Easter with little ones is one of those occasions that is genuinely
more fun than you expect. Babies who have no idea what is happening
but look adorable in bunny ears. Toddlers who are absolutely convinced
the chocolate is theirs. It’s chaotic, it’s messy, and it’s wonderful.
Here’s how to make the most of it this year.
## Easter Basket Ideas for Babies
Skip the chocolate for the little ones and fill their basket
with things they’ll actually use and enjoy:
– Soft toys and plush bunnies — Jellycat makes the most
beautiful Easter-themed plush toys and they hold up beautifully
– Board books — Easter and spring themed books are perfect
for this age and something they’ll return to all year
– Sensory toys — crinkle toys, soft balls and textured items
are ideal for babies discovering the world
– Wooden toys — Melissa & Doug offer excellent options that
are safe, durable and look beautiful in any nursery
## Easter Ideas for Toddlers
Toddlers are at the perfect age for Easter. Old enough to
understand the egg hunt concept, young enough to be completely
delighted by finding a plastic egg in a bush.
– Egg hunt at home — hide plastic eggs around the garden
or living room filled with small treats or stickers.
The hunt matters far more than what’s inside at this age.
– Easter craft morning — finger painting eggs, decorating
with stickers, or simple colouring pages.
Messy but memorable.
– Baking together — simple biscuits with Easter cutters.
Toddlers love being involved even if the result is abstract.
– A day out — many Joburg venues run Easter events
for little ones over the long weekend.
Get them out of the house and into the fresh air.
## What to Do With Last Year’s Easter Toys
Here’s something most parents don’t think about — the toys
from last Easter that are no longer age appropriate are
worth something to another family right now.
That soft toy your baby has outgrown, the activity centre
that’s been sitting unused, the wooden puzzle your toddler
has mastered and moved past — submit them to LuxiKids
before Easter and turn last year’s gifts into this year’s
Easter budget.
It takes three minutes to submit. We respond within 48 hours
with a cash offer. You declutter, you get paid, and another
child gets a beautiful pre-loved toy at a fair price.
## Wishing You a Wonderful Easter
From all of us at LuxiKids — we hope you and your little
ones have a beautiful long weekend.
May the egg hunts be easy, the chocolate be plentiful,
and the toddler meltdowns be brief.
