If you’re looking for non-toy Easter gift ideas for you toddlers that are perfect for giving or adding to baskets, you’ve come to the right place.
Toddlers are a difficult crowd come Easter time. They’re still a bit too small for much chocolate and small toys pose a choking hazard. Most parents are already drowning in toys at this age, anyway, so getting more is probably not a good idea.
Don’t worry, though, we’ve got you covered. These toddler-friendly Easter gifts are going to delight that little tot (and the parents too). If you need more ideas, you might find a few toddler friendly gift ideas in this list of 20+ Non-Toy Easter Gift Ideas for Kids too.
Non-toy Easter Gift Ideas for Toddlers
Water Bottle
Summer won’t be far off so keep them hydrated on hot days with their own spill-proof water bottle. Something like this is easy for toddlers to open and drink from plus they’re going to love the cute designs.
Bubbles
It’s a documented fact that you can’t go wrong when mixing toddlers and bubbles (unless they dump all of it on your hardwood…). This is a pretty safe, but really fun, gift idea.
Sidewalk Chalk
Give them a break from drawing on the walls with some outdoor chalk. Now they can create even bigger works of art and showcase them to the entire world.
Portable Night Light
Little ones like having a light around at bedtime. This one is a nightlight that doubles as a lantern so they won’t get hurt in the dark on their way to tell you their socks fell off.
Toddler Umbrella
Although giving a toddler an umbrella is dangerously close to offering a weapon, a toddler-friendly version will make it fun for both of you. Perfectly sized for little ones and no sharp edges.
Cute Easter Shirts for Toddlers
Toddlers always look so cute in seasonal clothes. Add something adorable that your little one can wear all day on Easter in their basket for fun non-toy gift ideas.
Fun Soap
Toddlers love the bath so why not get them something they can use in their. Getting washed will be a lot easier with fun soap that has a design or prize inside.
Personalized Bowl
Everyone will know exactly which bowl belongs to the toddler (to avoid arguments from the toddler) and the little one will get an opportunity to learn their name. Win-win.
Colouring Book
Toddlers are still a bit wild when it comes to colour so a giant floor pad is a good choice.
Socks
Maybe this is just my toddlers but we seem to forever be buying socks. These ones are adorable cats but anything that suits your toddler’s interest would be a perfect sock choice. Bonus is that they fit in those fillable eggs.
Play-Doh Easter Eggs
Play-Doh is a great gift for toddlers. They love the sensory aspects of squishing it and older ones can try their hand at making creations. Always a good gift pick.
Stamps
Stamps are easier for the under 5 crowd to create pictures than drawing and colouring. They don’t need the skill level and will delight in making the pictures appear on the page.
Wooden Bunny Lacing Practice
Montessori style “toys” like this are great for helping toddlers develop their hand-eye coordination. Love that they’re little colorful bunnies; it’s perfect for Easter!
Reusable Straws
Most toddlers can use straws a lot easier than drinking from a cup. Choosing reusable is a lot better for the environment.
Toddler Book With an Easter Theme
Pick something toddler friendly like a board book about an Easter adventure.
Accessories
Toddlers love dressing up. Hair accessories, necklaces, and even watches are a great gift idea. Choose something that’s child-safe and non-toxic.
Slide
A small slide is perfect for toddlers who are still learning to navigate outdoor play structures. This one will work indoors and out depending on the weather where you live.
Spring Shoes
Toddlers always seem to be either losing or growing out of their shoes. Help lighten the burden of shoe shopping and get a new pair for Easter. It’s great that toddlers are happy with pretty much any gift.
Toddler Backpack
Little kids love having all of their stuff with them wherever they go. A toddler sized backpack is the perfect place for them to store it all. Toddlers also really like wearing backpacks for some reason.
The good news about shopping for toddlers, especially younger ones, is they pretty much like everything you give them. Just use some tissue or pretty paper in your gift and they’re sure to be delighted.
