I usually shop the dollar store too, but I try to find a theme. Something my girls are really into. I have two daughters 4 and 6. Think of their interests and go for it. If they like animals, think plastic animals, books, coloring books, puzzles all with animals on them. My 4 year old was really into dinosaurs one year so she got a dinosaur themed basket. My 6 year old loves barbies, last year I filled her basket with inexpensive barbie-like dolls from Big Lots and inexpesive clothes, plus books. They love books. Kids just love playing with new toys so whatever you choose will be fine. Bubbles are great for everyone so think lots and lots of bubbles. One year I just bought the inexpensive baskets from Walmart and added a few items to them. Walgreens has great deals on toys too. Just don't go overboard. I've done that too. Good luck.

My mother-in-law always has the kids make 'Easter nests' the day before Easter. They go outside and pick up moss, leaves, pretty flowers, grass, etc. and then pile all their materials into a nest of sorts. When they wake up in the morning, their nests are full! It's fun and FREE!

Go online and print some coloring pages and puzzles then put in those inexpensive binders w/holes. Try this site: http://www.dltk-holidays.com/easter/index.html. Yes....for sure shop the 99c store for crayons, markers, basket, etc..... I use food coloring to make tie dye easter eggs. It much easier and less expensive than those kits. Bake some cookies and wrap in the cellophane or zip locks to include in basket. ( Or those Little Debbie snack cake/brownies. Also try http://www.orientaltrading.com/

I make baskets for my 3 boys every Easter. I began buying @ the 99 cent store. Buy what looks good from there. You'll be surprised at what you can find there. The celluphane to enclose the basket, grass, plastic eggs, bubbles, nik naks (balls for boys, barbies for girls, etc), the list goes on. At Walmart I find the plastic baskets for $1. Or you can invest in the wick baskets & reuse them as long as possible, year after year. Then I buy one good toy or whatever it is they're into at the time & ta-da!!!!!!!!! And don't forget the candy!!! Good Luck!!!
