Books…coloring book…crayons…travel game…card games…action figures…hot wheel cars….silly putty…soap bubbles (you know what I mean–the kind you blow through the little wand)…yo-yo…squirt gun.

I burned a CD for my 6-year-old nephew and my sister told me he played that thing to death!

You can put in his favorite candy, a DVD he likes, some pj’s, stuff like that!

There’s a cute Mr. Potato Head easter bunny. Crayons, colouring books, puzzles, playdoh are always good. If you’re trying to avoid sugar shock, you could do animal crackers or smaller packets of chocolate (mini eggs, etc.). Since it’s spring, get him a fun outside toy to get him playing outdoors!

Some of the usual (easter candy etc.), and then some fun kid’s toys and games. I don’t give my child a lot of candy, so I’ve been every route possible. I generally avoid baskets, especially now that he’s older. This year my son is 11. I got him a neat box at a craft store to keep his “treasures” in, and that will be his “easter basket”. He has painting kits that he can decorate the box with himself. The craft stores also have bins quite often with $ 1.00 – $ 2.00 gifts items. My son likes neat little crafty things, and I love that this is a good way for him to spend time on a rainy day rather than watching tv or playing video games. Puzzles, paint-by-number (maybe the fuzzy poster would be better for a younger boy), neat little playing card games, design a mug kits…there are so many neat little craft things out there.
