Unique Easter Basket Ideas for Kids
Instead of grabbing the same old wicker Easter basket from the store, switch it up this year! There are so many good ideas that will surely put a smile on your child’s face. My favorite is the kiddie pool for a family with multiple kids or donating one to a daycare/church! Click on the links under the photos to get step by step directions how to make it.
1. Dump Truck Easter Basket – Grab a plastic truck and fill it up with Easter goodies!
2. Kiddie Pool Easter Basket – This is a great idea for families with multiple kids or if you want to REALLY spoil your child!
3. Umbrella Easter Baskets – How neat! Pick out a cute umbrella and open it to fill it up…perfect for spring use after!

15. Frozen String Egg Easter Basket – This was made by Patty Dilday who blew up a balloon and dipped yarn in Elmer’s glue then wrapped it all around it and let dry (could take up to 2 days). Then she popped the balloon and cut an oval in the front to make an opening! Hot glue snowflakes, a crown, and gems all over then fill with Easter goodies!
