As things are slowly settling into this “new normal” here we are getting close celebrate Easter. For many putting an Easter basket together for their little ones can be extra hard this year. But, Easter Basket goodies don’t need to be expensive. Finding fun things and treats to put in my kid’s basket every year doesn’t need to be hard. That’s why you need to check these 10 Great Non-Candy Easter Basket Stuffers Ideas
10 Great Non-Candy Easter Basket Stuffers Ideas
As a parent (I know you guys won’t let me lie) there are two main things we try to avoid at all costs: 1. Wasting money on toys that will end up missing around the house or right at the bottom of the toy bin. 2. Watching our kids jumping off the walls with all the sugar rush because of all the candy in their baskets.
I have a 7-year-old and every year we do our best to fill their Easter baskets with things other than candy. I mean…she’ll definitely get one candy or 2. Trust me, she’ll each get their share of gummy and chocolate eggs, BUT if we can keep the candy on the low that will be a win.
Here are some awesome basket stuffers and themes that won’t break the bank.
