baby & toddler Easter basket fillers 🐰✨
Here’s what i’m adding to my 14 month old’s Easter basket! I always try to find things that are cute, affordable and durable that can also be used year round. We love having lots of ways to express art and creativity so the finger paints, egg chalks and egg crayons were probably my favorite finds!

When creating Easter baskets for babies and toddlers, it’s essential to focus on items that are not only engaging but also safe and durable enough for little hands. One of the best additions I've found are sensory-friendly art supplies like vegetable-based powder paints, egg-shaped chalk, and crayons designed specifically for toddlers. These supplies encourage creativity and fine motor development without exposure to harsh chemicals, making them a perfect fit for early childhood play. Another great filler is soft plush toys, such as little chicken companions. These toys provide comfort and gently introduce the concept of pretend play, which is vital for social and emotional growth at this stage. Nuby's carrot-shaped silicone teethers are also a practical yet adorable choice, helping soothe sore gums while fitting the Easter theme perfectly. Incorporating books like "Happy Easter, Mouse!" by Sandra Boynton or Laura Numeroff titles brings calm moments to the day and supports early language skills. Adding a portable handheld fan can keep toddlers cool and entertained, serving a dual purpose. For healthy snacking, organic fruit and veggie puffs like those from Once Upon A Farm are a thoughtful inclusion. They satisfy snack cravings in a nutritious way and add variety to the basket. Overall, these items make Easter baskets an opportunity for year-round enjoyment, creativity, and developmental support—an approach I highly recommend to any parent or caregiver preparing for the holiday season.
