Baby’s first Easter basket is one of my favorites to put together! I know they have no clue what is going on but who can resist all the cute baby stuff? I know I can’t. This Easter basket for baby gift guide has my top 10 favorites from past Easter baskets I put together for my kids.

Stuffed Animal or Doll

Babies (and toddlers!) can always use another stuffed animal right? My number one favorite brand of stuffy is Jellycat. They are soft, cuddly and last forever! We have had several of ours for 6 years now. Another idea for a little one in your life is a Stella doll. Fully stuffed with no “hard parts” they are perfect for babies and toddlers.

Rattle

These adorable rattles fit perfectly into an Easter basket for baby and they are highly entertaining to any baby!

Soft Blanket

A cozy soft blanket is a great addition to an Easter basket. Even though it’s Spring baby will still appreciate cuddling up with this blanky in the ever changing spring weather.

Bath Toys

One thing I never thought much about were bath toys. Until my kids could sit up in a bath and I realized “hey wait something is missing!”

Board Books

No child can have to many books. Plus the benefits of reading to children are too numerous to list here. So add a book to your Easter basket for baby.

Teethers

Teething sucks! Why not add a cute teether to help ease babies painful teeth. These three teethers are favorites in our house.

Pacifier Clip

We were always losing the pacifiers until I found clips. GAME CHANGER. I especially love the pacifier clips that double as a teether. Like this set

Wubbanub Pacifier

Another solution to the lost paci problem is these adorable animal pacifiers. They are easy to find because of the size and my kids loved holding them.

Baby Toys

What’s an Easter basket for baby without a toy? Mortimore the Moose was a random find when my son was 9 months old and he has been a hit for years now. I can’t explain why but every child loves him.

Moccasins

Last but certainly not least, baby moccasins! Holy moly I just think babies in these little shoes are so stinking cute! And with soft bottoms, babies’ feet can still grow properly! Definitely add them to Easter Basket for baby.

Check out my other Easter basket ideas for preschoolers

Ever since I had my son, I started the Easter basket tradition. His very 1^st Easter I had no idea what I was doing. Over the years I managed to come up with some easy and fun options for young kids. Including activities for the outdoors is a must since April is when the weather starts warming up for us. I also like to include something for them to read and something they need. These preschool Easter basket ideas works for boys and girls!

Jump Rope

This item was a specific request by my kiddo for Christmas one year but I didn’t want him jumping rope inside so I waited for the Easter bunny to deliver it. The one I purchased is no longer available but these two are great options! (I have this one coming for my daughter this year!)

Bubbles

Every year I include bubbles of some kind. With spring just around the corner it always feels like the perfect small, and easy outdoor activity. My personal favorite is a bubble gun. No spilled bubble solution and I don’t have to stand around blowing on a stick. Don’t forget the bubble solution.

Sidewalk Chalk

Another super simple and fun spring activity is sidewalk chalk. I take Easter as an opportunity to replenish our stock for the spring and summer.

Tegu Magnetic Blocks

These magnetic wood blocks are great to keep in a diaper bag (or purse) for the car or at restaurants. I purchased them on a whim during prime day and I am so glad I did!

Frisbee

Frisbees are so much fun! I had forgotten until we played with some friends at their house. Great way to get active outside!

Easter Books

You can never have too many books, so I always include one in each of the kids Easter baskets. They are usually Easter or spring themed books such as these three.

Card Games

Small to fit in an Easter basket and fun to play. What more do I need to say?

Card Holder

If you have any kid games that require them to hold their cards you need this handy tool.

Board Games

Educational board games are my favorite. They are fun and kids don’t even realize they are learning. Amazing. Alphabet bingo is one that we even take camping and when we travel. Mental Blox go is also portable!

Puzzles

There are so many benefits of puzzles for kids which is why they make a great Easter basket gift! These adorable travel size ones also will actually fit in those small Easter baskets.

Travel Game

Melissa and Doug make extremely high quality toys and these to games are no different I have both of these for my kids and they have survived for years. I love toys that I know will last!

Playdough

A staple in our house. Easter is another great opportunity to stock up on that dwindling supply of playdough.

Art Kit

You can never go wrong with a good craft or art kit for kids. I have yet to meet a child who doesn’t enjoy being creative!

Flashcards

Educational and fun! What more could you ask for?

Stuffed Animal

We have a mountain of stuffed animals of all kinds but the Jellycat brand is by far my absolute favorite. I think we have about 9 now.

Squishy Ball

These are just fun and kinda gross.

Now we get to the list of “something they need” items. I like to include one of these maybe not so fun items each year because well they do need them usually and why not try to make them fun.
