Looking for some baby Easter basket ideas that won’t be a waste of money? This guide will show you what to put into your little’s basket this spring without feeling like it’s packed with junk. A mix of fun toys and useful items, every bunny will love these Easter Basket stuffers for baby.
Generally speaking, I’m an advocate of, “baby won’t know what’s happening for a few years so buying them holiday gifts is a waste.”
But with boys really into all things holiday, I know that will have to change. I really don’t want to be dealing with “Why didn’t the Easter Bunny bring the baby anything!?” kind of questions.
But rather than curating a basket of junk that we’ll never use and will turn into a waste of money, I plan on stuffing it wil useful and fun items. It’s exactly what I do with the boys, but for babies!
Baby Easter Basket Ideas That Aren’t a Waste
If you’re looking for some easy ideas, look no further. These tips and tricks for how to fill out your little’s basket are both practical and fun! Here you’ll find some ideas for essentials to add in as well as fun items that won’t be tossed in a day.
Baby Snack Filler Ideas:
I tend to skip candy in my kids’ Easter basket, mostly because I know the grandparents will give it to them. (I do the same with their no candy stocking stuffers!) That doesn’t mean I don’t like to toss in a few tasty treats. If your baby is eating solids, here are a few ideas of what you can add.
- Baby food pouches
- Puffs
- Teething biscuits
- Freeze dried fruit

Essentials to put into an Easter Basket:
Another practical idea for baby’s first Easter basket is to pack it with essentials you’ll probably be buying soon! Not exciting, but definitely practical.
- Bibs
- Feeding utensils
- Bows, socks, hat for spring
- Sippy cup
- Pacifiers

Okay, so not the most practical, but a first only comes once! Bonus, you don’t have to find any stuffers for it.

A soft, sweet bunny attached to a pacifier? Yes please! This is the perfect balance of “Easter basket” and things you’ll use later.

This teether is too cute not to include. Not only is it super useful as a teether with a great shape for baby hands. But it could make for some super cute photo ops as baby chews on the carrot shaped teether!

Hippity, Hoppity, Little Bunny (Finger Puppet Book)
My kids always loved these little finger puppet books. They’re great now, when mom and dad can read and “be” the bunny, as well as down the road when baby can independently enjoy the book.
Disney Baby My First Easter Board book
I can’t say no to Easter books for kids! This one is super cute and I know my kids would still read it year after year, even when it isn’t their “first” anymore.
Egg- Shakers for Kids
Skip the plastic eggs with junk inside (baby won’t be able to open them anyway) and opt for these instead. They’re the perfect size for little hands to grasp and shake and will last for years.
Infantino Pat and Play Water Mat
Make tummy time a tiny bit easier with this super cute water mat! It’s great for sensory play and super affordable.
Crayola My First Palm Grip Crayons
These egg shaped crayons are perfectly and intentionally designed for little hands. Plus, they’re washable since we know it will be some time before the coloring stays on the page.
Baby Food Feeder
These silicone feeders are awesome when baby is first learning solids! Put in some fruit and let baby chomp away at it, enjoying teh food and flavor without any choking risk. The silicone ones are MUCH easier to clean than the mesh version.
Taggies Sherbet Lamb Toy
This might be one of the cutest baby Easter basket ideas – this little stuffed lamb is also a taggie toy to help with sensory development. The tags make this an interactive and soothing plush toy for babies.
Baby Bandana Drool Bibs with Teething Toy
I’ve written about this style of bib before in my baby with reflux post, but this is a great essential to stock up on. Bonus, this version has a teether at the end so you’re not always searching for one in your bag. And baby can’t drop it!
Fat Brain Toys Dimpl Baby Toy
These Fat Brain toys don’t just look funky – they’re made to helo your baby develop and explore textures, cause and effect, and more. My 3 and 5 year old STILL like playing with this as a bit of a fidget toy.
Bunny Roo, I Love You
The last book, I promise, but this one is too cute not to include. Not only is it bunny themed to go with our baby Easter basket ideas, but it’s a book that will hold their interest past the holiday.
Baby Food Pouches
Food pouches are worth a second mention – they’re the perfect snack and treat for baby! Anything you can toss in your bag and break out when your little gets hungry and cranky is a win to me. Bonus: at the time of posting these are well less than $1 a pouch which is a steal.
Stretchy Nylon Headbands
We LOVE bows and headbands. Can a baby girl have enough? These are relatively neutral so they’ll match a lot of her clothing!
Summer Tiny Diner Portable Placemat
I will sing the praises all day long about the value of this product – I ADORE it. We got it with Ryan and I used it through Owen. It’s the ONLY way I survived baby led weaning on the go and made eating at restaurants a BREEZE with a baby.
Munchkin Bath Bobbers Toy
Bath toys are always a win in any Easter basket. These aren’t open so they won’t hold mold and will be safe when baby inevitably pops on in her mouth.
Modern Pacifier Clip for Baby
Finally, no more lost pacis! Adding a pacifier clip to my list of baby Easter Basket ideas is both practical and pretty. Bonus, they have TONS of colors and designs on Amazon.
