Easter is the perfect time to let creativity bloom, and what better way to celebrate than with a Crayola-themed Easter basket? Bursting with color, imagination, and fun, this unique basket idea goes beyond the usual chocolate eggs and bunnies—offering hours of screen-free play and artistic expression for little hands.
This Easter, I wanted to create something different—something bright, creative, and just plain fun. So instead of a traditional chocolate-filled basket, I made a Crayola-themed Easter basket, and let me tell you… it turned out SO cute!
What to Include in Your Crayola Easter Basket:
1. Crayola Crayons & Markers
Classic must-haves! Toss in a box of Crayola crayons in a spring-themed palette or scented markers for an extra fun twist.
2. Coloring Books
Choose Easter-themed coloring books or ones with animals, spring flowers, or even Crayola’s own activity books.
3. Washable Paints & Brushes
Get messy (but in a washable way). Crayola’s washable paints are perfect for little artists and stress-free for parents.
4. Sidewalk Chalk
A seasonal favorite! Crayola’s jumbo chalk comes in bright pastels—perfect for outdoor fun once the snow melts away.
5. Craft Supplies
Glue sticks, construction paper, pom-poms, and googly eyes—fill your basket with items that spark creative crafts all spring long.
6. Crayola Twistables or Gel Pens
For something a little different, include Crayola Twistables or fun gel pens—great for kids who love to add flair to their artwork.
7. A Personal Touch
Add a handmade tag, a small plush bunny, or a few Crayola-themed eggs filled with stickers, erasers, or jellybeans for a sweet surprise.
