Easter is coming right up, so it’s time to get cracking (egg pun intended) if you’re thinking about doing Baby’s First Easter Basket.

Baby’s First Easter Basket Ideas:

I've tried to pick things that are relatively inexpensive, small, useful, and have an Easter vibe but can often be used long past the season.

cuddle and kind lamb, bunny and chick

Cuddle + Kind Bunny

Cuddle + Kind makes the most gorgeous stuffed animals and dolls. They are well made and incredibly soft (you can feel the quality when you hold one). In addition to being beautiful, 5-15 meals are provided to children in North America and around the world when you buy one. They sell out VERY quickly, so snap them up when you can. You can check out all the cuteness on their site and on Amazon.

Easter Pajamas

Easter Pajamas

You can never have too many adorable sleepers, and bunnies, ducks, and eggs are kinda universal, so they can wear them past the Easter season. Hanna Andersson makes gorgeous ones but also check out Carter's and Old Navy for some equally cute styles.

haba musical shaker eggs made from wood. Five different colors.

Haba Musical Eggs

Each of these wooden eggs makes a different sound and are perfectly sized for little hands. Four eggs shake (2 rattle, 1 chirps, 1 jingles) and the light blue egg twists to make a clicking noise. They are made of beech wood from sustainable forestry in Germany using 100% non-toxic stains. You can find them on the HABA site, on Amazon and at Target.

Bunny Meadow Loulou Lollipop swaddle

Bunny Meadow Loulou Lollipop

Loulou Lollipop has this gorgeous Bunny Meadow pattern in swaddles, towels, facecloths, and bibs. I love that the single swaddle comes rolled, making it perfect to tuck in an easter basket. If you are looking for something a little more Spring or less soft pink, check out Adventure Begins or Woodland Gnome. (You can also find them on Amazon and at Target.)

baby drinking out of an ezpz tiny cup

ezpz Tiny Cup

ezpz has a whole line of high quality, food-grade silicone feeding products that were developed with the help of a Pediatric Feeding Specialist.

The Tiny Cup can be used from 4+ months and has a weighted base and tactile bumps that provide topple resistance. If you're shopping for an older child, check out the Mini Cup + Straw. You can find it on the ezpz site. (You can also find them on Amazon and at Target.)

ezpz tiny spoon

ezpz Tiny Spoons

The Tiny Spoons from ezpz have sensory bumps on the spoon bowl that activate sensory awareness to decrease gagging and choking. You can find them all on the ezpz site. (You can also find them on Amazon and at Target.)

babiators sunglasses

Sunglasses

I don't think there is anything cuter than a baby wearing sunglasses. Cuteness aside, sunglasses help protect fresh little eyes so you want to make sure they have UVA & UVB protection. I love Babiators because they are well made, come in a ton of styles and are very durable. You can find them on the Babiators site, Amazon and at Target.

hip hop baby onesie with carrot next to it

Hip Hop Onesie

Here’s a hopping graphic onesie idea for baby from Etsy. There are a handful of designs from different sellers that will speak to just about anyone’s inner ’90s hip hop fiend. You can check them all out on Etsy.

three silicone bath toys

Bath Toy Set

These sweet bath toys from Loulou Lollipop open up so gross stuff won't grow in them. They are the perfect size for small hands to grip and spray. You can find them on the Loulou Lollipop site and on Amazon.

fridababy toothbrush

Fridababy Toothbrush

I fully recognize that this little toothbrush isn't a bunny or anything but I thought it had a bit of an egg vibe. The SmileFrida Finger Brush tackles top and bottom at the same time. Plus, a gentle massage with the Finger Brush can go a long way in alleviating teething woes. You can find it on Amazon and Target.

wooden toy eggs

Wooden Play Eggs

This game set includes five wooden eggs and five wooden egg cups to help promote hand-eye coordination. They come in a nice, long package that will sit nicely in an Easter basket too. You can find them at Target.

bunny baby teether

Bunny Teether

This little fella is textured on both sides for teething relief and has a nice shape for easy holding. It's free of BPA, PVC, phthalates, lead, and cadmium and they also make other animals like alligators, elephants, giraffes, llamas, lions and rhinos. You can find it on the Loulou Lollipop site and on Amazon.

Organic Cotton Muslin Bunny Lovie

Bunny Lovey

This adorable Organic Cotton Muslin Bunny Lovie is so sweet. It comes wrapped to fit perfectly in an Easter basket too! You can find it on Carter’s website.

tubby todd all over ointment

Tubby Todd All Over Ointment

This stuff is amazing and the green label gives it a spring vibe. You can shop it on their website and you can also read my review here.

These Loulou Lollipop bunny links are ideal for attaching toys and teethers to the stroller, play gym, carrier, or car seat helping keep baby's favorite toys off the floor while providing hours of entertainment. It comes in a pack of five in an adorable bunny shape which is perfect to tuck in an Easter basket. You can find them on the Loulou Lollipop site

Stuffed yellow baby Chick

Stuffed Chick

How sweet is this little puff?! This sweet chick is only 5" tall so its easy for little hands to hold and cuddle. You can find it on Amazon and Target.

Hatching Duck Bath Toy When the egg is filled with water, the little duck slowly pops up.

