What to put in your Easter baskets?

Disclaimer: Glitta has older kids than Dot and so she has ALL KINDS of ideas* of what to put in her kiddos baskets.  Dot does not.  And so this post is for the Dot's of this world...


First off, I might need to make a new basket all together, and the Texas Tiger Blog did a cute one:




Kiki Creates has a downloadable pattern to make this adorable little purse:
Amber from This and That made these adorable tags for her kid's baskets, I think mine would LOVE them and then destroy them...

Glitta's SIL picked up a Vera Bradley Hannah bag for her daughter which is  gorgeous and you should be able to find for about twenty bucks.




*update from Glitta and Elles Belles and Bows (thanks guys!) Vera Bradley has this special edition Princess bag for $24 (only available in stores until the 24th) that would be perfect for a toddler or your little girl's scriptures for Church.
Or like Funny Magic, you could make an Amy Butler purse, which I would do if I had actual sewing skills:



I love the Jack Rabbit Softie that The Polka Dot Umbrella made, plus she's sharing her pattern for free!  If I actually get one made, I'll let ya know!  I'm kinda thinking a girl and boy matching set!



Sarahndipities has a very simple idea for a homemade bunny that is pretty adorable too!  (Psst, it's made from a glove!  A GLOVE, from the dollar store!)



Instead of cavities waiting to happen, how about a few fabric eggs?  Kim at Retro Mama has a great tutorial!

I also love the idea of these egg sound sets for my toddler, idea from Elles Belles Bows:




*Sunglasses, markers, mechanical pencils, rocket balloons, fabric purses, pens, erasers, swimsuits, undies, bubble bath, toy cars, purses, stickers, balls, play-doh, hairbows or headbands, socks, jewelry, lip gloss, coupons, small animals, money, action figures or little dolls, seeds you can grow, books, puzzles, legos, jump rope, card games


Hope this helps!
