Hi friends, welcome. Today we are
0:02
getting into an Easter basket haul. I'm
0:03
going to be sharing what I got my two
0:05
littles for Easter this year. I have a
0:07
one-year-old, she's almost two, and then
0:09
I also have a six-year-old who is almost
0:12
seven. We are a very minimal family. And
0:15
so the things that I purchase for them,
0:17
whether it be for holidays or just in
0:19
general, I try to be very intentional.
0:22
But I think that you guys are going to
0:23
really love the things that I have in
0:25
their baskets. I have some faithfilled
0:27
really fun and really cute things. So,
0:29
let's just go ahead and dive right into
0:31
it and then I'll have everything linked
0:33
down below in case you are interested in
0:35
grabbing any of these things. I know how
0:37
difficult it can be when you're trying
0:39
to figure out what to put inside of
0:41
those baskets. It's like you have all of
0:43
these things that you want to get. You
0:44
also want to be very like costefficient.
0:46
You don't want to go too crazy and
0:48
things can add up very quickly. So,
0:49
these things are also very affordable,
0:52
but they're still really really good.
0:54
Now, for the actual baskets themselves,
0:58
we were out at the store looking for
1:00
like spring decor, and my son actually
1:03
picked these up a few weeks ago because
1:06
he said that these were the baskets that
1:07
he wanted. So, he picked up this little
1:10
Peep bunny basket for himself and he
1:13
picked up this one for his sister. I'm
1:15
pretty sure like their things are not
1:17
actually going to fit in here. He even
1:18
grabbed like these really cute little
1:20
bunny ears. We actually got these from
1:22
Dollar Tree for just like a dollar and I
1:24
think 50 cents a piece. And so I'll
1:26
probably let the kids use these for
1:29
their Easter egg hunt. I often just
1:32
repurpose the baskets that I've used in
1:34
previous years or I'll just use
1:36
something that we kind of have around
1:38
the house already like these ones here.
1:40
Let's just go ahead and unpack what's
1:43
actually inside of these. And I am going
1:46
to start with the books. So, the book
1:50
that I got my son who is seven is this
1:52
one here. It's a sing along book with 10
1:55
Bible songs. You can press the buttons.
1:58
I'm not going to press it because the
1:59
kids are actually, you know, right
2:00
outside the door like any other room. I
2:02
don't want them to hear it. It has I've
2:04
got peace like a river. Michael roll the
2:06
boat ashore. When the saints go marching
2:09
in, father Abraham, Johnny Apple Seed
2:13
blessing, Jesus loves the little
2:15
children. Zakus was a wee little man.
2:18
God made me, Jesus loves me, and this
2:21
little light of mine. So, a couple of
2:22
these he already know because last year
2:26
I got him this one, which is actually
2:28
going in his little sister's basket. So,
2:30
this one is going in my almost
2:32
2-year-old basket. And so, this one only
2:33
has six songs. And I actually bought
2:35
this one for my son. And my daughter
2:37
loved it so much that she tore it up.
2:41
And so, I didn't want to get her like
2:43
another one and then not get my son one.
2:45
He loved his songs, but he had learned
2:47
all of the songs in this one. This one
2:49
has more songs that he hasn't learned
2:51
yet. So, I wanted to get that one for
2:53
him. And then I got this one for her. It
2:55
has Jesus loves me in here. He's got the
2:59
whole world in his hands. This little
3:01
light of mine.
3:03
I've got the joy and Jesus loves the
3:05
little children. So, I know for sure
3:07
she's going to love it. Especially
3:08
because the one that we originally had,
3:10
it's back in Michigan. And we're
3:13
actually I think there's a strong
3:15
possibility that we will be in Michigan
3:17
during Easter. But either way, it'll be
3:18
nice to have one of these in both homes
3:21
and she will have one that she didn't
3:23
tear up as well. Another thing that I
3:25
got the kids are bubbles because they
3:28
have their bubble wands. They have like
3:30
so many bubble wands at this point.
3:32
Mostly my son. We often go to the Disney
3:34
parks. We go to the Universal parks,
3:36
SeaWorld, all of that. And so they have
3:39
different bubble wands and they always
3:40
need more bubble solution for the bubble
3:43
wands. So I got this one here which is
3:46
32 oz for the kiddos's bubble wands. The
3:48
containers are kind of small so this
3:50
will give them plenty of refills and
3:52
then we can always buy another one. But
3:53
he's getting this one for his bubble
3:54
wand. I got this one for my daughter. He
3:56
has smaller hands and so the giant
3:59
bubble wands that they sell inside of
4:00
the theme parks are pretty large and
4:02
heavy and she's been seeing my son's
4:04
Mickey Mouse and she's been wanting it.
