What’s the Best Way to Put Together an Easter Basket with a Bunny?

Anything the child likes - Boy = Cars, Bricks, Tractor, Game. Money,Cards, Book

Girls + Doll, Game, Necklace and Bracelet, Mirror, Book, Hair ornaments.

Hi Candice: My kids loved getting the plastic eggs with money in them. I used $1 bills, and sometimes I stuck in notes with little coupons that I made for them, like "Good for 1 trip to the ice cream store" "Good for 1 time of my making your favourite dessert for dinner" "Good for 1 time of you picking what to have for dinner", Good for 1 time of you selecting what movie we go see." "Good for 1 trip to the store to spend your money however you wish.", etc. They also liked books and, for the girls, jewelry and the boys, age appropriate toys.

I did this and put the Bunny in the middle then plastic eggs with goodies around the edges and match box cars for the boys.

Consider the child you're making the Easter basket for and shop the Dollar Tree for fun small items that fit their personality. Bet you'll find some fun things!

Depending on the size of the bunny, it can hold a small basket with other goodies or if it's a smaller bunny, place inside along with candy or toys. I always added at least 1 book to their baskets.

That sounds like such a fun and sweet surprise! A plush bunny is a great centerpiece for an Easter basket. Here are some ideas to fill the basket with a mix of treats, toys, and fun surprises:

Sweet Treats 🍬

1. Chocolate bunnies or eggs
2. Jelly beans
3. Peeps marshmallow treats
4. Pastel-colored M&M’s or Skittles
5. Homemade or store-bought decorated sugar cookies

Toys & Activities 🎨

1. Easter-themed stickers or coloring books
2. Small puzzles or activity books
3. Sidewalk chalk in spring colors
4. Play-Doh in pastel shades
5. Bubble wands
6. Mini LEGO sets or figurines

Spring-Themed Goodies 🌸

1. Bunny or chick-themed socks
2. Cute hair accessories (for girls) or fun hats
3. Mini gardening kit (small pot, seeds, and soil)
4. Scented hand sanitizer or lotion

Non-Candy Snacks 🥕

1. Mini bags of trail mix or granola bars
2. Bunny-shaped fruit snacks
3. Cheese crackers or goldfish
4. Yogurt-covered raisins

You can personalize each basket based on your kids’ favorite colors, characters, or interests. Adding some Easter grass or shredded paper in bright spring colors will make it extra festive. 🎀🐰🌷

Have you thought about hiding the basket for them to find as an Easter morning surprise? That could add an extra layer of fun! 😊

I always like to add items that are not just candy. ie: card games, jewelry, small bottles of lotion, gift cards, etc.

I would fill the basket with lots of paper grass, place the bunny in the center and then fill in around it with small items they enjoy...toys, balls, dolls, small games, Legos. Dollar Tree usually has a lot of great small things to add.

Include candy, bubbles, stickers, books, and a cute bunny plush!

Hi Candice, hope this helps you. Grab some healthy snacks the kids like and package in snack bags, find gift cards for video games or stores your kids like. Age appropriate toys but not too expensive, and a bit of sweets like eggs bunny or chocolates bars.
