Easter Basket Stuffing Ideas

Every year, I try to help the Easter Bunny in filling my kids Easter Baskets.  I always focus on the fun but non-candy items – I figure that Bunny has the candy part covered just fine.  So I try and find this that will last long then a chocolate kiss or a marshmallow peeps – I used to go to the Dollar Store and buy a bunch of coloring books, silly toys that break after 1 minute of use, stickers (never a good idea…). 

The past 2 years I have changed the way I do things, focusing on things from ARTifacts and other downtown shops so I can give them things that last longer and frankly mean more.   I am going to share with you some of my ideas for my girls.  Maybe you can comment with some of your ideas too – tomorrow I will share ideas for ADULT Easter Baskets!

Headbands from Purple Magnolia – the spring colors she has in her booth right now are sure to match any and all Easter morning outfits you have selected.
