Easter can symbolize spring, new beginnings and discovery. Celebrating Easter with an Easter basket is a long-standing tradition for many families that is really fun! We have ideas for all ages of things your kids will love!
Easter baskets can be a way for families to spend time together. Older children are welcome to help prepare and decorate the baskets or hide them for younger siblings. For many families, giving and receiving Easter baskets is a long-standing tradition that continues well into their teens and beyond. Older children may enjoy being part of this tradition and feeling connected to their family and community.

Young children love surprises and discovering new things, and an Easter basket full of little toys and treats can provide just that. It’s also fun to add special treats that toddlers don’t get every day to make it even more special.
