There are a few things that were traditional Easter basket fare growing up for me: a chocolate egg, skittles, peeps, a kite, and sidewalk chalk. As a new mom myself, there are some traditions I’ve kept and some I’ve started anew. I don’t love giving my girls a ton of candy because it usually goes to waste, and let’s be honest, they don’t really need it. I do love giving them gifts that help recenter them on the holiday, get them outdoors, and give them something to remember the holiday. So, here are some non-food ideas for your kid’s Easter Baskets!

If you’re looking to get your kids outdoors, then here are some fabulous finds. I find that it definitely depends on the year as to whether sidewalk chalk is a good idea or not, but my kids are always more resilient than I am when it comes to the cold.
