Easter is just around the corner, and if you are like me, you are trying to put your kid’s Easter baskets together before the stores run out of all the cute easter bunny-themed items. Today, I am sharing what I would put in a one-year-old’s Easter Basket. While I love to put Easter items in the basket, I try to focus on items that help welcome Spring, like swimsuits and outdoor toys. If you are looking for the best Easter Basket Ideas for one-year-old boys for Easter morning, I hope I can help you find exactly what you want.

Must-Have Baskets for Easter Gifts
First things first, start with an Easter Basket! There are many options for easter baskets: budget-friendly, splurge-worthy, easter themed, or even a simple household basket. It is totally up to you and your gift-giving style!
I like this one from the Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia line at Target for one-year-olds. It is simple and budget-friendly.
If you want to spend more, you can find an adorable easter basket at Crate and Barrel or Pottery Barn.
What to Put in the Easter Eggs for One Year Olds
I always did an easter egg hunt for the kids, even when they were babies. If they can crawl, they can look for eggs! I usually get my easter eggs from Target or even the Dollar Store. Every year, I try to save the plastic eggs for the next year, but we always lose some because my kids love to play with the eggs.
For one-year-olds, honestly, you probably don’t need to put anything in the eggs. The fun for them is in the hunt. But I have some ideas if you want to put some fun things in them. Also, I don’t put jelly beans in eggs for toddlers since they are so small, but go ahead and buy some for yourself!
If you want to put little toys in the eggs, I would suggest more giant plastic eggs so you can fit age-appropriate things in them.
Snacks and Treats:
- Annie’s Organic Cheddar Bunnies
- Annie’s Organic Friends Bunny Grahams
- Freeze-dried Yogurt Bites
- Animal Crackers
Small Toys and Items
- Socks
- Little People – You may need more giant plastic eggs
- Hot Wheels
- Alphabet Magnets

Easter Books:
An Easter Basket is the perfect time to give new books! These are my favorite books:

- Construction Site: Spring Delight: An Easter Lift-the-Flap Book
- Where Do Diggers Hunt for Easter Eggs?: A Diggers board book
- Never Touch a Grumpy Bunny!
Bath Toys:
I always think toddlers need new toys for bath time, which are a great addition to any Easter Basket!
- Munchkin® Float & Play Bubbles
- Nesting Cups

Toddler Feeding Supplies
Another great idea for Easter Basket Fillers is things that little hands can use while eating.

Plush Toys
I always put a plush toy in my kids’ Easter baskets. I think they are fun, and they love the different animals they get yearly. What is wild is that some plush toys are budget-friendly while others are spendy. That being said, I included something for every budget below!
- Easter Bunnies
- Melissa & Doug Burrow Bunny Rabbit 9″ Stuffed Animal
- Jellycat Bashful Beige Bunny Stuffed Animal