4:07
So, I'm pretty sure she'll love this
4:08
Minnie Mouse one. I think she has like a
4:09
Ariel one. And I think she has like a
4:12
Minion teddy bear one or something. But
4:15
again, they're really heavy. I wanted to
4:17
get her one that's a bit smaller. And I
4:19
think she'll love it. And this one came
4:21
from Walmart for like $12. And it also
4:23
comes with the refill solution, but you
4:25
guys can see like how small the actual
4:27
globe is for the bubbles go. So, yeah,
4:29
plenty of refills. So, I got both of
4:31
them books and both of them bubbles. I
4:34
also got them both prayer bears. You
4:36
press the button and then it says a
4:39
prayer. I have to pull this out. I don't
4:41
want to play it, but I'll link it below.
4:43
And it basically helped him to learn
4:45
another version of prayer. When he was
4:47
like really young, he started with,
4:49
"Thank you, God. Thank you, Jesus.
4:51
Amen." And that's when he just had
4:53
learned how to talk. He would just say,
4:55
"Thank you, God. Thank you, Jesus.
4:56
Amen." And now he actually just says
4:58
like, "Thank you, God, for" and he'll
5:00
just say, you know, whatever comes to
5:02
mind. He's helped me too. And just say
5:04
whatever comes to mind. And then in
5:06
homeschool, we've been learning the
5:08
Lord's Prayer. And then this one has
5:11
just like that old traditional one that
5:12
our parents taught to us when we were
5:14
kids. I think it's the now laying me
5:15
down to sleep. The wording might be a
5:17
little bit different. They're like
5:18
kneeling on their knees. It's really
5:20
cute. So, I got each of them one of
5:22
these for bedtime. I also really like to
5:26
keep things on hand that keeps them busy
5:28
for like quiet time or in case they're
5:32
like bored or even if we're like out and
5:34
traveling. So, I wanted to get this one
5:38
here. It has 72
5:41
memory tiles from Bluey. They love
5:43
Bluey. I think Bluey is really, really a
5:47
bit much and sometimes they just need to
5:50
calm down a little bit. Bluey is really
5:52
really cute, but they get a lot of
5:54
energy from it, right? It's like a high
5:55
sensory cartoon or television show, and
5:58
sometimes they need to calm down. So,
6:00
this Bluey memory card set is really,
6:02
really cute. Um, 72 tiles. You punch the
6:04
cards out. You don't have to use all 72.
6:06
Obviously, I think my son will love
6:08
this. He can play it by himself or we
6:10
can play it with him where we lay them
6:12
out. You know how memory goes. You lay
6:14
them out, flip them over, and try to
6:15
remember the one that you flipped over
6:17
before. get the matches and whoever has
6:19
the most matches at the end wins. I also
6:23
got him Jonah Goldfish. This is one of
6:27
his favorite Bible stories, Jonah and
6:29
Noel. So, he loves that story and I
6:32
thought that he would enjoy this
6:34
goldfish game. He's never played
6:36
goldfish before. Not like when I was a
6:38
kid. We knew how to play goldfish. He
6:40
doesn't know how to play it yet. So, I
6:41
got him these and then I can teach him
6:43
how to play it and we can just play that
6:46
together. And then he also has two of
6:49
these. Like they were like $2.50 a
6:51
piece. So, this is World of Eric Carl 48
6:54
piece puzzle. And then this is just a
6:55
dinosaur puzzle. That's what the puzzles
6:59
actually look like. So again, something
7:01
to keep him busy when he, you know, was
7:04
not doing school, when we're not out and
7:06
about, when I want him to take a break
7:08
from like television or playing video
7:10
games or something, then he can sit
7:12
down, he can do these puzzles, we can do
7:13
them together as a family. But any type
7:16
of like activity things that I feel like
7:18
will keep him busy, but also stimulate
7:20
his mind, you know, those are great
7:22
things to put in the basket. So, memory
7:24
game, goldfish, puzzles, and then he
7:28
also has a activity book that he can
7:30
take along with him if we ever like
7:32
visit a friend or a family member or he
7:34
could also use this at home, but he can
7:36
take this one as well if I need him to
7:38
sit still to like restaurants and
7:40
everything. And this is just a Bible
7:42
story activity book. I like to keep
7:44
Christian and faithfilled things inside
7:45
of their Easter baskets because I don't
7:47
want them to forget what Easter is
7:49
actually about. So, this one just has
7:51
lots of activities in here. He likes
7:54
doing these types of things. So it has
7:56
Bible verses in here, coloring pages as
7:59
well. This one is telling you like on
8:01
the first day God created, on the second
8:03
day he created, on the third day. So
8:05
that's really cool. It helps him to
8:06
remember and then draw the pictures of
8:07
God of what he created. This one is like
8:10
spot the difference. It has animal
8:12
antics. It has crossword puzzles, word
8:16
searches, mazes, lots of different
8:20
activities in here. So, he's going to
8:22
really enjoy that one, I'm pretty sure.
