Non-candy Easter Basket Fillers








  • Sidewalk Chalk. Pottery Barn has chalk shaped like eggs.
  • Easter themed PJ's.  I've seen adorable sets at Gap Kids, The Children's Place, Chasing Fireflies, Carters.
  • Stuffed bunny.  The options were endless on Etsy.
  • For little girls, hair accessories.  The example I have shown is from BirdieBabyBoutique.
  • Little cuties & other favorite snacks.
  • Board books: kids Bible, Easter themed books, traditional Peter Rabbit.
  • Bath toys: paints, bubble makers, squirt toys.
  • Wooden Puzzles.  Melissa & Doug have the best in my opinion.
  • Sippy cups. I found the adorable personalized one from Monkeyseeboutique on Etsy. Target has some adorable Bunny cups with straws.
  • Rain boots. These are Hatley.
  • Easter themed Coloring Books. These are from Personalizationmall.com
There are tons of alternatives to candy: bubbles, DVD's, placemats, new bibs, plastic eggs filled with your children's favorite small snacks (paleo ideas: blueberries, shredded coconut, coconut melts, paleo granola, dried fruits) (non paleo ideas: cheerios, goldfish), stickers & stamps, kites, pinwheels, etc. 

You can start a tradition of themed baskets i.e. Rainy Day: Rain boots, rain coat, umbrella, items for things to do inside on a rainy day.  Bunny theme: everything in basket pertains to bunnies.
