There is a fine art to putting together an Easter basket. Sure, you can just toss in some fake grass and a bunch of candy and call it a day. But for a truly special basket that your kids will remember, you need several elements. Follow these tips below to knock their socks off this Easter Sunday.
- Pick A Basket. There are baskets of all shapes and sizes on the market. You can find different character or vehicle themes. Pick one that fits your child’s preferences. If you want a traditional basket, get one in your child’s favorite color or use grass that is their favorite color.
- Get Some Spring Favorites. I always looked forward to getting bubbles and a kite in my basket. I still remember spending beautiful spring days blowing those bubbles and flying my kite. Be sure to include some fun items to play with outside. Also try sidewalk chalk, Nerf balls and lawn games.
- Start A Tradition. Help your child start a collection. Pick something that your child loves like story books, comic books, baseball caps or figurines and give them a special one each year in their basket.
- Don’t Forget The Goodies. Go ahead and pile on the jelly beans and chocolate bunnies, but don’t be afraid to throw in a few nontraditional treats as well. If your son’s favorite candy is Twizzlers, buy him extra big pack.
- Mark Each Basket With Care. When your family is dying Easter eggs, have each member make a special egg with their name on it. Use that egg to label their basket on Easter morning.
