I'm so sorry- this was supposed to go out Friday but I was out of town and I forgot to schedule it .
Hopefully, this post isn't too late now--but I know there is those procrastinators among us --lol 😂--so hopefully it helps inspire someone still yet---
Here is a list of Christ-centered Easter basket ideas for those who wish to make the Easter baskets this year a bit more focused on Jesus!
For babies/Toddlers
Hardback Bible storybooks likeThe Story of Easter
Bible themed playsets like this wooden Noah's Ark set. (So many other options as well. Just look on Amazon or google for Bible or religious themed playsets! )
Plush stuffed animals
Religious "sound" books (books that make noises or sing songs like this one)
For younger kids:
Bible coloring books/new crayons
Bible stories (books)
Christian Children's Books
a Illustrated or picture Bible
Plush animals like a lamb (maybe you could even add an attached tag about Jesus being the Lamb of God)
Christian themed reusable sticker books
Religious themed puzzles
Stickers
Candy
Age appropriate Bible theme games like Bible trivia, Biblopoly, Old Man Noah, Bible outburst, etc.
Bible playsets (like these--Noah's Ark, Jesus/Disciples and boat, David/Goliath, the Nativity, and many more!)
Older kids
The Action Bible
A KJV study Bible
A journaling Bible (the KJV color the Word is an excellent choice!)
Notebook to take notes during sermons/ Bible studies
Nice gel pens or colored pencils
Bible theme adult coloring book
Bible trivia games
A Bible cover
Religious themed craft kits
Christian Activity Books
Christian books/magazines
Adventures in Odyssey albums (or a subscription to the AIO club!)
Christian music CDs or gift card for downloadable content
Jonathan Parks Books
Candy
Christian Audio books or dramas (Heirloom Audio Adventures of G.A. Henty, Jonathan Park Audio Dramas,nand many more!)
Devotional book or prayer journal
If you want to add in normal everyday items or items of necessity but still want the focus to be on Christ and the Bible, one idea is to seek out a scripture verse to correlate with the gift.
For instance, a pair of much needed new shoes for your daughter could have the “How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! (Song of Solomon 7:1a) attached via a handwritten or printed tag-- (or even a simple post it note would work!! )
There are so many options! You just have to get a little creative to make it work! Yes, it may entail a bit more planning and creativity on our part as Mama but I promise you, it is gonna be so worth it to keep Christ as the center of our homes-- Remember, it is our job, Mamas, to lead our little ones to the feet of Him who loved us!! Let's use this opportunity to show them Jesus!! 🙌🏼
From my Heart to yours !

PS I have made these Jesus themed baskets many times for my kids -- but for some reason, I couldn't find a single photo to post.... I'm so sorry 😞
