Non-Candy Easter Basket Goodies!

Easter is just around the corner!  In fact, my 3.5 year-old is super excited about Easter.  He has a couple of Easter parties next week and is very much looking forward to egg hunts and of course the "treats" AKA sugary, chocolatey, marshmallowy candies.  Don't get me wrong, I love those ooey gooey, yummy, delectable treats, but sometimes the holidays bring on a massive sugar overload.  This Easter, rather then overload little ones with candy, how about fill their Easter baskets with some goodies that are more natural, eco-friendly and fun!  Here are a few of my favorite Easter goodies for little ones:

 BabyLegs Legwarmers and Socks
With all sorts of adorable prints and beautiful colors, you're sure to find the perfect pair of BabyLegs legwarmers or socks for your little one!  BabyLegs will help protect your little one's knees and legs while crawling around, protect your little ones from the elements (perfect for layering during the cold winter months) plus BabyLegs help make diaper changing and potty training much easier.  BabyLegs are super soft and super stretchy plus they will fit most babies from newborn up to age two.  They're adorable and a must-have for your little one's Easter basket!  Shop right now at www.babylegs.com and use coupon code SPRING15 at check-out for 15% off your order!


Sweet Knee Skin Care
Everyone likes to smell sweet and Sweet Knee Skin Care will definitely leave your little one smelling sweet and clean.  From their Oatmeal Cookie Bath, to the Hulababy Car and Bun Glaze (my personal favorite), Sweet Knee's products will help keep your little one's skin clean, soft and moisturized.  Toxin free and with calendula, marshmallow, plantain and chamomile, you can feel confident about what you're putting on your little one's skin!  Visit www.sweetkee.com for more sweet products!


Squooshi Reusable Food Pouches
My little ones love apple sauce pouches and loved baby food pouches when they were younger.  I loved them, too.  However, the environmental impact (over 2 billion single use pouches end up in landfills every year) and the expensive cost for individual pouches quickly made me change my tune.  That is, until I came across Squooshi reusable and refillable food pouches!  Simple and convenient for baby food, pureed food, and smoothies, Squooshi pouches are resealable and can go directly from filling to freezer to your bag.  Visit www.squooshi.com to order your own super adorable reusable food pouches!


Piggy Paint Non-Toxic Nail Polish
Non-toxic, odorless and kid-friendly, Piggy Paint is perfect for little fingers and little piggies.  The Little Chick Easter gift set comes in a light color palette making it great for Easter!  Piggy Paint is free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, biphenyl A, ethyl acetate and acetone.  It's also made in the USA!  Enjoy fun, colorful polish without the harsh chemicals and nasty odors.  Piggy Paint is also cruelty-free and is safe to use during pregnancy.  Visit www.piggypaint.com for all of the color selections and to find a retailer near you!


For something delicious in your little one's Easter Basket, think about adding some yummy Plum Organic Teensy Fruit Snacks.  Teensy Fruits is a line of soft, fruit snacks made with yummy real fruit and none of the yucky, artificial stuff.   They are sized perfectly for little mouths to chew, these soft bites offer a full serving of fruit, made simple for your teensy tot.  Teensy Fruit Snacks contain NO high fructose corn syrup, trans-fats or artificial ingredients.  They are a convenient on the go snack for little hands.  Click HERE to find a retailer near you!



Green Toys Tug Boat
New bath toys are always a fun treat.  Bath toys will also make a great Easter Basket goodie for your little ones.  Made in the USA from 100% recycled plastic milk containers that save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the Green Toys Tug Boat is both good for the earth, and – most importantly – safe for the busy little folks who play there. No BPA, PVC, phthalates or external coatings. Packaged using only recycled and recyclable materials and printed with soy inks.  Visit www.cottonbabies.com to order your favorite little pirate or captain this adorable tug boat!


Born Free Twist 'N Pop Straw Cup
   
I love Born Free products and one of my favorites from Born Free is their Twist 'N Pop Straw Cup.  Born Free's 14-ounce Twist 'N Pop Straw Cups are perfect for active toddlers, like my 2.5 year-old and 3.5 year-old boys!  The soft, silicone straw prevents spills and helps protect your little one's  mouth. The twisting closure keeps the straw clean. Contoured shape is easy for little hands to hold. Dishwasher safe and BPA free.  Born Free products are available at select retailers such as Target, Babies 'R Us and Buy Buy Baby.  Or you can visit www.newbornfree.com to order or locate a store near you!



Hope the above goodies give you some ideas for alternative Easter Basket treats!
So, what will you putting in your little one's Easter Basket this year?
