    How to Create a Christian Easter Basket

    I have to admit that we have been lax over the years on creating Easter baskets with a 'Christian' or 'religious' theme. It's just so easy to pick up the eggs filled with toys or candy and call it good!

    However, there are so many benefits to creating a Christian Easter Basket.

    1. It cultivates discussions on the true meaning of Easter.
    2. Your children can interact with the Gospel story.
    3. The toys/candy are not meaningless, they have purpose.

    What can I use Instead of a Basket for Easter?

    If you would prefer not to use an Easter Basket, there are some simple alternatives. Check out these Easter Basket alternatives!

    • Collapsible pails
    • Fun storage containers - this one has a cow pattern!
    • Fabric bin

    The nice thing about all this is that they are all reusable after your Easter baskets have been opened! Now onto the Easter Basket Ideas!

    What do you put in a Boys Easter basket?

    I have two boys currently who are 2 & 3 years old. I am always hearing that it is super tough to buy gifts for boys, but I have to say that I feel the opposite! I love buying my little firecrackers gifts. Here are a few Easter basket ideas for the little and older boys in your life.

    Not all of these will be Christian Easter Basket Ideas, some will be more generic.

    • Wooden Car Kit or a Model Car Kit
    • Try Not to Laugh Easter Joke Book
    • The Answer Books for Kids (by Answers in Genesis)
    • Dinosaur for Kids (by Answers in Genesis - Biblical View of Dinosaurs)
    • Or Grab this Dinosaur Pack Deal
    • Easter Egg Cars
    • The Action Bible Guess it Game (older boys)

    Christian Easter Basket Ideas

    There is no shortage of Christian Easter Basket ideas out there! If you are worried that they will not be enough variety, fear not! We are going to dive into lots of options and variety for you to choose from!

    Other Easter Activities

    There are many other Christian Easter Activities that could be fun to do with your little ones. This year I am planning on making our "Fairy Garden" into a more faith-based one. We will have some typical Easter miniatures like these bunnies and carrots, but also a large stone that represents Jesus' tomb and a garden path.

    Have you ever heard of resurrection eggs? It is a purposeful way to send your children on an Easter egg hunt while learning the Easter story. This would be another Christian Easter basket ideas, but you would need to do it Easter weekend, instead of before the holiday.

    Have you ever heard of resurrection rolls? It can be such a delight to bake with little kids and this activity is one that intentionally teaches about the empty tomb of Jesus.

    Easter Basket Treats

    Although we live a processed sugar-free lifestyle, there is still room for our children to have occasional treats. The first two on this list are sugar-filled candy and the last two are more sugar-conscious options.

    • Scripture Candy
    • Jesus Lives! Easter Chocolate
    • Smart Sweet Loli-Pops
    • Smart Sweet Variety Pack

    Easter Basket Toys

    I got super excited looking through these Christian Easter basket ideas. A couple of these, I'm going to get for my kids this year! The memory game specifically is already in my cart ready to go!

    • Easter Bingo Cards
    • Galilee Boat with 12 Disciples and Jesus
    • Easter Felt Set
    • Bible Stories Memory Game
    • Noah's Ark Balancing Game

    Resurrection Focused Easter

    It is unlikely that you are going to use all these Christian Easter Basket ideas, but intentionally focusing on the biblical Easter story, is what really matters.

    What is going on in your kids' Easter baskets this year?
