No Spill Bubbles
No Spill Bubbles: I think it’s safe to say that every toddler likes bubbles and usually they want to blow them themselves. These are perfect for little ones to do on their own without having to worry about them dumping all of the solution out. Just buy a large bubble solution container to refill them.
T-Ball Set
T-Ball Set: We got this t-ball set last summer and it has been a hit for warm summer nights. The balls and bat are lightweight so little hands can easily hold them and it’s a great way to enter the world of sports. It might be a little big for an easter basket, but I don’t think anyone would be too upset by that.
Toy Rocket Launcher
Toy Rocket Launcher: This has been my mom’s go to gift for neighborhood kids and it honestly doesn’t matter the age. Kid’s love this thing and they can play for hours, launching the rockets and chasing after them. This is best played with in a large, open are.
Kid’s Gardening Tools
Kid’s Gardening Tools: Of course, your kids can use the gardening tools you already have at home, but if you want to get them their own set, this one has great reviews and has all the basics. Even if you aren’t going to have a garden, it is still fun for them to just dig in the dirt and rocks!
Yoto Cards
Yoto Cards: If you’re new around here, you might not know about my obsession with our Yoto Player. You can WATCH MY WHOLE REVIEW about the kid’s audio player here. But if you do have one, Yoto cards are always a fun gift and the Yoto can be played all over, even outside while your little one is busy doing something while they listen.
Sun Hat
Sun Hat: Sun hats are a necessity in the summer so why not get a cute one with a smiley face? I love the brim that goes all the way around and that you can cinch it under their chin to keep it from falling off.
Kid’s Fanny Pack
Kid’s Fanny Pack: This mini fanny pack is not only adorable, but also functional! My toddler can carry around his own toys and snacks and get them out whenever he wants.

Dump Truck
Dump Truck: The possibilities are endless when it comes to a dump truck. They can hold toys, dirt, sand, mud, whatever and kids love pushing them around as they make up their own world and storyline.
Toss and Catch Velcro Set
Toss and Catch Velcro Set: This toss and catch game is so fun for young kids and older kids. The whole catcher is velcro so the ball will stick as long as it touches. And because of the wider surface, even toddlers can play.
Sand Toys
Sand Toys: Sand toys are great for the beach but also the desert. I like this set because it doesn’t have a million pieces so you don’t have to worry about losing them or having to store a huge mess of toys.
Sidewalk Chalk
Sidewalk Chalk: If you don’t already have sidewalk chalk, this is an inexpensive option with a lot of color choices. Draw flowers with your kids, teach them hopscotch, or watch them express their own creativity.
Bug Net
Bug Net: I got my toddler a bug net last spring and it came with us on every hike for months. He loved going on a bug hunt and we had so much fun talking about the different critters we might see on the trail. It was an awesome motivator to keep moving to see what else we could find.
Springtime Books
Springtime Books: Any book would be a wonderful gift in an easter basket. If you are into themes, the Little Blue Truck Springtime book is wonderful. I have also given The Tale of Peter Rabbit on Easter as well.
Kid’s Sunglasses
Kid’s Sunglasses: These sunglasses are polarized, extremely hard to break, and come in so many fun colors. I bought them on a whim before we went to Hawaii and I have no regrets.
Popsicle Molds
Popsicle Molds: Nothing screams summer like homemade popsicles. Make your own yogurt, fruit, or dessert pops with your kids on a warm day and enjoy them right out on your back porch.
