Natural Easter Gift Basket Supplies
Fabric Reversible Handmade Easter Basket– I am obsessed with these adorable baskets from Etsy. They are handmade in California with quality quilting cotton fabric. These baskets are reversible and can be personalized too. They even have some cute little treat bags too, check out all their products here.
EcoShred Easter Basket Filler– EcoShred is made of recycled paper printed with soy based inks. It is recyclable and compostable, the perfect alternative to plastic basket fillers. Click here to see it on Earth Hero. Use code CLEANGREEN10 to get 10% off your Earth Hero order.
Eco-Kids Eco Eggs Coloring & Grass Growing Kit– This egg dying kit uses fruit, plant and vegetable extract colors to dye your Easter eggs. It also comes with grass seed and soil to teach your little one all about grass growing. We used this last year and it worked great! We usually buy brown eggs, so the colors weren’t as bright. This year, I will buy white eggs to make the colors brighter. Click here to check Amazon price. Click here to check price on Earth Hero (it was $10 cheaper on Earth Hero when I checked). Use code CLEANGREEN10 for 10% off on Earth Hero. Don’t want the grass? Here’s another egg dye option.
Earth Paints Wood Egg Craft Kit– This kit comes with 6 hand-made wooden eggs, 6 Natural Earth Paint colors and 1 bamboo paint brush. It comes with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and white paint. These make a great activity, plus they will last for years. Grab yours on Amazon here. Or on Earth Hero here. Use code CLEANGREEN10 for 10% off your order.
Hollow Wooden Eggs– I love these wooden eggs from Red Barn Toys (located in Salem, Oregon) on Etsy. They use non-toxic paint and a beeswax polish. You can use them as or decorate them more with stickers and paint. Red Barn Toys also has unpainted eggs and earth toned eggs, along with several other Easter toys, check out their Etsy store here.
Cardboard Easter Eggs– These cardboard Easter eggs from Oriental Trading Company are a great alternative to the plastic fillable Easter eggs. You can even decorate them yourselves with stickers and markers.
Personalized Easter Basket Tag– I found these cute basket tags on Etsy. They could also be used as ornaments or decorations. They are handmade of wood in North Carolina. You can choose from several different colors and personalize it with a name and design of your choice. Click here to get yours. See more Easter basket tag ideas on Etsy here.
Natural Easter Gifts- Toys & Gardening
Hatch & Grow Seed Kit– This gift is great for older kids and adults. It includes an eco-friendly pulp egg filled with seed balls (seed balls could be a choking hazard and/or look like candy, keep away from small children). Choose from wildflower seeds, fresh herbs, wellness (sage, lavender and echinacea seeds) and spring veggies. Check them out here.
Mini Easter Flower Garden Grow Kit– This set comes with a small flower pot, handmade flower seed paper and a soil puck for the seeds. The seed paper contains an assortment of butterfly-attracting annual and perennial flower seeds. This kit is made in the US by the Nature Favors Etsy shop. Check it out here.
Miniature Rabbit Toy in Hollow Wooden Egg– I got some of these for my daughter last year and she absolutely loved them! The bunnies are about 1″ tall and handmade with wool and cotton. The egg is hand polished with beeswax and olive oil. This shop has a bunch of other handmade stuffed animals, check out their Etsy shop Wee Things Fiber Arts.
Personalized Easter Tic Tac Toe– These tic tac toe boards are made of solid wood. You can choose from several different colors and personalize it with a name. They are handmade in Colorado and the come in all kinds of designs, not just Easter. See them here.
Green Toys- I’ve talked about this company before, but I have to mention them again. Green Toys recycles milk jugs into plastic toys. These toys are made in the US and they are free of BPA, phthalates and PVC. I like this Build-a-Bouquet play set as an Easter gift. We got this Watering Can toy for my daughter a couple years ago and it has held up so well. Especially considering it sits outside in the PNW weather all the time. The Ferry Boat bath toy has also been a huge hit in our house. This Tea Set would make a great Easter gift too. They have tons of other fun toys, check them out here.
Wooden Bunny Items- I got this wooden bunny piggy bank for my daughter for Christmas and she and I both love it. It is from an Etsy site called Arks and Animals, I love supporting people on Etsy. This guy makes some amazing wooden toys. He also has an adorable wooden rabbit puzzle and a rabbit pull toy. Check out his Etsy shop here.
