Non-Candy Easter Basket Stuffers That Are Sweet Without The Sugar Crash

This ultra-plush bunny just begs to be cuddled. At 12″ tall, it sits on its own in true Jellycat fashion, so your kiddo can prop it on their bed when they’re not carrying it with them around the house. With its long ears and vintage vibe, it would go perfectly with a hardcover rendition of The Velveteen Rabbit, and lucky for you, we found the perfect edition below!

It’s all in the name: This soft and squishy bunny is designed to be snuggled. It features a relaxed, slightly under-stuffed body, plush fur, and sewn-on features that are safe for babies. All in all, it has the makings of becoming your LO’s new best friend!

The Easter bunny like you’ve never seen before — as a cool LEGO creation! This mini set comes with 67 pieces and is an awesome basket stuffer for STEM-loving kiddos ages 6 and up.

For your older kid (aged 10+), you can get this slightly more extensive LEGO set, which has 126 pieces. This robo-looking rabbit has movable ears and comes with a detachable carrot and bucket plus other accessories. Once the bunny figure is mastered, they can go on to re-arrange the blocks to create their own monster — uh — creature. They can also combine parts from other LEGO or Block Headz sets in true Frankenstein fashion.

Get this adorable playset for any kid who loves make-believe, and everyone can enjoy a full 5 minutes of screen-free play time. We kid, we kid (kind of), but this set is so sweet, they’ll certainly be smitten. The playground structure comes with Grace Hopscotch Rabbit, who’s moveable so she can be posed. And if she seems lonely, get an additional pack of Calico Critter friends — in fact, there’s a whole line of figures, furniture, vehicles, and playsets.

In this memory game, players roll the die, push down the corresponding color bunny, and hope that it hops — in which case, they can collect it. The first one to get all the same-colored bunnies wins!

Nothing says “Easter basket” like Peeps and bunnies, and this bunny Peep pillow offers the best of both worlds! This 6″ stuffie is a great size for little kids, plus it’s soft, plush, and huggable. It’s also officially lincensed, meaning you’ll get the real deal (minus the marshmallow).

For a bigger Peep bunny, grab Build A Bear’s Peeps Pink Bunny plushie — no mall trip required. This fuzzy friend measures 16″ tall and will look bright and cheery on your kiddo’s bed (when they’re not playing with it, of course).

You can never have enough stuffed Peeps options, amiright? This sunshine yellow Peeps plush is a good size (15″) and a great price at Kohl’s.

Ah, the classic Peeps chick. Kohl’s has cuddly-soft versions in both pink and yellow to fill your kid’s Easter basket with a sweet (get it?!) surprise.

For a cool little dude or dudette, Weefarers are an Easter basket must. They’re made with rubber frames and impact-resistant lenses, and if that’s not enough, they come with a 1-year replacement guarantee if they’re misplaced or lost. There’s even more to love: Each pair also comes with a rubber strap and a microfiber carrying pouch. Available in sizes o-1 and 2-3, you can get them in 5 colors, including pink, blue, and classic tortoiseshell. 

GUND has over a dozen plush play sets (including mermaids, princesses, a toolbox, a tackle box, and more!) that are the perfect non-candy treat for gifting your little. This vet set is a fun choice for animal lovers and comes with a puppy, kitty, thermometer, stethoscope, and doctor’s bag — so cute!

Can you ever go wrong with Mad Libs? (Correct answer: No.) With this silly multi-player game, the whole family can join in — you might even witness your kids laughing together and getting along … an Easter miracle!

Add this to the list of toys you wish you had as a kid! The toniebox is a speaker cube that plays music and stories when a magnetic tonie figure is placed on top of it. It’s designed for kiddos to use with ease; they can adjust the volume with the ears and the rewind and skip controls are activated by tilting or tapping the box. It’s rechargeable, so it can be toted anywhere. And the best part? It’ll provide tons of screen-free fun. That, plus, your kid won’t pull you from your Zoom call every time they want to hear their favorite story.This starter set includes 3 story tonies plus a creative tonie that’ll store your own recordings, which can be done via the mytonies app. While Amazon has plenty of tonies to collect, head to the tonies website for more selection, including Guess How Much I Love You and Peter Rabbit tonies (perfect for Easter!), as well as their newly-launched Sleepy Time tonies, which play white noise and soothing lullabies to help get little ones to sleep.

The perfect PJs for dino lovers! (Especially those with a sense of humor.) Get this set that features an Easter egg-stealing T-rex decked out in bunny ears (a clever disguise?) to get your kiddo into the holiday spirit and wake up in on Easter morning. They’re made of 100% cotton for comfort and breathability, and pro tip: although they should fit snug for fire safety, these run small so consider going a size or two up.

Introduce them to a classic. This hardcover book is beautifully illustrated, and although it’s a picture book, it’s lengthy — 33 pages long — so it’s a great gift for more experienced readers. Pair with a fuzzy rabbit stuffy of their own for a heartwarming keepsake gift.

Is there anything cuter than seeing kids scuffing in their fluffy slippers while rubbing their eyes? We think not. They’ll love wearing these warm and fuzzy bunny slippers on Easter morning (and long afterward); they come in little and big kids sizes and four muted colors. This set is available in little and big kids sizes, but if you want a pair too, there’s an identical set for adults.

Kids love anything they can pull out of a magical surprise exterior and these cute little babies are no different! Also, you have to give your kids something besides candy in their baskets so they don’t drive you nuts by 10am.

After they eat all that Easter candy, give your kids somewhere to channel that sugar energy! These basketballs are colorful and come in diferent sizes to fit different-aged kids.
