Happy Spring everyone! Like I mentioned last night, I am so ecstatic
that I've been on the ball this year and am all done shopping for Easter
baskets this year!
I've honestly never been the kind of parent to buy a
pre-made Easter basket – to me they just aren't as personal. I want my children
to be surprised at all of the fun things in their Easter baskets and know that
I put a lot of love and thought into creating it for them.
Noah’s and Emma’s baskets were easy – I created a Spiderman
themed basket for him, and a FROZEN one for her.
Anika on the other hand was a little bit harder. She is
still 11, so she’s at that ‘I want to be a big girl’ one minute stage, then
playing make believe with Emma and Noah the next.
Obviously I don’t want her to grow up any faster than she
already is, so I decided to do a basket with a character I know she likes: The
Little Mermaid.
At Walmart I found everything I needed, and I began
gathering things for the kids, - one theme at a time.
They had Spiderman baskets there too and I quickly realized
that they would perfect because they had quite a bit of room for me to fill
them. I chose red as Noah’s color theme, as I thought it would be fun to not
only pick character themes, but color themes as well.
Spiderman action figures, body wash, a watch, and more were
placed alongside chocolates and candies.
Emma’s basket is filled with FROZEN fun. There is a FROZEN
wand, lip gloss, tattoos, and more and then of course color coordinated candies
for her too. I bought light blue Easter egg grass to match all of the goodies
inside.
Anika’s I ended up altering it a little bit more – I knew I wanted
a green basket with purple accents (like Ariel), so I bought the first wicker
basket I found at Walmart and had to modify it a bit. There was a wooden figure
glue to the front that I carefully removed, and then wrapped the top of the
basket with purple ribbon, attaching it with glue dots. I then covered the area
that I had the wooden animal removed from with purple bows.
I bought her an Ariel doll because she still likes playing
dolls sometimes – only because her sister ‘begs’ her to, you know. ;)
I tried to keep all of her basket with green goodies, even
down to the Chap Stick I bought for her.
All of the fun Disney products can be found in the Toy and
Easter sections at Walmart.
I’m so excited to have these done! Now if I can find a good
spot to hide them until Easter Sunday where they won’t find them!
Have you made any Easter baskets yet this year?

These are adorable! Very well done! I know the kids will be thrilled!
ReplyDeleteThey turned out very nice, any little one would be so excited to get one of these.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job, and you just may have inspired me to get out there and get mine done.
Thanks :)
I like the idea of doing a themed basket.
ReplyDeleteThese are so great! What a great idea to do themed baskets. My kids are all still young enough, that is should be easy and inexpensive to do this as well. Thanks for the tips!
ReplyDeleteI found your post at Small Victories Sunday linky party!
I do not have our Easter baskets made yet. This will be the first Easter we've celebrated since our son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, so we have to be careful about which candies we buy for him. These things from Disney are perfect for a fun basket that doesn't REQUIRE candy! #client
