As a mom of three, I’ve always been in favor of the Easter Bunny leaving baskets of more than just chocolates and treats. Now don’t get me wrong, our kiddos also enjoy a few sweet goodies in their baskets, but we really try to make sure that adorable bunny leaves them useful non-candy treats as well. We take this opportunity to get the kids excited about an upcoming trip, whether it be to the beach, city, mountains, etc. They receive items that they can use on our trip or just in every day life. I hope these lists give you some fun ideas and inspiration for your child’s basket!
