Hippity, hop! Easter is almost here!

It’s precious to watch the excitement on your child’s face on Easter morning. It’s almost like Christmas. Well, maybe not quite. 🙂 Come learn How to Create the Ultimate Easter Basket that’s sure to bring joy and squeals of delight from the kiddos.

And you know, filling a basket can be just as exciting as receiving one! 🙂

There’s no magic formula, but there are a few things you can do to make your basket unforgettable.

Sometimes it’s easiest to start with a theme. This helps the basket come together in little or no time and be personalized for your child, but it’s not totally necessary. 

Ok, let’s get started.

Pick a Basket

Choose a basket that works for you. You’re sure to find one that’s not only adorable but will also fit all the goodies you can stuff inside. Luckily baskets come in a range of sizes, colors, and textures. Do you need one extra-large or on the small side?

Easter Grass

These shreds come in so many versions and just about every color you can dream of. Match it with the basket or not. It all works.

Plastic Eggs

The timeless addition that no basket is complete without! Fill with candy, stickers, money, or small trinkets. It’s just fun to open them and see what’s inside! There are tons of sizes and colors, so go wild!

Easter Candy

Yes, the Easter candy. There’s never any shortage of candy in the Easter aisle. You can go for Peeps, chocolate, jelly beans, or candy corn. We like making these adorable Peeps on a stick to stuff into Easter baskets.

Pretty Ribbon

The ribbon is just for aesthetic cuteness, but tying a pretty floppy bow to the top of your basket is the perfect finishing touch!
