Easter baskets| Toddler edition.

The shops are filled with chocolate eggs, bunnies, chicks and even carrot shaped chocolates!
Easter is fast approaching and last year we made the decision to put together a basket of goodies each year for Alyssa, until she is old enough to 'grow out of it'. We don't like Alyssa having too much Chocolate/Sweets- for obvious reasons- she is only 2.. so we looked for things that were 'Eastery' but not coated in sugar. Of course we did add a little Chocolate for her too.

The first thing we picked up was a cute touchy feely book, called 'Are you my mummy'. It's a cute little story about a duckling looking for its Mother. This was actually purchased from the poundshop!
Next Alyssa picked out some cute bunny ear hairclips, again found in the poundshop- a nice little extra! ;)
The poundshop also had a lot of craft kits for Easter, we already purchased foam animals, bonnets and egg decorating kits which went down well, so decided to buy the Mask making kit too!
The last thing in her basket is a Milkybar egg, and a little matching bunny. These were purchased from Tesco, the egg was £1 (taken out of the box) and the bunnies on 2 for £1.. although we have only put one in.

The basket was also purchased from the poundshop and is stuffed with leftover Hamster bedding we had lying around!

We don't go overboard with Easter, we aren't religious so have no reason to celebrate it, but it's always nice to be able to buy Alyssa a treat for the holidays. 

I hope this gave you some ideas, and I hope you all have a wonderful Easter!! :-)
