101 Non-Candy Easter Basket Ideas

Avoid a sugar overload this Easter and fill your kids’ baskets with non-candy treats.

I don’t know about you, but I HATE giving my kids those pre-made easter baskets that are filled with chocolate and toys my kid’s probably won’t use.  I also don’t like packing their baskets with just chocolate and candy.  Don’t get me wrong, I do give them a few little chocolates, but we concentrate on non-candy items.

I have put together a list of Easter basket fillers that are not chocolate or candy.  Many of these can be found for pretty cheap at your local dollar store or discount store.
