How and What to Pack in Your Baskets
4 simple steps

1. First, decide whether your gift will be for a boy or girl and choose an age category:( Under 2)  (2-4), (5-7), (8-10). Attach a note to the handle of your Easter basket that says "BOY" or "GIRL" and the age category (i.e. BOY, age 5-9).

2. Find a basket that you can use to create your Easter Basket. Take a look at the items listed below to judge the size basket you think you'll need.

3. Then, fill your basket with a variety of gifts:

- TOYS: small cars, balls, dolls, stuffed animals, plastic kazoos, harmonicas, yo-yos, small Etch A Sketch, toys that light up or make noise (with extra batteries), Slinky, etc. Books, DVDs, Easter Eggs,etc.

- SCHOOL SUPPLIES: pens, pencils and sharpener, crayons or markers, stamps and ink pad sets, coloring books, writing pads or paper, solar calculators, etc.

- HYGIENE ITEMS: toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, soap, comb, bubble bath, washcloth, etc.

- ESSENTIAL CLOTHING: socks, T-shirts, slippers, underwear, ball caps, etc.

- MORE IDEAS: manufacturer's-packaged candy (i.e. no loose jelly beans or candies), age-appropriate hard candy (i.e. not too small for a young child to choke on), lollipops, mints, gum, sunglasses, flashlights with extra batteries, toy jewelry sets, hair clips, watches, small picture books, gift certificates, books, etc. The Easter Story, ETC. Easter Eggs,etc.

4. Wrap your basket in a cellophane bag. And, be sure to mark an appropriate age range & gender for your basket (as listed in step 1 above) on an attached tag
