Fun Easter Basket Ideas for Kids 

Easter has arrived, and the school holidays are in full swing. If your kids are already bouncing off the walls (even before the chocolate hits), it’s time to channel that energy into something creative! This year, get your creative juices flowing and build your own Easter basket – a hands-on, fun-filled activity that keeps little hands busy and adds an extra dash of magic to the holiday!

We'll help you craft the ultimate Easter basket in 3 easy steps. Let the fun begin!

Step One: The Basket 

All good things start with a solid foundation, so make sure you select the perfect base for your Easter Basket creation. Sure, a classic wicker basket is cute, but why not take it up a notch this year?

Luckily, Kmart has just launched their Easter range, and it’s safe to say that they have outdone themselves this year. Whether it’s this adorable Stitch Easter Basket, a Rainbow Rope Bunny Basket, or an adorable Bluey one, they’ve got you covered for a functional yet festive keepsake that will last for years to come. 

Step Two: The Decorations: 

Now we’ve got the basket, it’s time to let the kids go wild and personalise their masterpiece to their heart’s content! For all things crafty and colourful, Kmart has got your back.

Pastel and Iridescent Shredded Paper, whimsical gingham ribbons, and classic wooden stickers all make for the perfect finishing touches to your kids’ very own Easter basket. Dress things up with some faux poppies or peonies, and add a touch of sparkle with glitter glue or Easter-themed charms for an extra festive flair!

Step Three: Choccies, of Course! 

What’s an Easter Egg Basket without chocolate? This is your cue to head to Woolies and stock up on all the sweet treats! Fill your basket with creamy milk chocolate bunnies, the crowd-favourite Mini Eggs, classic Cadbury Eggs, and indulgent Lindt Gold Bunnies.  

While you’re at it, why not throw in some Easter Marshmallows, Trolley Lollies, and a few surprise-filled Kinder Eggs for good measure?

Looking for More Fun Ideas? 

There’s no better way to spend the holidays than with some quality family bonding. To top off your DIY Easter basket, fill it with plenty of fun activities to keep the kids entertained and inspired. 

Whether it’s a Paint your Own Eggs Kit, some colouring in books, a festive baking afternoon complete with matching Bluey Aprons, or even an Easter-themed manicure there's no shortage of ways to add creativity and joy to the holiday!

Your Build Your Own Easter Basket is now Complete! 

Now that your Easter basket is bursting with creativity, chocolate, and fun, it's time to sit back and watch the kids enjoy their masterpiece!
