Chocolate lovers can choose from milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate candies. Marshmallow is also a popular Easter confection. There are colorful marshmallow birds, bunnies and other animal shapes to snack on.
Toys
If you are looking to give your child a gift for Easter, you have many options. Some of the best toys you can give are those that allow for imaginative play. dolls and toy cars are favorites, and there are many pink and yellow toys that can fit under an Easter theme. When selecting toys for an Easter basket, should you wish to make one up, choose one that will fit in the basket and leave enough room for other goodies.
Baskets
Once you have your candy and toy selections made, then you can consider putting together an Easter basket for your child. Basket options available include traditional, licensed and personalized baskets. Traditional Easter baskets are woven rattan and are colored brightly or painted. Licensed Easter baskets take many forms with some being a pail and others being the head, body or both of popular characters. Personalized baskets can be from all types and have your child's name on it.
To create a special Easter basket for your child, choose the type of basket you think is most appealing to your child, follows a theme you are happy with or is kindest to your wallet, the choice is yours. Next, add some colored Easter basket grass filler to the bottom and sides of the basket. Add the toy or toys you have selected to the basket as well as some of the candy. Fluff the grass filler so that you can put some of the smaller items into the grass. Then add some of the larger items on top, making sure to not overload it. The basket should be full but be able to stand up on its own without toppling over.
Kids' clothes
When you were a kid, chances are you probably got at least one new outfit for Easter and wore it proudly the entire day. You can do the same for your little boy or girl by choosing something from our vast selection of baby, toddler and children's clothes.
When selecting clothes, light and flowery colors are suitable for little girls. dresses, blouses and skirts are ideal for little girls while onesies or dresses are suitable for baby and toddler girls.
