Creative Easter Baskets for Kids + Non Candy Filler Ideas

Looking for some creative Easter basket ideas for kids that aren’t filled with candy?

Easter is right around the corner, and if you’re like me, you’re always on the hunt for creative ways to make your kids’ baskets extra special.
While candy may be the traditional go-to, sometimes it’s nice to mix things up and include items that won’t lead to a sugar rush by mid-morning!

I also am big on adding things that will actually get used! We have a lot of Easter baskets from years before already, so the “basket” not being an actual basket is such a great idea! There is some cute and unique Easter basket ideas listed below as well as a list of non candy Easter basket filler ideas!
