Spring is the perfect time to refresh your little one’s playtime & activity options. Celebrating Easter is a great excuse to treat your child to something new & special! Whether you’re shopping for a newborn or a busy toddler, these Spring-themed ideas to include in their Easter baskets are parent-approved and kid-loved.
Here are a few thoughtful gift ideas for young kids that are perfect for filling Easter baskets & creating lasting memories:
1. Spring-Themed Pajamas
Soft, breathable, and oh-so-cute! Spring-themed pajamas with bunnies, chicks, and florals are perfect for cozy Spring mornings when the weather is as predictable as your child’s mood 😉 For newborns, look for footed sleepers in organic cotton. Toddlers will love playful two-piece sets they can wear to the egg hunt & around the house.
Pro tip for moms: Match with your little one for the cutest Easter photo opp!
2. Sticker & Activity Books
Keep those tiny hands busy with age-appropriate sticker & activity books. Look for Easter or Spring themed options filled with bunnies, coloring pages, and simple puzzles. They’re perfect for toddlers who are learning shapes, fine motor skills, & how to sit still for more than 5 minutes!
Easter & Beyond: Keep on hand for road trips, church services, or brunch.
3. Personalized Name Puzzle
A beautiful keepsake that’s also educational, include a personalized name puzzle for toddlers learning to spell & recognize letters. Fitting the pieces also promotes motor skill development. Choose pastel or spring-themed designs to tie into the Easter spirit, but keep the toy forever to commemorate the season!
Newborn? Order now and save it for when your baby is ready to play — it doubles as nursery decor in the meantime.
4. Easter-Themed Snacks
Forget the sugar rush – think bunny-shaped crackers, yogurt bites, & toddler-friendly trail mixes. Fill your toddler’s Easter basket with snacks that are fun to eat & safe for their age. Look for organic and allergen-friendly options for peace of mind.
Bonus: It makes snack time a little more festive for both parents and little ones.
5. Outdoor Toys for Spring Playtime
Encourage active play with spring-ready outdoor toys: think sidewalk chalk, bubble machines, mini gardening sets, or a magnified glass to inspect bugs/leaves. These gifts make great Easter basket fillers that get kids outside, moving, & curious about their world.
Go, Go, Go: Moms of toddlers will especially appreciate anything that burns energy post-egg hunt!
6. Bath Toys or Spring-Themed Bath Time Goodies
Make bath time something to look forward to with Easter-inspired bath toys like rubber duckies dressed as bunnies or pastel-colored stacking cups. Bath bombs or bath paint can also make kids beg to bathe! For newborns, a gentle, lavender-scented baby wash or a super soft hooded towel with bunny ears could be perfect.
Secret Motive: try anything that makes their bedtime routine smoother — and cuter.
7. Soft Musical Toys or Rattles
For babies & young toddlers, soft plush toys that play lullabies or chime when shaken are soothing and entertaining. Choose bunny or chick shapes to stay on-theme for Spring/Easter. These small items fit perfectly in a basket and can become a go-to comfort item and easily tuck into diaper bags for when you are on-the-go.
Music exploration: Everything is better with music & touch!
Easter gifts don’t have to be candy-filled or throwaway trinkets. With a little creativity, you can give newborns & toddlers gifts that are playful, practical, and perfect for spring. Whether you’re a mom looking for ideas to fill Easter baskets or a family member shopping to spoil little ones, these Easter and spring-themed basket items are sure to surprise and delight!
