A Colorful Easter Surprise: The Ultimate Crayola Easter Basket

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.

Tips for Assembling Your Basket:

Use a colorful basket or even a reusable Crayola tote.

Add crinkle paper or Easter grass in bright Crayola hues.

Stick to a color scheme (pastels, rainbow, or even a monochrome look).

Wrap it in cellophane and finish with a big bow for that Pinterest-worthy finish!
