Looking for creative ideas for an Easter Basket for baby? Here are some baby friendly ideas that are hands on, healthy and will inspire your baby’s imagination.  A few ideas are even handmade that you could put together easily with felt fabric scraps from home.

Baby Easter Basket Ideas

As you’re picking out basket consider picking a basket that your baby or toddler can easily carry around when it has eggs inside of it.  Little hands love putting eggs in and out of baskets and it’s great for their fine motor and gross motor skills. This Cuddly Bunny Plush Easter Egg Basket  or Personalized Plus Blue Bunny Easter Basket would be a fun surprise for your baby.

If you have a baby younger than 4 months for Easter, this Baby GUND My First Easter Basket Playset Stuffed Plush, 5 pieceswould be perfect.  I can only imagine how cute your baby’s easter photos would be.

 Plastic Easter buckets can be fun too and you can explore with sand and water too once you’re done for outdoor sensory play.

What Can I Fill a Baby’s Easter Eggs With?

• An Egg Can Be Just an Egg

Truthfully don’t feel like you have to fill them. Then will enjoy just playing with the eggs. My older daughter first learned to throw with plastic eggs, they were light and easy to hold and she loved playing the egg game with them. At the time she was 7 months old and loved just sitting and throwing them. Now my youngest daughter is 15 months and she loves trying to open them and discover things, every age is different. If you are concerned with them coming open, just tape them closed.

• Make Egg Shakers

You could always fill them with something too and seal them closed to make music.  Consider items like rice, beans or beads.  Just make sure that they are sealed closed to any choking hazards.  Electrical tape seems to do that job the best.

• Music Scarves for Movement
• Finger Puppets
• Easter Bubbles (tiny wedding ones, much easier for little mouths to learn with)
• Bunny Finger Puppet
• Chick Bean Bag
• Eggs filled with finger foods like cereal, goldfish, puffs, raisins (instead of candy items)
