Ideas for Filling Easter Baskets for Kids- M Loves M @marmar

Easter is coming up faster than I realized so I spent the weekend researching cute ideas for filling Easter baskets for kids. I loved last year’s baskets, which these photos are from, so they’re definitely inspiring me this year as well. Easter is on Sunday April 17th so I hope this post helps you put together your kid’s baskets, or maybe tops them off.

Last year I included kids water bottles in both baskets. For Corinna I included flower sunglasses, this sweet bunny book, and some Critters which she has grown to love so much over the past year. Augustine got a little tool kit (which I especially loved because Jesus was a carpenter’s son), sunglasses, a book {this book would be perfect!}, and some chalk. Unfortunately, the tool kit I got is out of stock but I love this wooden one! I try not to load up candy in their baskets but we do an Easter egg hunt with some treats in plastic eggs. Augustine’s favorite are the peanut butter pretzels!

This year I’m thinking about adding bath bombs which have been a favorite of both kids and some other things they can play together like playdough, bubble toys or washable markers.

If you have a little one, this knit bunny lovey is so darling! And this pull-along duck or counting carrots game.

For Corinna, I love this bunny bag, gingham bow, or knot detail headbands. She’d probably have a lot of fun with this wooden camera too! I feel like these floral knit socks would be very practical and she needs some new pairs. Somehow socks always get lost around here…

For Augustine, I’m looking into getting him the Tractor LegoCity or a game like Jenga. This dinosaur diver pack might also be a fun encouragement for upcoming swim lessons. And baseball hats to last through summer might be a good option too!

Both kids love helping me in the kitchen so I thought about getting this Easter cupcake kit, although that would probably be something I surprise them with over the weekend. They love spontaneous baking days, and these coconut cupcakes are one of our absolute favorites. Perfect for Easter too! Another fun activity would be this paint your own eggs craft.

For clothing, I adore this bloomer set for C and button-down and khaki shorts for A. These sandals have been a favorite during recent years so I was thinking about adding them to both of their baskets. They’re great for days at the splash park!

Building an Easter Basket

putting together Augustine's Easter Basket - tips for what to put in a toddler Easter Basket - M Loves M @marmar

Easter is a few weeks away and I’ve been really wanting to do something special for the kids so I’ve been busy planning cute little Easter baskets for them. Last year, things didn’t go as planned (in 2020 fashion) so I’m trying to be a little ahead of things right now. With Easter, we do our best to keep the focus on Jesus while also celebrating the beauty of spring. To keep me from going overboard on an Easter basket, I was able to narrow down to a few key categories so I thought I’d share some favorites from each with you all. I think I’m most excited about the books I picked out because both kids have been loving reading/looking through books lately. It’s been so fun to share some old favorite books with them, as well as discover new ones. I hope this post is helpful for any of you building an Easter basket for your kiddos this year!

THE BASKET + ESSENTIALS

baskets, faux grass, and of course the Easter eggs!

BOOKS TO READ

Love books about the true meaning of Easter, along with ones that celebrate spring and new life!

SMALL TOYS & CRAFTS

Creative toys are my favorite but of course a stuffed animal and toy truck are always well loved!

SOMETHING TO WEAR

There are so many cute spring outfits for little ones! I’m looking forward to ditching the darker winter colors for some pastel hues!


Do you do anything to make Easter special for your family? Would love to hear if you have any favorite traditions!

10 Indulgent Easter Brunch Recipes

April 7, 2020

Here are 10 indulgent Easter brunch recipes! Enjoy! - M Loves M @marmar

Can you believe that Easter is this weekend? To be honest, I’m a little sad that we won’t be able to be at church and celebrating the most important holiday in our faith with our family. I have to remind myself though that Jesus endured a lot more than we are right now so I’m leaning into His strength and trying to make it as special as we can. Ever since I was little I’ve loved the Easter traditions, from making sweet bread with my mom, planning the egg hunts, picking out that perfect Easter dress}, and of course all the food at Easter brunch. We all love a good brunch, and since we can’t go out to our favorite brunch spots right now, Easter is an ideal time to turn your home into your new favorite brunch spot! So let’s take brunch up a notch and indulge in some delicious and decadent recipes! Keep reading to see my list of ten indulgent Easter brunch recipes!
