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

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.
