Easter Basket Ideas

I usually post links of RLCW ideas in my Facebook and Instagram stories, but I have been asked numerous times to make a place to house all of the finds that are VERY REAL LIFE ONLY. That is the rule here: Only real life things that I personally use, purchase, or just LOVE.

This year Easter is the Sunday before Spring Break. We are in a season of needing lots of new, appropriate clothing and shoes. We are going to be traveling to see family so most of the items I am grabbing are to be used in the car or on vacation. To me Easter baskets are full of things I would be purchasing anyway for the new season. We LOVE when the Easter Bunny brings a season pass to our favorite local waterpark. We love a good experience gift, too. Here are the items I picked for Calla (8 year old girl) and Cart (3 year old boy.)

Calla:

I had my favorite tee lady make several fun t-shirts. She wears shirts and skirts or shorts daily. I picked up this pack of skorts and the quality is AMAZING, but my favorite part is the length is GREAT! (I am picky about this with Calla.) She is going to LOVE these.

THIS is super fun and very REAL LIFE. Calla loves anything art and drawing. I love that it is teaching her the Bible while she reads it.

THIS is another fun thing to have in the car. She is all about drawing pictures and having Cart color them.

We don’t need another pack of markers but these are super fun to add to the basket. I will never say no to a craft supply.

I did grab these because Pippy and D got a new fancy area by their pool, and I think it will be fun to let them paint some stepping stones for their very sophisticated area. The price is amazing and it is a great activity for outside while we are sitting at the patio.

I hate this stuff, but it is LITERALLY Calla and Cart’s favorite. They will sit at the table for hours and play with this. The price is GREAT and I can split the pack for both of them.

I got 2 packs of these. If you know Calla she lives in little cotton dresses. I love the price and quality. I have also been known to have my embroidery gal slap a C on them to make them fancy. They are soft, cheap, and the length is perfect.

I ordered 2 bathing suits and a pair of slides for the beach and pool. We live at the pool so she will wear these a ton.

This year we don’t need these items but in the past I have also done a new pool towel, sunglasses, nail polish, hair clips, chalk, and an outside toy.

Cart:

This was a great deal for two. The quality is amazing. They are going to the beach with us and then to the sand table outside.

I LOVE him having busy books in the car. I got this set for this year.

I am kinda over the top with fine motor skill development. This is fun and he LOVES cutting paper.

We got this for Christmas. It was PERFECT to pull out on a rainy Saturday.

I got this for my bag when we go to dinner. I love these activities and the water pen books.

I also got Cart some shorts and sandals from a local shop because he is literally too big for everything from last year.

I should add that I do NOT add any candy to their baskets. They will have more than enough from our egg hunt and all of the other treats here and there. I also don’t do stuffed animals. I just can’t.

To be very REAL LIFE I do earn a small commission when you click and shop the links I share. It pays for classroom items, and pays to run this spot on the Internet. I TRULY thank you for supporting this little corner of our field!
