Baby Zion is 6 months old! I can’t believe he has been with us for a half of a year already! Time is flying. We are racing up on Easter and I wanted to share a few fun items that you could use to put together a simple Easter basket for a baby.
Maybe you have a baby like us or maybe you are a Grandma looking for a way to bless your grandbabies. Or maybe you are about to head to a baby shower. Whatever the case, these ideas are sure to be a hit with the smallest of tikes!
Here is the equation that I followed when putting together these Easter Basket ideas.
Book + Toy + Teether + Snack + Basket
Book >>
Good News! It’s Easter! By Glenys Nellist
This brand new board book is so precious! It introduces the Easter story in a playful and sweet way. Various creatures God made like the bunny and the butterfly find new life with the start of the Spring season. As the book concludes, Jesus is shown as the ultimate example of new life and he offers us the gift of salvation. You will love the message of hope this book offers you and your baby!

Toy >>
Melissa and Doug Stuffed Bunny
I remember when I was little my mom always put a stuffed toy in my Easter basket. Start that tradition with your little one by adding this cuddly bunny by Melissa and Doug.
Teether >>
Grey Bunny Ring
Baby Zion recently cut his first tooth and he wants to put his mouth on ALL THE THINGS. I want to grab him this adorable bunny teether. Perfect for Easter!
Snack >>
Carrot Mango Quinoa Puffs
It’s about time to introduce Zion to solid food! It may take us a few months to get to the point where he will be ready for these puffs, but quinoa? Mango? Carrots? Organic? Sign me up.
Basket >>
Hallmark Large Easter Canvas Bag
Throw the above items in this cute bag and hang it on your child’s nursery door on Easter morning!

April 8, 2019 at 10:13 pmI love these ideas! You gave me some ideas last year from your Christ centered Easter basket, and the joy journey post, I love the verses, and my kids do too! Specifically, we have been doing bedtime devotionals with our kids for Lent, and on Easter they will get an Easter basket with something white, because we are washed white as snow, new sandals for each with the great commission verse attached, and some goldfish with the fishers of men verse attached. I also have a couple books to include, but would love to add to our collection!

April 9, 2019 at 4:28 pmWe have a “real Easter basket” containing many items to remind us of the Palm Sunday to Resurrection Sunday journey Jesus took for us. It contains a cloth that says “Hosanna” and a palm frond, a small communion cup and cracker, a Fisher Price lamb and rooster, coins, a small grapevine wreath (crown of thorns), a small wooden cross, nails, a small square of sponge, dice, perfumed oil, a flat round stone, and a paper angel to declare, “He is risen!”

April 9, 2019 at 6:05 pmWe will use our resurrection eggs and the Bible. We have children ranging from 16 down to 6 mo. Our older children like to do a special egg hunt with our younger ones. They put a verse and puzzle piece in many of the eggs and then work together reading the verses and putting together a new puzzle. I love your ideas for a baby Easter basket! Thank you for the giveaway!
