Just because you’re stuck at home doesn’t mean you can’t make this Easter a great one.

If your Easter bunny has been too busy social distancing to shop for baskets for your family… don’t panic. There is still time to compose a really fun basket of spring goodies that you can either order online or shop online and pick up at retailers. While candy and chocolate are always a good start, consider adding a few Easter toys or games that fit your child’s individual personality. With the days and nights starting to get warmer, it’s the perfect time to choose ones that will get your kids outside and active no matter what their specific interests are. So hop to it!

FOR THE EXPLORER BUNNY…

Spring is the ideal time to get outdoors and let kids explore their environment. If your child is curious about nature, look for fun explorer kits with magnifying glasses, bug catchers and binoculars to stick in their basket. If your kids are older, consider a microscope, compass or other camping gear. Be sure to include an age-appropriate book on nature so that they can look up and identify the bugs, birds and plants around them. If they are more of a night owl, consider a headlamp, night vision goggles or a telescope with a chart of the constellations.

FOR THE ARTISTIC BUNNY…

Capture the magic of the spring season with an assortment of art supplies for your budding Picasso. Include sidewalk chalk, watercolors, markers and a sketch book.

Some of the most interesting art activities can involve nature and observing the world around them. Plus, being outside means that you can be a little more messy which is a great opportunity for a tie dye kit or mosaic stone kit. You can also include supplies to paint so many fun outdoor projects like birdhouses, garden pots and pet rocks.

FOR THE ACTIVE BUNNY…

GLOW BATTLE. There is a really fun selection of basket-worthy active games that you can still order online at starluxgames.com. Glow Battle is a great game to get the whole family outside and moving.
