I love putting together kids Easter baskets, but try to only fill them with things we’d be purchasing anyway and that are addressing upcoming summer needs. It’s always a great chance to find a few useful items I know will get put to good use. I especially love finding some excellent travel-themed Easter basket ideas for spring & summer adventures and that will encourage us to focus on wonderful experiences together near and far.
Here are some terrific travel Easter basket ideas for kids!
We really love our summer hiking sandals and get tons and tons of wear out of them. My kids wear them all summer long for hiking, of course, but also for water play, walking around, and even with socks when chilly. It’s a great kids Easter basket item!
One year for Easter we got this rain cover for two of our older kids to use with their upgraded/bigger hiking backpack.
This rain coverall has been perfect for our toddler when we’re traveling to a place with a good bit of rain!
We love this water bottle for kids (also available at Target)! We also love the larger version for our older kids. We also love this water bottle, as well as this one. Finally, this one is especially great because it’s lighter weight and has a covered straw for younger kids who might drop the bottles.
If you’re doing a fair bit of hiking or adventure travel and want hands-free hydration, we absolutely love these hydration packs – especially for the littler kids who aren’t carrying much more than a snack and water.
Headlamp – always useful & this 2-pack is under $10
I always like to include something for summer water play and fun – these always get used a ton so it’s one of my favorite useful ideas for kids Easter baskets.
This is one of my favorite useful Easter basket items! We really like both these fabric strap goggles and these snap goggles. Both are helpful for not pulling hair when removing them, which my kids hate.
We love these dive gems – so fun if you have some pool time planned.
We’ve put this 4 pack of collapsible beach buckets to good use – we split it up between kids! The bucket itself could even be used in place of a basket.
Since Flip Flops need to be replaced more regularly, we love getting them on sale from Old Navy!
Sunglasses are a must for all the kids.
A small portable or card game is always welcomed when traveling – they’re perfect for long rides, waiting in airports, sitting at restaurants, and more. Here are a few inexpensive favorites:

Soft headphones that stay on younger kiddos – these will be great for travel and to use with a Yoto player, including on road trips.
