    If you are anything like me you do not want to have your kids hyped up on a ton of candy on Easter morning. Instead, our Easter bunny tends to lean heavy on non-candy Easter gift items like toys, games, and books. We try to make sure there is a nice balance and of course they get candy but not insane amounts. These ideas are perfect for kids ages 4/5-10.

    Easter Basket Tips & Tricks

    Over the years I’ve learned a few tips and tricks when assembling Easter baskets.

    • Filler Eggs – My kids love all things “surprise” so I try to buy jumbo filler eggs to place some candy and/or toys in them.
    • Test Run – I always do a test run to make sure I have enough and/or everything will fit.
    • Hide the Baskets – Our Easter bunny hides baskets so it makes it a fun game to try and find their basket.
    • Buy Early – I try to buy a month prior to Easter that way I’m not rushing last minute and have very little to pick from. Easter always seems to creep up on me.
    • Pick a theme – Some years I like to pick a theme. Pictured above are last years baskets. I picked a swim theme since we needed new swim toys for the pool! Other years I have picked a theme based on a specific toy or character that the kids liked.
