22. Toothbrush and Toothpaste: Promote good oral hygiene from a young age with a toothbrush and some special toothpaste courtesy of the Easter bunny.
23. Toothbrush Sanitizer: While your child may not exactly fall in love with a toothbrush sanitizer, it’s still an Easter basket worthy item. Plus, you can use all the help you can get fighting germs during cold and flu season.
24. Match Card Games: The weather may not be conducive to outdoor activities; however, don’t just sit your little one in front of the television. Instead, encourage learning and mental development with fun activities like matching games.
25. Flash Cards: Make learning the ABCs fun with animal flash cards.
26. Gerber Graduates: Instead of sugar filled sweets that will have your little one bouncing off the walls, add a delicious and nutritious treat like Gerber Graduates Strawberry and Apple Puffs to his or her Easter basket.
27. Cereal Cups: Another healthy but yummy option to include in your child’s Easter basket is a Cheerios cereal cup.
28. Washcloths: Purchase your little one his or her very own washcloths to use at bath time.
29. Fruit Snacks: If it’s a struggle to get your child to eat fruit, consider adding some fruit snacks to his or her Easter basket. However, make sure the fruit snacks you purchase contain real fruit and not just tons of sugar.
30. Balls: Consider adding toys that will keep your child active to his or her Easter basket this year.
31. Goldfish Crackers: If you’re looking for more edible Easter basket options, consider picking up some Goldfish. Just try not to eat them all yourself!
Easter Basket Ideas for Kids Ages 4 Through 11
32. Juice Boxes: Swap out sugary sodas for all natural 100% juice.
33. Kids Purses: If you’re little girl likes to accessorize or just carry a bunch of stuff around with her, consider a cute little purse for an Easter gift.
34. Play-Doh: Encourage your child’s creativity and imagination with the gift of Play-Doh.
35. Self-Inking Stamp Sets: If your little one is crafty then self-inking stamps can be a great addition to his or her Easter basket. However, I recommend supervision.
36. Novelty Erasers: With some fun erasers in hand, your child will be more than ready to head back to school after spring break in order to show them off to his or her classmates.
37. Jewelry: Any girl, no matter her age, would be happy to be gifted with some new jewelry (hint, hint to all you husbands out there – Mother’s Day isn’t that far away!).
38. Dress-Up Accessories: Encourage your daughter to use her imagination by adding some fun dress-up accessories to her Easter basket.
39. Nail Polish: Add a few fun colors of nail polish to your little girl’s Easter basket this year. She’ll have a blast giving herself and all her friends a manicure.
40. Nail Art Stickers: Top off that manicure with some fun nail stickers. These stickers come in a variety of colors, with and without glitter, and in a slew of beloved characters like Hello Kitty.
41. Slinky: Everyone loves a slinky – right? Introduce your child to a beloved classic this Easter.

I think you need to check your date – Easter is March 27 not April 5.

This has made me feel so much better about Easter. It will be here in a couple of days and we weren’t sure what we could get for our little man. I am a stay at home Mom and we live on one income and struggle, but it’s worth it to be home with our him. Your list gave me tons of great ideas just perfect for him. I just want to say Thank you so much!!!!

GROWING UP, OUR EASTER GIFTS WERE NEW DRESS UP/’SUNDAY GO TO MEETING CLOTHES AND SHOES, AND ONCE CUTE HATS AND HAD OUR PICTURES TAKEN. WE WERE NEVER GIVEN SWEETS, EXCEPT FOR OUR BIRTHDAYS WHEN WE WERE ALLOWED TO CHOOSE OUR DESSERT THAT WAS MADE FOR DINNER THAT NIGHT. OUR PARENTS WERE SERIOUS AS TO TAKING CARE OF OUR HEALTH AND TEETH. SO WE NEVER EXPECTED THOSE THINGS. WHEN WE WERE OLDER, LIKE IN JR. HIGH SCHOOL, WE RECEIVED A NEW BIBLE, ONCE, BUT ALWAYS, WE WERE SO PROUD OF THOSE NEW DRESS OUTFITS.
