What do you put in a boys Easter basket?

It really depends how much time (and money) you want to devote to his Easter basket. With my kids, I typically put a few different trinkets in there. I’ll always include a chocolate Easter bunny (it’s tradition), a few other candy goodies, and then a toy or two. I try to put in one educational activity and then more of a “fun” mindless thing.

For example, sometimes I’ll include a fun card game that can be played with the whole family along with a fidget toy. Or, one year i did Mad Libs and then some Star Wars legos that he absolutely loved.

It really just depends on your kids’ interests!

And don’t forget – you can always go DIY and make your own Easter basket too!
