Non Candy Easter Basket Filler Ideas
Board games: I like giving my daughter a larger gift that she can use over and over again; board games are great for that. I am a big fan of the Peaceable Kingdom board games.
They are fun and actually teach your child valuable lessons. Some of my favorites are: Hoot Owl Hoot!, Monkey Around, Friends and Neighbors, and Stack Up!
ABCMouse: You can actually purchase your child a subscription to ABCMouse. It is for kids ages 2-8 and my daughter loves playing all of the games,
I love that she is learning so much! You can get your first 30 days for free to see if your child will like it. Just put a little card in their basket telling them about their new subscription.
Personalized Books: I love all of the different personalized books from ISeeMe! I actually got my daughter the Princess storybook set.
It came with a book, coloring book and stickers all personalized just for her. She is going to love it! They have Easter themed books as well.
