20 Fun (and Age Appropriate) Easter Basket Ideas for Babies

It’s so easy to shop for older kids’ Easter baskets. But what about baby? This mom of 3 wades through the fluff to share 20 age-appropriate Easter basket ideas for babies.

Easter basket ideas for babies: 20 items for Baby's first Easter basket

 

 

It’s so easy to shop for Easter basket ideas for any kid over the age of 2.

There’s always some kind of candy or treat that kids will love, and tons of non-candy ideas to reduce the sugar intake. But what about the baby?

I was left wondering about this the other day when I realized that I’ll have to do something for E. If he didn’t have older siblings, it wouldn’t be an issue. But knowing my girls, they would be quite upset if they got gifts from the Easter bunny but E’s first Easter basket was left empty.

That said, he really doesn’t need much from the bunny this year. I might scream if another stuffed animal enters this house and there’s no way he’s getting jelly beans and candy like his sisters.

Luckily, I’ve done this a couple times already, so I thought it would be helpful to pull together a realistic list of items that are useful and fun Easter basket ideas for babies. Some of these are items we already have, some are items that will actually be in E’s basket this year.

20 Age-Appropriate Easter Basket Ideas for Babies

Newborn to 6 months:

  • Washcloths
  • Pacifiers (find out which are our favorite)
  • Bibs
  • Bottles
  • Hairbows
  • Decorative cross
  • Baby paper (E loves this!) or tag blanket
  • Growth chart
  • Bug Jug
  • Finger puppets 

6 months to 1 year (in addition to the above):

  • Bath toys (These are cups are so much fun)
  • Yogurt melts/Puffs/Rice rusks
  • Sippy cup
  • Bathing Suit
  • Sun Hat
  • Easter Books
  • Bubbles
  • Amber teething necklace
  • Baby iPod
  • Water mat 
  • Start a birthday journal keepsake 

Bonus: If you want to really spoil your kids, we’re planning on giving E this 4-in-one stroller-to-tricycle combination…but that’s more so we can manage all three kids on family walks without the giant stroller. I guess you could call it a gift to ourselves.

Are you ready for Easter?

    Ooh so cute! My kids get this, and apparently I’m the only one who doesn’t do Easter baskets! I didn’t know they were a ‘thing’ til just a few years ago.

    There’s some awesome ideas here thanks. We usually do winter pyjamas for Easter because the weather is starting to cool down here in Australia.

    We have little “Easter bonnets” for our baby grandgirl and can’t wait to give them to her!

    Great list! This Easter, we’ll have a nearly 6 month old and a not quite 2 year old. They’ll get enough chocolate and treats from other family members, so we like to do non-candy options. Love these ideas. Thanks

    Some great ideas there. After all, the babies and toddlers shouldn’t be left out. One of the pictured ideas, though, might only be advised as age appropriate for older children, and even then, perhaps avoided when there are younger ones in the household. Stick-on, 3-D gemstones as egg decorations, (though colorful, and easy to apply) can be a swallowing/choking hazard for any little one in the household. It doesn’t take but a moment for a bright, shiny jewel to go from egg to mouth if a toddler handles an egg from an older child’s Easter basket… or for a sparkly gem that has fallen off to be found on the floor by a crawling baby.

    What lovely ideas Leslie. I always struggled to find something for my kids”s Easter baskets when they were tiny little tots and it seemed so wrong to give them chocolates eggs. I’ll have to save this for one day when I have grandbabies
