:: Non-Candy Easter Baskets

I found this list on Pinterest and thought it was great for kiddos! My boys are still a little young for this, but it'll be great come next Easter.

Here's a small portion of what the blogger suggested...

Easter Basket Ideas (other than candy):

• Sidewalk Chalk (make your own without any toxic ingredients if you have the time)
• Playdough
• Gak  (another homemade ooze recipe)
• Bubbles
• Crayons (melt old or new crayons down and more into molds for personalized crayons)
• Color books (or print coloring pages from online)
• Spongeballs (great water toy or baby toy. Cheap and easy!)
• Chipmunk or other animals from a glove
• Teddy bears or a socktopuss  from colorful socks
• Letters, shapes, or number sponges for bath time
• Felt Food for play kitchens (Lots of stuff out there!)
• Dinosaur tails for imagination play
• Superhero capes 
• Eggs full or small toys (think plastic dinosaurs, army men, Legos, etc)
• Eggs full of colorful goldfish or cheerios
• Stickers or stamps
• Pencils and stationary
• Art supplies
• Kites
• Balls or other sports equipment
• Make your own airplane kits
• Sippy cups or drink cups
• Puzzles and other games
• Flash cards or playing cards
• Hair or jewelry accessories
• Dress-up items
• New clothes or shoes
• Movies or music (Veggie Tales Jonah DVD is $5 at Target, along with some other kids movies)
• Books and comics
• Sand toys
• Bath toys
• Kids gardening supplies
• Bug catching supplies
• Craft kits

This year, I'll probably go with bubbles, bath toys, summer toys, new shoes (already ordered them) and some of their organic snacks that they love. I recently found the most adorable blue sock monkey Easter baskets for them, too! I always struggled with finding a basket for them that wasn't purple, pink and flowery.
