Intentional Easter Finds

Even though I haven’t been doing it for very long, I really love creating my kids Easter baskets. With my son only being three it’s still a newer tradition for us, but one I’ve really come to enjoy. We also try to keep things low-waste where we can, reusing the same baskets each year and keeping it simple by layering the basket with one of their baby blankets. It’s something small, but I love the idea that these same blankets will be part of our Easter mornings for years to come. 

Our family has never really prioritized candy or sugar around holidays—it’s just never been the focus for us. Over time, we’ve found ourselves leaning more toward practical things that our kids actually need or will genuinely use. With a three-year-old, we’re focusing a lot on items that support play, imagination, and a bit of independence. For our six-month-old, we kept things more practical—choosing items she’ll grow into and use over time.

For Easter, I like to put together baskets with a mix of things that support both their bodies and their minds—play, comfort, creativity, and everyday life. Intentional choices that feel good, last longer than a day, and fit naturally into our routine. We also use reusable eggs each year and switch up what we put inside them depending on the stage they’re in—when my son was two, the Easter Bunny left him little Hot Wheels tucked inside, which he loved. It’s become a simple way to keep things fun, a bit surprising, and still really exciting for them. Here’s what we included this year in their baskets- I hope this gives you some ideas and inspiration
