Easter Basket Ideas with Crayola

There are so many possibilities when it comes to Easter Basket stuffers. Candy, trinkets, stuffed animals…but what are some things that you child will really love? What can you use? What will be worth the money? The answer is simple: Crayola.

 

Each year I sit and think of what are the items that my kids will be thrilled to see and actually use (not end up in under the bed until garage sale season). It’s pretty hard to decide… I know that my kids are pretty artsy and once they’re a bit older might enjoy some machine embroidery designs that they can work on and hang up around the house with pride. For now, though, I’m stuck thinking of some useful toys. Here are some top ideas for your baskets.

Making my children’s Easter Baskets is honestly super exciting for me! Celebrating Easter, the resurrection of Christ, is my favorite holiday. I love talking with my children about the story of Christ’s gift of salvation. My kids love Easter because they like getting fun toys and candy. I mean, can you blame them though. As a child my favorite holiday being Easter. The joy of running around collecting eggs with my brother. Then finding your basket! It was also hidden super well and if you found your siblings you had to leave it alone! No telling, they had to find it on their own. My kids also love the thrill of locating their Easter baskets. This year Crayola has some amazing, affordable new treats to stuff your baskets with.

Crayola’s Kid-Powered Spray Art is more fun then you may image. This sprayer comes with 2 neon spray paint bottles and 2 stencil sheets. You can free form spray or use the stencil sheets. Both are fun and allow your child to express themselves with bright colors in a safe way. What is amazing about this product is you can spray on the sidewalk, grass or snow! No matter the season or where you live you can spray to your hearts content.

Crayola’s Kid-Powered Spray Kit is only $14.99 and will make any kid jump for joy when they see it next to their basket this Easter Sunday.

 

 

My children, along with pretty much every other child, loves to play with chalk. Chalk by Crayola is always made with non-toxic and high quality materials.

Little Adventures Dress Up

My kids love to dress up. Princesses, sword waving pirates, galactic warriors and fairies, all of them are in top play here in the Fox house. No
matter that day of the week, we end up putting on at least one dress up outfit. After trying so many brands so have established our favorite – Little Adventures Dress Up’s.

Little Adventures makes the highest quality dress up clothing for boys and girls. My favorite feature is that their dress up outfits are machine washable, which is key to any wardrobe purchase. Kids are messy. They go through potty training, and the accidents that coincide with potty training. Kids want to eat their dinner and will refuse to take off their dress up clothes. All of Little Adventures dress up outfits can be washed in your residential washing machines – just read the tag to see what the individual garment recommends.

My daughter always loves her Little Adventure dress up clothing because they are comfortable. Many time rough lace and detailing are used in play clothing that end up scratching and irritating the child’s skin. Occasionally she wants to wear an undershirt with a dress to feel more grown up (as she does in the photos shown in this article), but no undershirts are needed with Little Adventure outfits.

Sleep Zzz Pillow

My kids hate sleep. Maybe not really, but I feel like they do. I don’t understand why! I love to sleep and considering they’re my children, I thought they would too! However, I find it much easier to sleep when I have my front sleeper pillow so considering I have tried every technique in the book, like not letting them watch TV an hour before bedtime, tiring them out before bedtime, I’m going to try a technique that helps me sleep better. I even keep an eye out for bed bugs (known as punaise de lit) to make sure they don’t get bitten at night! They have never been those kids that sleep through the night….like ever. At ages 4 and 3 respectively, I have just given up on them sleep through the night or even in their own bed for one of them. Like clockwork, with their Seal plush in hand, they come knocking on my door in the middle of the night. This all changed when I took a leaf out of my own book and we tried out the Sleep Zzz Pillow.

When I first saw the Sleep Zzz Pillow I thought it was just another fun pillow like an Anime Dakimakura Pillow. A body pillow for kids. I had never seen one and thought it was a fun concept. Then my kids tried it out, and my kids fought over this pillow! They both LOVE how it feels to be snuggled up in it. For one of the only times in my sons life (he is almost 3) he slept through the night!!!! What a blessing! My husband and I attribute his better sleep completely on the Sleep Zzz Pillow.

The effects of this pillow, in my option, give the illusion of being next to another person; being snuggled in. My son thrives on touch. He needs to feel a person next to him when sleep for safety and comfort reasons. I desperately want him in his own bed. This pillow helps keep him in his bed longer than ever before. He still isn’t a perfect sleeper and ends up in my bed every night. But I have noticed that when he initially falls asleep he stays asleep longer than ever before. There is no other reason for this other than the use of the Sleep Zzz Pillow.

The Sleep Zzz Pillow comes in one size but have a bunch of fun covers that are completely washed like any other pillowcase.

  • Polka Dots
  • Birdies
  • Sports
  • Gray Chevron
  • Blue/Green Chevron

For an additional fee you can have your pillow embroidered!

This pillow is the best investment you can make for your sleep struggles. With so many covers to pick from, you can use it from you can keep it fun and whimsical. I love that its the perfect length for toddlers and children, so they don’t age out of the pillow in a year. It really can grow with your child and last years and years. You can also pass if from one child to the next….that is if you don’t end up buying one for each kid first!
