No Junk Easter Basket Ideas

I just love planning and stuffing an Easter basket for our daughter. It just tickles me! Every year I try to think of cute things to give her that isn’t all candy and throw away stuff. Here are some of my best no junk Easter basket ideas!

No-Junk Easter Basket Ideas

Good quality Candy Item

I usually add one nice quality chocolate item, a Lindt bunny, their cute little chocolate carrots, or chocolate tulips.

Handmade ITems

Last year I sewed her this bunny myself, she really loves that thing! It was a one evening project, and came out so cute, even if you aren’t a great sewist.

Here is a list of all the cute, non-junk Easter basket ideas I could come up with:

handmade item like this bunny or this sweet little baby doll
The Donkey Who carried a King book
bubbles ~ I got some no spill ones similar to this at Target. Cheaper though. Or you could make some!
sidewalk chalk
jump rope
books ~ I like I am a Bunny for little ones and Linnea in Monet’s Garden for a bit older
play dough ~ homemade in cute little mason jars, or store bought
diy play dough surprise eggs ~ you could put cute little animals like this in the eggs! They have Toobs at Michael’s and of course you can always use at least a 20% off coupon there.
small excavation kit ~ Here’s a nice one, I found one in the Target Spot for $3
craft kit or project ~ Also check the Target Spot for this type of thing.

flower and veggie seeds to plant themselves
