What to put in the Easter Basket - 2014 Thread

Since this question is asked so many times I thought it would be good to create thread that we can all follow.

I think it would be helpful if you list your child's age and what you are putting in their Easter Basket this year.

I haven't even started thinking about this yet. But I imagine this thread will become very helpful when the time comes!

Can't wait to hear everyone's ideas. I've pinned a few different things on Pinterest, but that's it.

I have put;
Bubbles
Coloring books
Crayons
Sidewalk chalk
Play doh
Jump rope
Kite
Rain boots with gardening gloves and kids gardening tools
Crafts
Fishy crackers
Pretzels

Re: What to put in the Easter Basket - 2014 Thread

well... lets see 5yrs old

Pez
Chalk
chocolates

That's it. She's getting this huge tube thingie that has all sorts of crafty princess stuff in it (got it at Sams for $10) so that should be enough. She's got a girl scout thing the day before and I KNOW auntie will pour crud on her so I am not going to bother.

She is all excited to put her dress on again. Target now has those gloves I was looking for a month ago so I got her 4 pair, two in each color so she could play dress up with her BFF and spare in case. So she wants to wear her gloves and hat for easter.

My kids are getting a frozen t-shirt, crocs, one bag of avengers eggs that I'll split between the two, new water bottles, a chocolate bunny. Imho the name of the game is to put spring/ summer items you were buying anyway. My kids get so much crap from everyone else. Last year I actually didn't even do baskets for them but they still got three each from family members.

DS is 27 months, this is what I put in his basket:
Sidewalk chalk, bubbles, goldfish, mini chips ahoy cookies, toy dinosaur,
Matchbox car and a few plastic Easter eggs with a dollar bill in each one, he loves putting money in his piggy bank. I didn't get much at all because my in laws usually go overboard with his basket.

8month old DD is getting

-sunglasses
- sun hat for the beach this summer
-bubbles
-watering can
-hair bow
-puppet
-board book

I am wrapping it up in cellophane because I know that is what she will enjoy most in that moment.
Realistically all these items she would have needed/gotten anyway I just decided to give her a basket since we will be celebrating with other young children so I wanted her to be included.

DD (5) and DS (3) both wanted watches they saw in Children's Place. I was thinking of throwing that in there, coloring books, and I am hoping to raid the dollar bins at Target.
