Hippity, hoppity… Easter is on its way. It’s time to start thinking about Easter Basket fillers!

Easter Basket Candy Alternatives All our posts may include affiliate links, including Amazon links, that support our site at no cost to you. Click here to see our complete disclosure policy.

Name a holiday and it usually comes with some sort of candy accompaniment. Valentine’s Day = box of chocolates. Christmas = candy canes. Easter = baskets filled with candy. And yes, it can be fun to indulge and give our kids treats, but if you’re looking for some Easter basket candy alternatives to include along with or in place of the candy, read on!

#5 – Calico Critters Baby Tree House

Can I just take a moment to say how ADORABLE Calico Critters are? We just love how cute and sweet they are and how they encourage creative play. This Easter, children can take the Baby Critters outside to play in this sweet little tree house. They can have the Baby Critters hop on the swing or rock in the hammock for outdoor fun. The tree house includes a table, chairs & steps along with Hazelnut Chipmunk baby Luke who is ready to play!

#6 – Calico Critters Baby Castle Playground

The fun continues in the Baby Castle Playground featuring Hopscotch Rabbit baby Grace included. Children can send the Baby Critter friends up the ladder to the lookout tower or send them slipping down the slide or playing with friends in the sandbox.

#7 – Calico Critters Baby Choo-Choo Train

Children can take Cuddle Bear baby traveling along this sweet sightseeing railway and stop at the mini-station when the Baby Critters arrive at their destination. The set includes two cars for riding and a mini-station for arrival and departures.

 

#8 – Utter Nonsense Game

Players combine silly accents with even sillier phrases to create sayings that are just plain ridiculous! Each round features one accent, and each player must read one of their Phrase Cards in said accent. The Nonsense Judge picks their favorite to win that round! You don’t have to be good at accents to play—have fun with it and be silly to make the phrases your own!

    These are all really good ideas. I really like the bubble glove, as my daughter have a hard time blowing bubbles. Also, the Stickbots are such a great idea of Easter egg prizes instead of candy.

    I love these ideas. I never heard of Stik Bots but they look like fun to open. My daughters had Calico Critters when they were young. They played in their doll house with them.
