The bunny will be hopping into our calendar before we know it and as my kids are getting older I’m finding new and fun things to fill their Easter basket with. The more I pulled together my list of items the more I realized this is really for elementary age kids, I’m thinking between ages 5-9. So here’s my 60+ Easter Basket Fillers for Elementary Age Kids.
I thought long and hard about items that elementary-age kids use, play and enjoy and decided to divide it into different categories so it would be easy for you to navigate. There are over 60 ideas, and I’m sure a few of them of them tried and true, but as I’ve been pulling together different things I really tried to think about cost, size and usefulness as well.
