If you will be playing the role of Easter bunny this year, you have no doubt already scored the requisite jellybeans and chocolate eggs. However, if you’re interested in filling up those baskets without putting your children into a sugar-induced mania, check out these ideas for cute, creative (and just plain weird) basket-stuffers. — Lindsay Armstrong
Most Cuddly
Oh my goodness! This is one cute, snuggly little bunny. He reminds me a bit of the Velveteen Rabbit. If bunnies aren’t your thing, don’t worry. They also have a lamb, a duck, a frog, and a pig, all perfect for spring.
Best for Babies
This sweet burp cloth is great for even the littlest Easter baskets! Again, available in a wide range of cute baby animal designs.
Most Useful
After getting kids all wired up on sugar, it’s good to give them a fun, outdoor activity to do. That’s where these come in handy. Cute Easter themed bubble bottles and egg-shaped sidewalk chalk are not too small for little hands.
Most Disturbing
Remember Make-a-Scene stickers? All of the stickers share a common theme and you can build a little picture with them. They’re so fun and cute and not emotionally scarring…except when the sticker theme is “crucifixion and entombment.”
Best Non-Egg Treasure Hunt
Get all of the fun of searching for treasures without the pain of hiding them with this adorable, duck-shaped, I-Spy bag. There is also an easier version for younger children.
Most Blatant Attempt at Making a Non-Easter Item Holiday Friendly
Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like the words “bunny” and “missile” don’t belong together in a single product description. Besides, plastering a smiley face on a Nerf-like football does not a bunny make.
Grossest/Coolest
Ok, ok, so maybe exploding frogs have nothing to do with Easter, but these soaps are just plain fun and guaranteed to get you candy-sticky kid into the tub.
Best Bang for Your Buck
These beautiful, egg-shaped crayons are made from recycled materials, easy for small hands to grasp, and are really works of art in and of themselves. This is one egg that will last you long past Easter.
Best Eggs for Huntin'
These adorable, nature inspired eggs are perfect for an outdoor hunt.
Happy Easter, everyone!