8:24
And this is one of his favorite video
8:26
games he's been playing. He likes Mario,
8:29
Pikmin, and Ted, Pokemon. These are just
8:31
some of his favorites. His birthday is
8:32
like a week after Easter. I didn't want
8:34
to go too crazy. I'm sure I'm going to
8:36
get him something like Pokemon related
8:37
for his birthday. So, for Easter toy
8:39
that I got him this Pikmin set here, it
8:42
basically just has all of the characters
8:45
from the game in there. This is
8:47
something he's going to absolutely love
8:49
because it's been his thing. these days.
8:51
And my daughter, I got her this activity
8:53
set. Eggshaped crayons, safe, non-toxic,
8:57
and it also comes with a coloring book.
8:59
She loves to color. Have like little
9:02
bunnies on them. And yeah, they're easy
9:04
for little hands and they're washable.
9:07
Has a adorable little coloring book.
9:09
Small enough to take along if we visit
9:11
family or anything like that. It has 12
9:13
colors in here. And then she also has
9:17
plenty of bows because she is such such
9:22
a princess. These ones are really really
9:24
tiny. My daughter has really um short
9:27
hair. I'm trying to open this. Guys,
9:29
look how little this bow is. Okay, look
9:32
at that. It's so tiny and it's perfect
9:35
for her tiny little ponytail. So, she's
9:37
got a whole box of these little bows
9:39
here that she'll have for her hair. But
9:42
then I also got her this set. This one
9:44
is red, pink, and a little peach color.
9:48
Little hair bows as well. These ones as
9:51
well that are 100% cotton material,
9:56
different colors. They're like gauze
9:57
material kind of, but thought this was
9:59
really cute, the 100% cotton ones
10:02
because normally they're like nylon or
10:04
something. But yeah, these ones are
10:06
really cute. And in terms of toys, we
10:08
built her a new Montaser shelf like two
10:11
weeks ago. So, she has new toys that we
10:14
recently bought her and I didn't really
10:16
want to buy anything unnecessary. I
10:18
think right now she pretty much has
10:19
everything that she needs in terms of
10:21
toys and to be honest, she hasn't played
10:24
with them a ton. She'll play with them a
10:26
little bit and when we play with her
10:28
with them, but other than that, she's
10:30
still at that age where she's not
10:32
completely fully interested in toys. was
10:34
in back in Michigan. She has plenty that
10:36
we had left there as well as some from
10:40
my son when he was younger. So, I didn't
10:43
want to get her anything, especially
10:44
because like again, she's not completely
10:46
interested in it. And then she has her
10:48
mastory shelf full of, you know,
10:50
developmental toys that we just filled
10:52
up a couple weeks ago. So, that's what I
10:54
got the kiddos for Easter this year. The
10:57
only other thing that I want to add to
10:58
that is their Easter egg decorating kit.
11:00
I get every single year. um a tablecloth
11:04
that you can color. It's like Easter
11:06
themed. You lay it out on a whole table
11:07
and color the whole entire tablecloth,
11:10
which is cute. So that then when you are
11:12
dying your Easter eggs, you're not
11:13
making a mess on the table. It's like an
11:15
activity, but it's also good for, you
11:18
know, not making a mess and protecting
11:19
your table. And then any type of like
11:23
snacks that I want to put in there as
11:25
well. So, probably just be like some
11:27
sort of like fruit snacks or potato
11:30
chips, animal crackers, something like
11:33
that. Maybe some juice or something. I
11:36
don't know. But it's not going to be
11:38
like a ton of chocolate or lollipops and
11:40
jelly beans and things like that. So,
11:43
yeah. Like I said, animal cracker, maybe
11:44
a juice, a bag of chips, and some fruit
11:47
snacks. I'm thinking it's going to be
11:49
what we do because we do like to have
11:50
snacks for them when we go places
11:52
because again we go to the parks quite
11:55
often and when we're out in the parks
11:57
they like to have snacks and things like
11:58
that to eat. Especially my daughter like
12:00
if my husband and my son are on a ride
12:02
and my daughter and I are kind of just
12:04
like hanging out and about. I don't
12:06
always want to purchase her a snack
12:08
because she's only a year old. But she
12:11
likes, you know, snacks sometimes when
12:13
we like sitting down watching a show
12:15
waiting for them or something. But the
12:16
things that they have at the park are
12:18
not things that she typically like
12:20
she'll eat it but it's not the
12:22
healthiest option for her and it's not
12:24
her favorite. So likes to have snacks
12:26
for them when we're out and about or
12:28
when we are traveling which we actually
12:31
are. Next week we are heading to
12:34
Michigan. That's what I got the kids for
12:36
Easter. Hope that you guys got some
12:38
ideas from this video and that you guys
12:40
enjoyed it. I'll see you guys in the
12:42
next