Hatching Duck Bath

When the egg is filled with water, the little duck slowly pops up. Water squirts out of its mouth when you push it back in. Pick the egg up and water sprinkles out of the bottom. You can find it here on Amazon.

clothing labels

Personalized Labels

Great for sippy cups, jackets, shoes and anything else that tends to walk away. They are printed on a sheet so they'd sit nicely in an Easter basket. Minted makes beautiful ones.

baby carrot teether

Carrot Teether

New chompers will love this sweet little carrot teether. You can find it on Amazon and Target.

bunny pacifier holder

Bunny pacifier holder

This sweet bunny has a velcro hand to hold a favorite pacifier or teether. You could even pair it with the carrot teether! You can pick it up on Amazon.

Note: skip sleeping with this bunny when it comes to young babies who don’t roll.

Hide & Squeak Easter Eggs

Hide N Squeak Eggs

This timeless toy contains six eggs that crack open to reveal colored chicks that chirp gently when their heads are pressed down. Each little egg has a shape on the bottom that fits into its unique base in the egg box. You can find them on Amazon and Target.

Babyganics SPF 50 Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion

Babyganics SPF 50 Baby Mineral Sunscreen Lotion

Celebrate the sunny spring with this mineral sunscreen that is made with all mineral actives: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, and without parabens, phthalates, PABA, fragrance, or nanoparticles. (And the packaging looks nice in an Easter basket.) You can find it on Amazon and at Target.

personalized bunny book

Personalized Board Book

Little readers will enjoy following the Snuggle Bunny putting away toys, brushing teeth, and sharing lots of snuggles before settling down to close their eyes. I found this one at Pottery Barn Kids.

Portable Sound Machine

Portable Sound Machine

Okay, so this sound machine isn't exactly an egg, but I thought it had an Easter vibe. The little speaker has 4 relaxing sound options – Heartbeat, White Noise, Ocean, or Lullaby – and easily fits in diaper bags and luggage. You can find it on Amazon.

rainbow stacking cups

Stacking Cups

These silicone stacking cups come in two color sets and can be used for playtime or bathtime. They are softer than your regular stacking cups so they stack better and aren't as loud (or frustrating) when they tumble. You can find them on Loulou Lollipop site.

pacifier holder

Binky Clips

Copper Pearl makes these adorable Binky Clips in sets of three. They feature a premium knit strap lined with absorbent fleece to help soak up drool and attach to a baby's pacifier or teether at one end, then fasten the clip to clothing, blankets or baby gear on the other. The set here is called Leilani on the Copper Pearl site, but Amazon also carries other patterns.

Snap and Go Pods

These Snap and Go pods are great for snacks, formula storage, baby food and more. They are made by Melii (they make my favorite snackle box) and come in a BPA-free plastic version and a silicone version and a silicone version.

bunny crib shoes

Crib Shoes

Style your little Easter Egg in some fresh bunny shoes. There are tons of beautiful ones on the Etsy site.

Personalized Jellycat

Personalized Jellycat

Who doesn’t love a personalized bunny?! These Jellycats are timeless and are a sweet keepsake for a baby's first Easter. You can find these in the Embelish Monograms shop, but Etsy has various options if you're looking for a specific style or color.

Kahlmi Massage Me! Socks

Kahlmi Massage Me! Socks

These too-cute baby massage socks feature clearly printed instructions so you can unlock the benefits of reflexology to soothe a baby’s gas, colic and constipation. Find them on Kahlmi and Amazon.

This sweet little flower encourages sensory exploration and the development of fine motor skills with its simple design and soft colors. It's made from food grade silicone and a BPA-free plastic frame. You can find it in a variety of colors on Amazon

baby in a knitted bunny hat

Knitted Bunny Hat

What’s an Easter photo without them? We found these from Marys Knits on Etsy.

copperpearl baby chick bib

Baby Bandana Drool Bib

Copper Pearl makes gorgeous bibs. I like that they are seasonal without being too on the nose so it doesn't feel weird like when you are using a "My First Christmas" bib in July. I know it doesn't matter but, you know, the little things. You can find this "Peter" set on Amazon and the Copper Pearl site. (Target also carries them but I couldn't find this exact pattern.)

custom easter baskets

Custom Easter basket

I love these because they aren’t too ‘babyish’, so they can use them for many years to come. Pottery Barn has a beautiful assortment of designs and sizes. You can shop them all here on Pottery Barn Kids.

Peter Rabbit Wooden Garden Wagon

Peter Rabbit Wooden Garden Wagon

If you want to skip the Easter Basket and go with something more substantial, this little wooden wagon comes with a removable cardboard crate and plush toys. You can find it on Amazon.

four easter board books

Easter Board Books

Some of these are specific to Easter and some just have bunnies and ducks, but ALL of them are good. Also, check out the full list of Easter Board books. I spent a full afternoon narrowing down the pile to my top 21 picks. Here are four of them:

  1. I Am a Bunny (This is the BEST book) Amazon | Target
  2. Peter Rabbit Easter Fun Amazon
  3. Peter Rabbit Little Library Amazon
  4. Where's the Bunny? Amazon | Target

There are tons of fun ideas for a baby's Easter basket

Just because they aren't old enough to rock the jelly beans doesn't mean they can't have some amazing treats and they’ll definitely know the most important thing this holiday week – Somebunny loves them. Now excuse me while I finish this bulk bag of mini-eggs and pin all things Peter Rabbit.
