Even though my kids might like seeing their Easter baskets filled with lots of candy, after a couple of days they tire of it, and the candy ends up sitting around for weeks (or longer) until I throw it away. Instead of giving them things they won’t eat (and don’t need), I love it when the baskets are full of fun things they can use on vacation and when we go camping. These baskets are easily customizable based on your child’s age, too.

1. Activity Books
   Whether you’re looking for something to keep the kids busy on long car rides or on rainy days while camping, there are a ton of activity books to choose from. Here are 6 of our favorites:
   • The Ultimate Travel Journal For Kids
   • Perfectly Logical!: Challenging Fun Brain Teasers and Logic Puzzles for Smart Kids
   • I Am Confident, Brave & Beautiful: A Coloring Book for Girls
   • Try Not to Laugh Challenge, Easter Joke Book for Kids
   • Paint by Sticker: Dogs
   • What I Want to be when I Grow Up Coloring Book
2. Microfiber Beach Towel for ultra-absorbancy on those days when it seems like the kids are in the pool, out of the pool, in the lake, out of the lake, in the stream, out of the stream… you get the idea.
3. Exercise items
   If you have kids who are active in sports (or just plain active) these items make great gifts!
   • Resistance Loop Exercise Bands
   • Adjustable Jump Rope
   • Water Bottle
4. Games
   Great to play in the camper or at the picnic table, the games we recommend don’t have a lot of small pieces that could easily get lost and also don’t take up a lot of space. As campers know well, storage space is a commodity!
   • Sling Puck Game & Gobang & Aeroplane Chess 3 in 1 Set
   • Find and Seek Scavenger Hunt Card Game
   • Extreme Egg Toss
5. Water Fun
   • Stack & Pour Buckets
   • Bunch O Balloons
   • Fortnite Super Soaker
6. Rechargable Camping Lantern – this is useful for reading at night before going to sleep, playing cards outside at the picnic table at night and so much more!
7. Outdoor Toys
   • Walkie-Talkies
   • Glow-in-the-Dark Ring Toss
   • Critter Cage
   • Binoculars
   • Giant Bubble Wand Kit
   • Sidewalk Chalk
8. Kids Canteen – How many times do you get stuck carrying their cup or water bottle? A canteen can be so helpful because kids can wear them over their shoulders.
9. Marshmallow Roasting Sticks – because camping isn’t complete until you have s’mores!
10. Pressed Penny Souvenir Book – Pressed pennies are my favorite souvenirs because I can tell my kids “yes” almost every time they ask since they are usually only $0.51-$1.01 each.
