Healthy Easter Basket Ideas
Easter baskets don’t have to be full of
chocolate and peeps. Here are some great ideas that will fill your
Easter basket without all the extra fat and sugar.
Bubbles
What child doesn’t love to blow bubbles?
Grab a couple of bottles of bubbles for this year’s Easter basket. The
kids will have a blast with them and with a little luck it will be
warm enough outside to keep them busy and running around chasing
bubbles for quite some time.
Sidewalk Chalk
Another fun treat is sidewalk chalk.
This is the perfect time to draw on the sidewalk with the weather
warming up. Plus we get enough rain in the spring that your driveway
or sidewalk won’t be decorated for too long.
Homemade Playdough
Make some playdough using your favorite
homemade playdough recipe (we have one at kinderinfo.com). Get a
couple of small playdough toys to go along with it and let the fun
begin.
Toys from the Dollar Store
You can also pick up some very
inexpensive toys at the dollar store. I have found anything from
Easter themed coloring books to kites in there. This is also a great
place to shop for the Easter baskets themselves, as well as some
plastic Easter eggs that are great for hiding small trinkets and
treats.
Of course every child should have some special treats in the Easter
basket as well. Along with the obligatory chocolate bunny, include
some healthier treats.
Chocolate and Yogurt Covered Raisins
Both chocolate and yogurt covered
raisins look like little mini Easter eggs and are a yummy treat. Fill
a small cellophane bag with these sweet treats and tie a pretty bow
around it.
Trailmix with Jellybeans
Mix some low sugar cereal like Chex, or
Cherios with some small pretzels, peanuts, raisins, and some
jellybeans for an Easter inspired Trail Mix. You don’t have to feel
bad about your kids filling up on this. Pour your trail mix in a small
bag, or fill some large plastic Easter eggs with the mix.
