Easter Basket Ideas for Toddlers
Your toddler will love a fun Easter basket just like any child. Due to his or her young age, however, there are certain factors you will want to take into account to make sure that the basket is not only enjoyable but safe for your toddler. Consider the following fun ideas.
Stuffed animal Easter basket
Many toddlers love stuffed animals. A great deal of these are not approved for children under 3, however, so be sure to find dolls that are specifically made for all ages. Usually they are bigger and without the hard plastic eyes. You can find one that is of a bunny to get in the spirit of Easter. Cute like chicks or other baby animals can also help to signify spring and new birth. You can include a variety of different stuffed animals with which the child can play.
In addition to stuffed animals, you can also include some fun puppets of a bunny or other animals. These can make a wonderful tool for you to play with your baby.
Easter basket of books
It is wonderful to read to toddlers. It can help them develop and is just plain fun. Books can be the theme of your Easter basket. You can include books on Easter, books on spring or just general books. Some books you may want to include are Easter Egg Hunt (Razzle Dazzle Books) by Chuck Murphy or those in the Disney Princess Book Basket by Disney, both available from www.amazon.com.
Eclectic Easter basket
You may want to make a gift basket with a variety of different things for your toddler. You can include a fun rattle or toy appropriate for his or her exact age. Bunny slippers for his or feet can be cute. A girl may love a pretty princess skirt or wand to pretend that she is a fairy. A little purse or gloves can be perfect for a little girl. A little boy may love a shiny new ball. Think about what your toddler likes and make a basket combing the different elements.
