Treat Coupons
This is a new idea I recently came across. Little treat coupons to add to eggs. These can include things like extra screen time, ice cream, or a special outing with a parent.

Money
Kids will never turn down getting money. Stuff some dollars or quarters in those eggs and kids will love hunting for it.
Books
I loved getting books in my Easter basket and my kids do too!
Don’t limit yourself just to Easter themed books. Include a spring-themed book or a new book in a series they love.
This year my kids are getting Dragon Girls and Diary of a Pug.
Favorite Coloring tool
My kids are forever losing or using up their favorite coloring supplies. These can make perfect Easter basket fillers.
Try Kwik Sticks for younger kids and fancy art markers for older kids.
Stress Ball or Fidget Toy
Getting a new fidget toy or stress ball can renew a child interest. Why not include one that’s themed for the season in their easter basket.

Can kids ever have enough stickers? Grab some themed ones or just something they love whether that’s space, dinosaurs, or unicorns.
Fancy Body Soap or Lotion
My kids love having fancy soap like mommy. So, a couple times a year I get them some soap from Bath & Body Works. You could get them lotion too from wherever you like to get yours.

Sometimes I grab my daughters new holiday socks from the dollar bin at Target…and they absolutely love them. Grab some themed ones or just their favorites.
