I love coming up with fun and practical Easter basket ideas for babies.
Growing up we always received a Easter basket that had just a few small treats tucked in. The Easter bunny usually brought me a bathing suit, new jelly sandals, a bag of jelly beans, and one of those giant Italian hollow chocolate eggs with the surprise inside.

I loved Easter because it had nothing to do with the Easter basket. My parents weren't regular churchgoers and I loved that we got to go to church on Easter Sunday and listen to the beautiful music. We wore big, puffy dresses and an Easter hat, even gloves some years. After mass we went as a family to the neighborhood lake and feed the ducks before going home to enjoy Easter lunch. At our Easter meal, we played games together with our colored eggs and I loved that even the grownups got in on the fun and competition. Some years we had an Easter egg hunt, but not every year. We talked about what Easter means and I would ask about a thousand questions about God and Jesus.
I want to create memories like that with my kids for Easter. Why has Easter become the new Christmas" It's ridiculous and just feeds into the materialistic lifestyle we all talk about avoiding but don't really avoid. We "Konmari" our homes only to fill them back up with junk again. Well, not me!
I have four kids, and they will all receive Easter baskets this year, even the baby! However, I will fill each basket with items...
