What are the best Easter gifts for toddlers?
Spring is in the air: birds are singing, frogs are croaking, and the temps are getting warmer. It makes it the perfect time to start thinking about Easter gifts for toddlers.
Maybe you’re thinking, don’t kids just get a basket of candy and we call it a day. That may be true if you have older kids, or you don’t mind your kiddo running on a sugar high until summer. Giving small gifts, rather than all that sugar, makes the holiday much easier on mom and more special for your kiddo.
Maybe you’ve never thought about giving Easter gifts to your toddler, and that’s okay. That’s why I’m here to give you all my favorite Easter gifts for toddlers to make the perfect Easter basket!

What should I get my toddler boy for Easter?
I have this same question every holiday, as it seems the options are more plentiful for girls. Especially during a holiday that is mostly pink- and purple-themed, not as easy as shopping for Halloween gifts. But really when it comes down to it a lot of the Easter gifts for toddlers that I’ve found can easily be used for girls or boys: books, bath toys, crayons, non-candy snacks. There are even some good clothing options to add in your son’s Easter basket. So, why don’t you check them out.
And don’t forget, you can always skip the traditional Easter gifts and include things you know your son would like: superhero action figures, cars, building blocks.
What can I put in my toddler’s Easter basket?
Themed Easter Gifts for Toddlers
Personalized Easter Basket
I love personalized Easter baskets because they make handing out Easter gifts for toddlers so much easier, as long as you make the baskets even between siblings. This one is just so adorable and comes in eight different options for boys and girls.
Stuffed Toy
Since my son was born in the spring, he received many stuffed bunnies as baby shower gifts. This stuffed bunny from Melissa and Doug has been a favorite and is stylish enough to add to your nursery decor.
Easter Book
Llama Llama Easter Egg is a great introduction to get your toddler ready for his first Easter egg hunt. Offering cute rhymes with beautiful illustrations, it’s a wonderful Easter gift for toddlers. Check out these other Easter books for more fun.
Easter Coloring Book
Keep your toddler busy all day with this Easter coloring book. With 100 large pictures, your kiddo will be entertained for hours.
Clothing Easter Gifts for Toddlers
Easter Outfit
Including an outfit for girls or boys as an Easter gift for toddlers adds a special treat to wear for the holiday.
Underwear
If you have a potty-trained toddler or soon-to-be potty-trained toddler in your house, include some big girl or big boy underwear as practical clothing Easter gifts for toddlers.
Swimsuit
Get your toddler ready for the beach or pool season by adding a swimsuit for girls or boys to their Easter basket.
Playful Easter Gifts for Toddlers
Bath Toys
I love this set of bath toys because they come apart and don’t hold water like the squirt toys. So, you don’t have to worry about them becoming moldy.
Little People Go Wild Pack
My son loves his Little People sets, and this Go Wild Pack is just the right size to add to an Easter basket. Check out the ABC Animal Train and the safari animals for a complete zoo adventure.
Pull Back Cars
These pull back cars are a cute addition to any Easter basket, as they look like they’re ready for a spring adventure.
Legos
Legos are a rite of passage for all kids, even as much as we loathe stepping on them as parents. This Lego set is just the right size for your toddler.
Washable Crayons
Get some washable crayons to go along with that Easter coloring book. These crayons have washed off of our highchair tray and fabrics, so I would never choose any other crayons for a toddler.
Paints
Since it’s starting to warm up, these washable paints make perfect Easter gifts for toddlers. Take the crafty activities outside, so you don’t have to worry about the mess in your house. If you still don’t want to deal with the mess, pour some paint in a Ziploc bag, and let your little one mash the colors together.
Play Doh
This set of play doh is a great Easter gift for toddlers, especially if there is more than one kiddo in your home. It can easily be split between Easter baskets.
Sidewalk Chalk
It’s springtime and it’s finally warm enough to head outside. And that’s why sidewalk chalk is a great addition to your toddler’s Easter basket. This set even comes with some glitter chalk.
Bubbles
These bubbles make a wonderful addition to a toddler’s Easter basket, as it’s finally warm enough to enjoy the outdoors. They come in fun spring colors and can easily be split up between sibling’s baskets or save some for another day.
Beach Gear
Get your toddler ready for a beach trip with this set of beach gear. And even if you’re not heading to the beach this year, this is a fun set to use in a sand box or even in the dirt.
Mealtime Easter Gifts for Toddlers
Snacks
Snacks are great Easter gifs for toddlers and really fill out that Easter basket. Puffs are still the go-to snack in our home. My son loves eating them from his snack catcher even when he’s just walking around the house. Yogurt Melts and Lil’ Crunchies are also at the top of his list. Just make sure the snack you give are age appropriate.
Utensils
This set of utensils is the perfect size for a little one who is just starting to feed himself and wants to be more independent.
Large Bibs
Large bibs are a must as your toddler grows. These bibs have three snaps, so they fit longer than other bibs and they are super absorbent.
Practical Easter Gifts for Toddlers
Flash Cards
These flash cards teach your little one colors, shapes, numbers and letters. An activity guide is included that introduces fun games and activities to offer different ways of learning.
Alarm Clock
Give this alarm clock to teach your toddler when it’s ok to leave his bed. This Easter gift for toddlers is a great tool for giving them some independence and teaching them how to be responsible for getting themselves ready.
Beach Towel
Since we’ve covered all other beach items, don’t forget a beach towel for that fun summer trip. This towel comes in a variety of designs, so it’s perfect for any Easter basket. Your kiddo could even use it playing a game of make-believe in the backyard or with a splash mat.
Conclusion
There you have it: everything you need to pack a fun toddler Easter basket. There are great options for Easter themed gifts, clothing, toys, food or something practical for both girls and boys.
Remember to take pictures and really enjoy this time as your toddler is more aware of his surroundings and ready to explore the world.
