I’m going to be cliche here and say, can you even believe Easter is right around the corner?
Jackson’s already asking about Christmas.
I feel like he’s probably got the right idea because this year is flying.
Easter is coming, whether or not we’re ready to admit that we’re already that far into the year. We’re going to be dying Easter eggs soon, and in just a few weeks it’ll be Easter! Already!
How does that even happen?
We don’t do a ton in the way of gifts for Easter – we spend the day focused more on family and the true meaning of the holiday. But, it’s still a fun tradition to have a little Easter basket, and Jackson is already looking forward to hunting Easter eggs, so we definitely don’t skip it altogether.
I’ve been thinking lately about what I can put in Jack’s Easter basket that isn’t stuffed with sugar or too terribly annoying to have around the house. I don’t want to spend a lot of money on it, and I don’t want it to be too focused on food. But, I still want it to be fun!
I figure I can’t be the only one struggling here.
So, I whipped up this easy list of more than 50 ideas for Easter basket fillers for toddlers and preschoolers.
