TIP: Get a nice reusable basket and can then use it to store various items later. If you are looking for some candy swaps, here are a few that I recommend:

Chalk
Stamps
Stickers
Build your wooden animal collection
Build your maileg collection
Add pajamas and/or bathing suits or whatever clothing items you need
Sun hat/snow hat: Sunday Afternoons kids' hats (discount code DRORGANICMOMMY)
Sunglasses: Izipizi sunglasses
Crayons and paint
Activity books
Puzzles
Kites
Chapstick - use code DRORGANICMOMMY
Healthier treat options such as; Skout bars (discount code DRORGANICMOMMY) or organic fruit leathers ( Solely )
If you want to add candy, I recommend a dye-free candy: (i.e. Yum Earth, Unreal, or Lake Champlain chocolates). I grabbed the Sour Littles and Organic DuoPops—both made with cleaner ingredients, free from artificial dyes, and good for little ones with food sensitivities.
Lake Champlain Organic Chocolate Easter Bunny, a delicious, non-GMO, and fair-trade treat made with high-quality organic ingredients. It’s the perfect better-for-you chocolate bunny to add a classic touch to any Easter basket—without the artificial additives!

I love this DIY Cookie Decorating Kit from Yvonne’s Vegan Kitchen. It’s such a fun and festive way to celebrate the season without compromising on clean ingredients. This kit includes delicious, vegan, and gluten-free sugar cookies along with naturally colored icing! It’s good to order this one early before they sell out.
