Easter Basket Filler Ideas

Sharing is caring!

Looking for easy and simple Easter basket filler ideas that don’t include candy?

Here’s a big list of Easter basket fillers for toddlers and little kids.  

Easter is one of my favortie holidays – and I want to make it special and memorable for my kids, as it was for me.

I still remember as a kid seeing my basket on Easter morning.  I don’t remember what I got in every basket – but I remember the feeling I had seeing that basket.  It brought me joy!

While I usually got a basket full of candy on Easter when I was a kid, I try not to give my kids too many sweets. 

So here’s a bunch of ideas that I came up with over the years that have worked well for us!  I do usually throw in some sweets, but little things they can use are also fun to put in Easter baskets!
