"As a mom whose love language is gift-giving, I get really hyped up when the holidays come around. Seeing as Easter is basically the spring version of Christmas (IMO), I can’t help but act on my urge to put together baskets of goodies. It’s such a fun way to shower little ones with love. I tend to be a little extra and go all out with the Easter- and spring-themed toys, but most kids are excited by even the simplest of treats.
However, if you have babies or young toddlers or you simply prefer not to give your child a basket filled with sugary snacks, there are other great alternatives. We suggest including skill-building and educational toys that can last well beyond Easter weekend. Brands like Melissa & Doug specialize in toys that foster imagination and connection while making the perfect additions to an Easter basket. Since it’s no secret that we’re Melissa & Doug stans, we scoured their extensive toy catalog and picked 10 of the best Melissa & Doug Easter and spring toys (plus a few that are perfect year-round!).
