easter basket: candy alternatives

April 11, 2014 alicia c.

Don’t get me wrong; I have nothing against hollow chocolate bunnies and Cadbury Crème Eggs (let’s be honest, I think I was borderline addicted to Cadbury Crème Eggs by age 6). All I’m saying is that maybe we could find a few candy alternatives for the Easter basket that encourage imagination and recreation as opposed to sugar highs and stomachaches. Below are 21 basket-stuffers that will last far longer than bunny-shaped marshmallows, and since Easter is fast approaching several of them are available with two day shipping for my fellow Amazon Prime-mates. Clockwise from top left:

1. Oeuf long-sleeve bunny tee

2. Tane carrot rattle

3. Manny and Simon bunny push toy

4. Blahblah Kids wooly the sheep doll

5. Finn + Emma rattle

6. Zubkey wooden eggs color matching game

7. Under the Nile bunny blanket friend

8. Egg chalk

9. Reusable snack pouch

10. Guess How Much I love you (soft baby book version)

11. Atelier Atsuyo Et Akiko lapin cotton crew tee

12. Deuz mini maracas wooden rattles
