How to Create 3 Different #DisneyEaster Baskets

Happy Spring everyone! Like I mentioned last night, I am so ecstatic that I’ve been on the ball this year and am all done shopping for Easter baskets this year!

I’ve honestly never been the kind of parent to buy a pre-made Easter basket – to me they just aren’t as personal. I want my children to be surprised at all of the fun things in their Easter baskets and know that I put a lot of love and thought into creating it for them.

Noah’s and Emma’s baskets were easy – I created a Spiderman themed basket for him, and a FROZEN one for her.

Anika on the other hand was a little bit harder. She is still 11, so she’s at that ‘I want to be a big girl’ one minute stage, then playing make-believe with Emma and Noah the next.

Obviously I don’t want her to grow up any faster than she already is, so I decided to do a basket with a character I know she likes: The Little Mermaid.

 

At Walmart, I found everything I needed, and I began gathering things for the kids, – one theme at a time.

They had Spiderman baskets there too and I quickly realized that they would perfect because they had quite a bit of room for me to fill them. I chose red as Noah’s color theme, as I thought it would be fun to not only pick character themes but color themes as well.

Spiderman action figures, body wash, a watch, and more were placed alongside chocolates and candies.

 
 

Emma’s basket is filled with FROZEN fun. There is a FROZEN wand, lip gloss, tattoos, and more and then of course color-coordinated candies for her too. I bought light blue Easter egg grass to match all of the goodies inside.

 

Anika’s I ended up altering it a little bit more – I knew I wanted a green basket with purple accents (like Ariel), so I bought the first wicker basket I found at Walmart and had to modify it a bit. There was a wooden figure glue to the front that I carefully removed, and then wrapped the top of the basket with purple ribbon, attaching it with glue dots. I then covered the area that I had the wooden animal removed from with purple bows.

I bought her an Ariel doll because she still likes playing dolls sometimes – only because her sister ‘begs’ her to, you know.  😉

I tried to keep all of her basket with green goodies, even down to the ChapStick I bought for her.

 
 
 

All of the fun Disney products can be found in the Toy and Easter sections at Walmart.

 
I’m so excited to have these done! Now if I can find a good spot to hide them until Easter Sunday where they won’t find them!

 

Have you made any Easter baskets yet this year?

They turned out very nice, any little one would be so excited to get one of these.
Great Job, and you just may have inspired me to get out there and get mine done.
Thanks :)

I like the idea of doing a themed basket.

These are so great! What a great idea to do themed baskets. My kids are all still young enough, that is should be easy and inexpensive to do this as well. Thanks for the tips!

I do not have our Easter baskets made yet. This will be the first Easter we've celebrated since our son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, so we have to be careful about which candies we buy for him. These things from Disney are perfect for a fun basket that doesn't REQUIRE candy! #client
