings onto the yellow construction paper and cut them out
• Draw and cut out a small triangle beak
• Glue the wings and beak to the half circle shaped head
• Draw some eyes, using a black marker or paint pen
• On the back of the head, glue some feathers on the top and the paper straw on the bottom, set aside to dry
• Cut one of the paper plates in half, with a cracked egg appearance
• Glue the two plates together, but be sure not to glue the bottom of the plates (see our video for a tutorial!). Allow the glue to dry.
• Finally, put the chick into it’s egg!! Use the paper straw to move it up and down

Firstly, use a coffee mug to create a half circle for the chick’s head. Then, draw two smaller half circles for the wings. Cut them all out. Using the orange construction paper cut out a small triangle beak. Next, glue them all together, see the picture below for an example. Set them aside to dry.

Next, turn it around and glue some feathers on the top and the paper straw on the bottom. Once again, set them aside to dry. Then draw the chick’s eyes in with a dark marker. Googly eyes or stickers will also work great!

Cute and Easy Pop Up Paper Plate Chick Kids Craft

Now for the egg! Cut one of the paper plates in half, using a zigzag pattern. Glue the plates together by placing one on top of the other. Remember to leave the bottom of the plates without glue so the paper straw will fit in (see our tutorial video above!)

Once the paper plates are dry, add some optional filler inside of the egg.

Finally, put the chick inside the egg, wiggle it around and watch the chick pop-up from it’s egg!

What You’ll Need:

• Eggs
• Spray paint
• Gold, white and navy paint
• Brushes
• Stamps
• Ink pad

Spray paint some eggs in blue and leave some white. The blue will take a few coats so patience is key here, be sure to let them dry completely between layers. We have a lot of snow right now (and it wasn’t too cold out, spray paint doesn’t like the cold) so we used it as a stand to hold up our eggs, but a block of Styrofoam will work too.

Use an ink pad to stamp multiple pictures all over the some of the eggs. When stamping, gently roll the stamp onto the egg, this will help leave a full image and stop the stamp from slipping. Do half the egg, let dry, and then do the other side.

Paint colour blocks in white or blue onto the eggs and let dry.

Add gold to the eggs in various shapes and stripes.

Display the Easter eggs in a vase, terrarium, or bowl and then let your modern Easter decorating begin. Happy Crafting!

What you’ll need:         

• Orange felt – the thicker the better
• Burlap ribbon
• Coloured thread and needle
• Hot glue gun and sticks
• Green paint and sponge

Draw three carrots onto some orange felt and then cut them out.

Use the embroidery thread to make lines through the carrot, add as many lines as you like.

Glue the carrots together at the tops, overlapping slightly, so the carrots spread out. Add some burlap ribbon by piling it on top of itself to create volume.

Add a green bow.

If you like, sponge some light and dark green paint onto the burlap ribbon and let dry, in order to create some depth to the plain ribbon.

Enjoy your new Easter door decoration and Happy Crafting!
