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! SCROLL DOWN FOR A GIVEAWAY OF THIS BOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST!

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!

Here are a few other ways you could use the above equation to make an Easter basket for the little one in your life…

Good News! It’s Easter! Board Book // Stuffed Bunny // Rabbit Teether // Quinoa Puffs

Holy Week Board Book // Fabric Building Blocks // HABA Teether // HappyTot Squeezie

We Are the Gardeners // Bunny Blanket // Carrot Teether // Peter Rabbit Squeezie

This is Easter Board Book // Toy Eggs // Hedgehog Teether // Happy Baby Organic Yogis

~ GUESS WHAT?! ~

The author of Good News! It’s Easter!, GLENYS NELLIST, reached out to me and asked if I wanted to offer a Giveaway of this precious book to my readers!

Of course I said YES because I love ANY opportunity to get the Good News into the hands of you and your loved ones.  And this little board book is just PERFECT for introducing young hearts to Jesus.

    I 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!

    We 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!”

    We 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!

  • I find myself spending more time looking at the world and the problems instead of looking at these 4 heroes right here. This is what needs our attention. This is where change begins. Spend time praying for them instead of scrolling vanity. Spend time memorizing God’s Truths instead of dwelling on flawed opinion. Spend time laughing and playing and breathing deep the smell of their necks. Spend time teaching and training and living in the ✨light✨. This is the future. God has great things coming.

  • I went to church today. It was so good and so needed. I haven’t been in weeks. It’s funny how I let myself get comfortable with that. I tell myself it’s easier to just watch church at home online. Which is not true because basically every time I do that the children start a wrestling match in the living room while I am trying to listen to the sermon. Or the baby poops during the opening song. Or someone is inevitably injured. But I tell myself how nice it was to not wake up early. How lovely to stay in

  • We got fancy last night for our neighbor’s wedding. ‍♂️The wedding was about an hour drive away, so we had lots of time for car conversations without kids. This usually means that I vomit all the stuff I have been trying to process on my own and Ryan swoops in with a few ultra wise one-liners that talk me off the ledge. Things I learned on the drive... 1. Stop watching the news. Our souls were not made for so much information. 2. Never stop dreaming.
