Here is a great list of non-candy Easter Basket filler ideas for your kiddos. If you are anything like our family, my kids still have candy from  Valentine’s Day that hasn’t been eaten – and I don’t want to get them an Easter Basket full of MORE candy!

(Plus, I’m sure the grandparents will give them plenty of candy anyway.) Here are some ideas to help them have fun experiences playing or exploring that can be more valuable to their childhood development, rather than just more chocolate. 😉

Easter Basket Ideas for Boys or Girls:

Hoglet by HedgeHog Health Tactile Computer Mouse

Getting children to focus, especially kids with learning differences like ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), can be a huge challenge.

Traditional computer pointing devices don’t provide the physical stimulation that many of these kids need. Trackpads, keyboards, and traditional mice are cold, hard, and lifeless. Trackpads require fine motor skills that younger children and kids with ASD often lack.

That’s why we created a computer mouse specifically for learning-challenged kids. It’s designed from the ground up to provide the rewarding multi-sensory experience these children crave. Simply put, it’s a delight to look at, hold and use. Kids – and adults, too – can’t keep their hands off it.

My 9-year-old daughter who does not have learning disabilities absolutely LOVES this mouse!  She loves the physical stimulation and says that clicking the mouse “is extremely satisfying.”  

Sounds like a gadget that is great for everyone, and not just those who struggle with autism or ADHD.  It comes in 4 different bright colors!

Get a STEAM learning box from Kiwi Co!  My kids got some of these for Christmas last year and LOVED them – check out my review on Facebook of these boxes!

Kids Night In – from Night In Boxes! – 

these are perfect activity boxes filled with fun to do with your kids either on a rainy day, while they are with the grandparents or a babysitter!

Here is what one customer said:

“Coming from a former teacher’s perspective, this kit gets my “teacher approved” stamp. The kit includes a pamphlet filled with activities to do with your child! Everything you need is right in the box! There are art activities, a music and movement activity, a few food activities, a read-aloud suggestion to match the theme of the box, and the list goes on. I especially love how the read-aloud section comes with specific age-appropriate leveled questions to ask your child before and after reading. This makes it so easy for parents to spend quality time with their child without having to plan what to do! Even better, all of the materials were right in the box! So easy!”

True Stories of Animal Heroes: Onyx: The Wolf Who Found a New Way to be a Leader

Based on real-life animal tales, the books reveal that not all heroes wear capes – some have four legs, a wet nose, and a brave heart. Big or small, you are sure to fall in love with these animal friends, all of whom have lived truly wild lives. With adorable illustrations from Rachel Qiuqi and Anneli Bray, these stories are sure to fill your heart with joy. Each story also has a fact section at the back, so you can learn more about the animals these stories were inspired by.

Onyx, the wolf pup, was the runt of the litter. Although he was bullied by his siblings for being the smallest and scruffiest, Onyx knew that he could lead a pack better than anyone. As he grew up, he learned to resolve conflict, becoming a step-dad to another family of wolves who had lost their alpha. But it all changed when the toughest pup of the family partnered with a rival pack… This story is based on the real-life story of the reintroduction of wolves in the northern mountains of Yellowstone Park.
