What's In Our Toddler Easter Basket

The Easter Bunny is hopping his way through our house tonight.  Yes, we do all fictitious people in our house.  Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, etc.  We also do the true meaning behind all of the holidays, but what is childhood without magic??  Kids only get to be little once, why not fill it with as much magic as possible?  So tonight I thought I'd share what we put into our toddlers Easter Basket.

Sorry for the poor picture quality, but I'm not a photographer (and also sorry for the brown carpet, believe me, we hate it!)  To start, both Sarah and Haley have the same bunny basket with their name embroidered on the ear.  I ordered them last year and still think they are so cute!  Now for the filling we stuck with mostly toys because we will be doing an egg hunt with Sarah's cousins tomorrow where they will get plenty of treats.  On the left are Snug Bugs by B. toys.  Sarah is really into putting things together and taking them apart, so I thought these would be fun for her.  Plus, they are cute little bugs and butterfly's so they are spring(ish).  Next, are some chalk-a-doos.  I picked these up at dollar tree.  We've not really introduced the whole writing thing to Sarah yet, so that will be a fun outdoor activity (If spring ever decides to show up...).  Then I picked up a little thing of bubbles from Wal-Mart.  It has a spill proof toddler container.  Since we have little miss independence, I know that she will want to carry her own bubbles to play with, so that will be fun! (Again, spring we are patiently waiting for you...)  Then are a couple of Disney fruit crisp packs (to fill the sweet treat category).  And to top the whole basket off is a little yellow duck from Kohl's.  Nothing super fancy, but all things I know she will really love!

And here is the basket all put together.  As previously mentioned, we will be doing an egg hunt for Sarah and her little cousin who are about the same age.  Here's what we put in their eggs:

 

 

Starting with the back row left and moving clockwise: Mariani Yogurt Raisins, Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Colors, Gerber Graduates Fruit and Veggie Melts (Very Berry Blend), Stretch Island Fruit Chews (oh so very strawberry), and Starburst Jelly Beans.  We also threw in a few plastic necklaces and stickers.  We kept it pretty simple with tried and true toddler favorites.  We've never given Sarah any kind of candy, so we'll see if she likes them.  I plan on cutting them in half and/or smooshing them so they are easy for her to chew.  But yeah, that's what we are giving to our toddler for her Easter treats.  Hoppy Easter!!!!!!!!
