Here are some of our favorites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spring Activity Baskets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fill a basket with inexpensive, fun toys to encourage the kids to get outside in the fresh air. Possible toys to include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Balls<\/li>\n<li>Balsa wood airplanes<\/li>\n<li>Bubble solution and blowing wands.<\/li>\n<li>Colored chalk<\/li>\n<li>Frisbees<\/li>\n<li>Jump ropes<\/li>\n<li>Kites<\/li>\n<li>Water pistols<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Gardening Baskets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your child enjoys helping in the garden, set aside a small garden bed or some pots for his or her own use, and create a gardening basket filled with<br \/>\neverything your little green thumb needs. Ideas include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flower and vegetable seeds<\/li>\n<li>Flowerpots (a big pot can replace the basket)<\/li>\n<li>Gardening gloves<\/li>\n<li>Plastic trowels, spades, and hand rakes<\/li>\n<li>Sun hat<\/li>\n<li>Watering can<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Craft Baskets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your child has an artistic bent, consider a craft basket. A quick visit to a craft store and dollar store will give you plenty of ideas for basket<br \/>\ncontents. The list of options here is huge, but you might want to consider the following, if they&#8217;re age appropriate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Beading kits<\/li>\n<li>Construction paper<\/li>\n<li>Crayons<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.iseeme.com\/coloring-books.html\">Customized coloring books<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Felt shapes<\/li>\n<li>Glitter glue<\/li>\n<li>Modeling clay<\/li>\n<li>Paint sets<\/li>\n<li>Pipe cleaners<\/li>\n<li>Sketching pads<\/li>\n<li>Stickers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Beach Baskets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Spring means summer vacation&#8217;s fast approaching. Get ahead of the game with a summertime beach basket. Ideas include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bathing suit<\/li>\n<li>Beach ball<\/li>\n<li>Beach towel<\/li>\n<li>Bucket and sand toys<\/li>\n<li>Flip flops<\/li>\n<li>Inflatable toys<\/li>\n<li>Sunglasses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Book Baskets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Encourage your little one&#8217;s love of reading with a book basket. In addition to books you can add bookmarks, stickers, and coloring books. A customized <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iseeme.com\/easter-personalized-childrens-gifts.html\">Easter book<\/a> makes a great centerpiece for this basket, which lends itself to<br \/>\nadding a cuddly toy or blanket for snuggling with during story time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Puzzle and Game Baskets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Spring doesn&#8217;t always mean blue sky. Sometimes it means cold rain and wind. If this is the kind of weather you can expect in your region, or if your child<br \/>\nloves family game night, a puzzle and game basket is an ideal choice. Age appropriate jigsaw puzzles, board games, and coloring books all have a place in<br \/>\nthis basket.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make-Believe Baskets<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kids love to dress up and pretend, and this basket&#8217;s designed from imaginative play. Whether your little one wants to be a knight, a ballerina, a<br \/>\nfirefighter, a pirate, or a princess, a basket of dress-up clothes and props provides hours of play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can tell Easter&#8217;s coming when the chocolate eggs start showing up in stores, usually accompanied by prepackaged Easter baskets filled with-not to put too fine a point on it-cheap, easily breakable plastic junk.
