Chocolate Easter bunnies, marshmallow chicks, and jelly beans are all fun Easter basket treats, but if you are looking for some non-candy options to make your Easter baskets Family Entourage is here with a handful of items to elevate your Easter Basket.
Ready, Set, Rescue: Action-Packed Playtime with Paw Patrol
Bring the adventure home this Easter and Spring Break with toys that spark imagination, creativity and hands-on fun. PAW Patrol, to the Lookout! Our kids love PAW Patrol. The PAW Patrol Search & Rescue: Chase’s Launch n’ Rescue Cruiser delivers action-packed excitement with lights, sound effects and a removable drone spoiler for thrilling rescue missions. Kids can press the lightbar to activate features and launch projectiles to clear obstacles, making every play session feel like a real rescue. Plus, with space for Chase and another pup, teamwork takes center stage.
Another fun idea for the Easter basket is the PAW Patrol Search & Rescue: Lift n’ Repair Playset, where kids can help Ryder fix up vehicles before racing back into action. With a working scissor lift, claw arm and launch ramp, this set encourages imaginative storytelling and interactive play. The included Ryder figure, with movable head and limbs, brings even more life to every rescue mission. We enjoyed hearing our kids replaying their favorite PAW Patrol scenes with the set. We might have heard one of Ryder’s favorite sayings, “Whenever you’re in trouble, just yelp for help!”
Rawr-ing Good Easter Egg Surprise with Primal Hatch
Who says Easter eggs are just for bunnies? For kids who love surprises and hands-on discovery, the Primal Hatch Hybrid Hatchers feature a dinosaur egg where kids use a scanner and water-injection process to decode and hatch their very own hybrid dinosaur.
Our kids enjoyed watching as the egg cracks open! Each hatch reveals a different combination, making it exciting to collect and build a full hybrid dino collection.
April Showers Bring BLOOM Bash Flowers
For a magical, spring-inspired activity, the Hatchimals Bloom Bash Multipack is another great option for the Easter basket. Shower the Bloom Bash flowers with love by watering the terrarium. Our girls enjoyed watching the flowers pop and bloom to reveal adorable characters like a mer-unicorn, bunny and puppy.
With over 15 accessories and a transformable dancefloor, it’s perfect for imaginative storytelling and celebration play.
No Bunny’s Cuter than Philbin
Easter is also about slowing down and enjoying those cozy moments, and the GUND Easter Moment Philbin Bunny is the perfect companion. Dressed in a soft bunny costume with floppy ears and a removable hood, this plush is both adorable and versatile for playtime or bedtime.
Made with GUND’S signature ultra-soft materials and machine washable for easy care, it’s a thoughtful addition to any Easter basket. Its timeless design and comforting feel make it a keepsake kids will love all season. This is also a great gift idea if you have an adult who enjoys precious GUND keepsakes.
Melissa & Doug Sticker Wow
Our kids enjoy Melissa & Doug’s Sticker Wow, it’s a whole new way to play with stickers. Each book comes with 300 stickers and a stamper to add layers of fun. We love packing a few of these in our activity back pack or the pocket of the car seat so that the kids have a fun surprise for the trip. They are easy for little hands with a chunky stamper design makes stamping simple, independent, and confidence‑boosting, while providing satisfying fidget-friendly play to keep them engaged.
Activities support counting, matching, search‑and‑find, number sense, and focus — all while kids enjoy stamping. Plus the easy‑remove stickers make it a clean, portable option for on-the-go play, travel, restaurants, and quiet time. Melissa & Doug’s Sticker Wow inspires purposeful creative play that’s mess-free and fun at home or on the go.
Fuel the Fun: Healthy Snacks for Easter & Spring Break
Between Easter egg hunts and outdoor adventures, having the right snacks on hand can make all the difference this spring. Melissa’s Produce makes it easy to keep families fueled with fresh fruit, easy snacks and ingredients perfect for quick smoothies or fruit salads.
Some of our favorite seasonal picks right now include Ojai Pixie Tangerines, Harry’s Berries strawberries, Charentais melons, dragon fruit, tree-ripened mango and Muscato grapes. These colorful fruits make a refreshing snack on their own or can be combined for a vibrant fruit salad.
If you’re having guests over for Easter, we love putting fresh seasonal fruit out to snack on. You can get creative and use the fruit to create an Easter bunny or Easter egg themed fruit charcuterie board. Swap the chocolate Easter eggs for some of Melissa’s chocolate covered almonds! We also love that Melissa’s has lots of great recipe ideas too if we need some inspiration. Smoothies are another fun way to use fresh fruit during spring break.
Check out Melissa’s beverage recipes for inspiration, and don’t forget their EZ Open Coconuts, which are a refreshing and hydrating treat after a day of outdoor fun. For something quick and portable, Melissa’s snack options like Crepe Snax, Clean Snax, Coco Snax and Organic Snax are perfect for tossing into a backpack before heading out for the day.
We were gifted items from Primal Hatch, Paw Patrol, Gund, Melissa & Doug, Melissa’s Produce and Hatchimals. All of our thoughts and ideas are our own. We use commissionable links.
