Baskets for Baby

Babies can't partake in egg hunts but can still receive a basket they'll love. Fill a fabric basket with baby food in their favorite flavor and bath and teething toys. For a fun activity on Easter day, add food coloring to vanilla pudding to make edible finger paint.

Baskets for Toddlers

Toddlers are a fun age on Easter because of the plethora of gift options out there. Skip the candy, and fill baskets with bubbles, small games, sippy cups and chalk. Include their favorite items like dolls, toy cars or board books.

Baskets for Preschoolers

Allow your preschooler to express their creativity, and fill their baskets with Easter-themed masks they can color and personalize. Take a sippy cup to the next level with silly straws in bright colors, and fill eggs with small toys like stamps, wind-up toys and bubble rings.

Pre-School Construction Worker

Know a pre-schooler dead set on a career as a construction worker? Send them down that career path with all things Tonka.

Kindergarten Kitten Lover

If you aren't ready to adopt a family kitten but want to give your kitten-obsessed kindergartener what they want, fill a basket full of kitten-themed crafts, puzzles and toys.

Baskets for First Graders

Keep your first graders busy on Easter with an activity-filled basket. Choose a color scheme like neon, and fill the basket with sidewalk chalk, paint, bubble wands, clay, stickers and stamps. To help them express their individuality, include hair extensions, temporary tattoos, nail polish or shoelaces.

Baskets for Tweens

A basket for a tween can be difficult since they've likely outgrown the Easter tradition.

Add headphones, makeup or grooming tools for an extra surprise.

Middle School Mani

Nail polish fits perfectly inside a plastic Easter egg. Fill each egg with a different color polish, and include other manicure essentials.
