Creative Candy Free Easter Basket Ideas
I love Easter and it’s only become more fun since having kids. It’s actually my favorite holiday and I love prepping their Easter baskets. It always seems we’re drowning with candy though, by 10am on a Sunday morning, if I stuff it with candy. They’ll eat it all within an hour. This year, I’m using these fun Candy Free Easter Basket Ideas to fill them with creative ideas that won’t cause a sugar rush!

I like to start collecting a few items each week so I’m not rushed to do it last minute. Some of these ideas are better for pre-teens and some of them are geared towards babies. I love that you can find a lot of these items year round too. That always makes shopping easy. Amazon – if you’re listening – you should bundle items like this together (wouldn’t that be so popular?).
Of course, you can still add some candy! The idea is that you can fill it without using all candy.
