Simple & Sweet Easter Basket Ideas for Babies and Toddlers

There’s something so refreshing about Spring and all the newness it brings, including Easter. It’s definitely a fun one to celebrate with little ones—it’s light, playful, and full of pastel cuteness. And let’s be honest, putting together an Easter basket is so much fun, especially when it’s for a baby or toddler. There’s just something magical about watching them discover new textures, colors, and little surprises tucked into a basket just for them.

Think soft, sensory-friendly, and sweet. For babies, I love including a mix of snuggly things (like loveys and plush toys), useful items (like pacis or teething rings), and engaging toys (like rattles or stacking rings). Books are always a win too—baby board books and cloth books fit perfectly in any basket and make great keepsakes.

This guide includes:

  • Bunny-themed onesies and rompers
  • Wooden toys and rattles
  • Soft books and teethers
  • Plush animals and stackers
  • A cozy bunny-eared basket you’ll want to use year after year

Perfect for ages: newborn to 12 months

Now this is where the real fun begins! Toddlers love interactive toys, pretend play, and exploring anything new. For them, I like to mix in a few seasonal touches with toys they can enjoy all spring long—things like beach toys, play food, or classic books like Peter Rabbit. Bonus points if it keeps them entertained on Easter morning while you sip your coffee in peace!

This guide features:

  • Bunny plushies and dolls
  • Mini wooden sailboats and trains
  • Sunglasses and swimwear for spring
  • Outdoor toys and beach accessories
  • Personalized touches for a little extra charm

Perfect for ages: 1–3 years

Let’s talk about the basket itself. I’m always drawn to the container just as much as what goes inside. Whether you love something natural and woven, sweet and bunny-shaped, or sleek and modern, this roundup has a little something for everyone.

I included:

  • Bunny-eared woven baskets
  • Soft plush options for babies
  • Scalloped edges, neutral tones, and classic shapes

These baskets aren’t just cute—they’re reusable, too! Use them for storage, room decor, or next year’s egg hunt.

Final Thoughts

No matter how big or small your basket is this year, just remember: it’s all about creating sweet memories and little moments of joy. Whether you go all out or keep it simple, your baby or toddler is going to feel so loved—and that’s what makes it special.

I hope these ideas spark some inspiration and make your Easter prep just a little easier (and a lot cuter!). Tap the images below each guide to shop everything directly.

Wishing you a joyful, sunshine-filled Easter season with your little bunnies! 🌷🐰💛