Natural Easter Gifts- Art Supplies
Easter Egg Sun Catchers– This kit comes with 4 egg shapes and colored tissue paper. You can choose to add the sticky contact paper or use glue to stick in all together. We have made something similar and I recommend the contact paper. This is the perfect craft for kids of all ages. Get your here.
Eco-Kids All The Coloring Busy Box– I love this busy box, it is perfect for kids of all ages. It includes egg shaped sidewalk chalk, finger paints and colored pencils. All the products are made in Maine, with non-toxic ingredients and recyclable packaging. Get yours here. Use code CLEANGREEN10 for 10% off your Earth Hero order. If you want to buy these products separately, check out all the Eco-Kids products here.
Easter Activity Book– This book is perfect for kids 4-8 years old. It has dot to dot, word searches, mazes, coloring pages and more. The pages are thick, so markers won’t bleed through, and the pages rip out. Grab yours here.
Sprout Plantable Colored Pencils– If you are looking for fun, colored pencils, I’ve got you covered! After you are done with these colored pencils, you can actually plant them. What a fun idea! They are made from sustainably harvested FSC Certified wood. The biodegradable stub end contains seeds- either herbs, vegetables or flowers. Click here to see them on Amazon. See them on Earth Hero here.
Eco-Kids Beeswax Dinosaur Egg Crayons– These crayons are made with beeswax, soy wax, stearic acid and non-toxic pigments. They come with some stickers to decorate your eggs too. Check Amazon price here. Check Earth Hero price here. Use code CLEANGREEN10 for 10% off Earth Hero.
Water Wow! On the Go– We have so many of these Water Wow books. You just fill the paint brush with water and let your kid go to town. The water makes the colors and images appear and when it dries, it goes back to white. So you can use these again and again. They have dozens of different themes and kinds, check them all out here.
Natural Easter Gifts- Bath
Bath Crayons/Color Drops– Pacha Bath Crayons are perfect for little hands and promoting fine motor skills. I also like Honeysticks Beeswax Bath Crayons, these are perfect for older kids and they come with a handy tin to keep them in. Honeysticks also has these fun Bath Color Drops made with food grade coloring without any fragrance. Check out all the Honeysticks products here on Earth Hero. Or here on Amazon.
Honest Co Bubble Bath– We love Honest Co in our house! They do have some products that aren’t perfect when it comes to ingredients, but most of their products are pretty safe. This bubble bath is a favorite, we also loved their diapers when my daughter was younger.
Healthier Sweet Swaps
Smashmallow Variety Pack– I personally cannot stand Peeps, but I know it is a huge part of Easter for most people. Smashmallows are a great, cleaner alternative to Peeps.
Jelly Beans and more- Jelly beans were an Easter staple in my house growing up. So, if you just can’t give up the jelly beans, try Surf Sweets or YumEarth. They don’t use any corn syrup or artificial dyes and they use organic fruit juice. Get your Surf Sweets Jelly Beans here. Check out YumEarth jelly beans here. YumEarth also has this variety pack with fruit snack, lollipops and the sour jelly beans, check it out here.
Fruit Snacks and Fruit Pouches- Annie’s fruit snacks are perfect for Easter since they are already in bunny shapes. Annie’s bunny fruit snacks are organic, made without artificial flavors, food dyes or high fructose corn syrup. If you are looking for a healthier option, the Pumpkin Tree Peter Rabbit Organics pouches are the way to go. They are made from organic fruits and veggies and lemon juice concentrate, that’s it! Check out all the flavors here.
Smart Sweets– This brand of candy is SO good! They don’t use any artificial sweeteners or cane sugar, they are plant based and they don’t contain any common food allergens. They also use fruit and vegetables to color instead of nasty food dyes. The ingredients are in no way perfect, but they are a much better alternative to conventional candies. See all their flavors here.
Hu Chocolate– Hu chocolate is so worth the price! Their chocolate is made with simple ingredients that they “obsessively vet”. Their chocolate is paleo, vegan, organic, soy free, refined sugar free, with no emulsifiers or soy lecithin. Crunchy mint is my favorite flavor. They also have grain free crackers, chocolate covered hunks, chocolate gems and the best chocolate chips ever. Check out all their products here (I highly recommend their date sweetened chocolate chips). Get 5% cash back on Hu Kitchen’s website when you buy through Rakuten.
