Creative Easter Basket Ideas for Kids

Baseball Cap Easter Basket

Use a baseball hat as a basket for an older boy! This genius idea is from The Resourceful Mama. She uses it as a tween or teen boy idea which I agree is a hard one to do some years! With this Easter basket idea, my boys could get things they actually want in their Easter basket.

Paw Patrol Easter Basket

If your kids love Paw Patrol, use a big yellow dump truck as a basket and fill it with all their favorite Paw Patrol toys and snacks. My toddler and preschool age boys would have loved that, but some kids might like more of a traditional Paw Patrol Easter baskets:

Paw Patrol – Chase the Police Dog Easter Basket
Paw Patrol – Marshall the Fire Dog Easter Basket
Paw Patrol – Skye the Flying Dog Easter Basket

Little Wagon Easter Basket

A wagon makes the perfect basket for spring gardening! Add tiny gardening gloves and snacks, too. Frogs, Snails and Puppy Dog Tails has a really fun plan for a full wagon of goodies that boys, girls…and yes even adults will love. Any type of wagon will work:

Grab the traditional Radio Flyer Woodie Wagon
Or if you have someone that needs a stroller, check out the Radio Flyer Convertible Stroller Wagon…is it so cool!
The super popular Step2 All Around Wagon
The Radio Flyer 16.5 Retro Toy Wagon
The Green Toys Wagon orange pull toy
Oh my! Have you seen the My First Kids Toy Wagon for Dolls…cuteness alert!

Tackle Box Easter Basket

For the fisherkids at your house, a tackle box makes such a fun Easter basket filled with goodies! For the babies and toddlers, you can use the My First Tackle Box toy and make a basket out of that. Add in a fun fishing game! Older kids may love the Shakespeare Cosmic Tackle Box in orange or pink.

Shopping Cart Easter Basket

This sweet first Easter basket uses a tiny plastic shopping cart full of fun things a baby would love. They use this as a baby gift, but we thought that the shopping cart idea is really genius for Easter baskets! Here are a few of my favorite toy shopping carts that you could use for Easter:

Umbrella Easter Basket

I remember my first umbrella very clearly. It was blue with white polka dots and a little ruffle fringe around the outside. That is one reason why I love this Fill an umbrella with Easter treats for a spring-themed basket without a basket idea from Primal Dish. Here are some great first umbrella ideas you could use:

Paw Patrol Umbrella with slicker
Oh so many cute themes on this Clear Bubble Umbrella for kids
Disney Princess Umbrellas
Mario Rainwear Umbrella
Animal pop up umbrellas – my favorite is the shark with a shark fin!

Minecraft Easter Basket

Make your own Minecraft creeper box and fill it with all things Minecraft! It looks like that idea used a Minecraft Creeper Head Costume “mask” which is literally a box (we have one so I recognize it) or you could use the Minecraft Creeper Storage Cubes. Whether you go with the Minecraft themed Easter basket, don’t miss out on some of these super cute Minecraft Easter basket stuffer ideas.
