1. First you want to purchase a nice colorful basket. You can find some affordable baskets at your local hobby shop or walmart.

2. Second, find some goodies to put inside your basket. A cute plush rabbit is always cute. You can also purchase some inexpensive toys to add to your basket. Before you insert your items make sure to stuff your basket with some tissue paper at the bottom. Then add some colorful easter grass on top of the tissue paper. As you insert your items you may need to add tape to keep everything together.

3. After you place your items you then want to cover your basket with some cellophane paper. Wrapping the paper around may be a little tricky, but you want to tape it in the back so it doesn't show in the front. After wrapping and taping, tape a cute bow on the top.

4. Be as creative as you'd like..Some other great ideas would be putting some cookies or baked goods. Easter baskets are fun and can be very affordable. On Easter Sunday you can always leave the basket at your front door to be found by your little you. He will be so excited to see what the Easter Bunny brought him or her!
