Fun and Cheap Non-Candy Easter Basket Items
Easter is a great holiday. Kids love to hunt for eggs and get baskets full of candy. You can sing songs of the Easter Bunny together, and decorate boiled eggs with paints and crayons and put a breakfast strata or Easter breakfast bake in the oven! Make the holiday even more fun with some great, non-candy toys you can add to their baskets, without breaking the bank.
