Easter ideas for year old

Lot of mom's wonder at easter time what to get there little ones on there 1st or 2nd Easter. This is what I did. Plus some other ideas. 

-puzzles-

No matter how young the kid is they will grow to play and learn with puzzles. It's good to do wood so not have to worry about choking. 

-books-

Books are always great for kids of every age. Even if it's just something for them to feel or to look at pictures. Around holidays the stores always have books around to help kids learn about the holiday or just have a story for that time of year.

-basket-

To me baskets are a tradition. If it's just the first I would do something a little cheeper. My first kid I did one that would fit everything inside. This kid I just did a one small enough to hold 12 small plastic eggs. And he loved the basket.

-plastic eggs-

The eggs don't really work if they are only a few months old. But for someone close or over a year old to me is a must. Besides just being tradition they work for learning colors, making a game to find them, working with hand coronation, and just something fun. I did plastic cars instead of eggs because they work the same and it brought more fun after easter.

-stuffed animal-

Who doesn't love a stuff animal? As long as you remove the tag it is safe around young babies for the most part. If they are really young just get one that has the year on it or one that says first easter. It's great to look back on. Also great for pictures.

-chalk-

Okay I'm going to admit this is the first time I did this one. I figure it's getting warmer and if old enough it's a good way to start coloring. 

-clothes-

All kids need clothes and having easter clothes is just nice. Yes I went with nice. It's also useful. You can do anything from full outfits to just parts. Like a hat. It also works with any age.

-odds and ends-

This is stuff like washcloth, plates, cups, and utensils. Stuff that is useful but basically filler items seeing as to young for sweets. 

- memorials-

Like the wooden egg to put a first easter foot print, stuff to do a wall foot print, first easter picure frame. Ect.

First easter craft

This is something I did for my son's first easter about a year ago. It's not expensive and works as cute decor.

Materials
- wooden egg little bigger then baby foot
- water paint
- permanent marker

Instructions
- paint the egg and let it dry
- once dry paint the baby foot and press it on the egg
- carefully remove the foot
- repeat with other foot on other side if want
- write first easter and the year ect.
- optional take pictures with baby next to the egg

Babies first ornament

So I wanted to find something for my son's first christmas. I wanted something that wasn't as expensive as the ornaments that you can get customized. But something just as special. So I started trying to find something I can make. I thought about the salt dough ones. But it wasn't sitting right with me. So I kept looking. I came across this idea on pintrest then it popped up again on facebook. Well I liked it. Basically what it is is when you first get a baby. You get stuff like hat from the hospital, first pacifier, what they used to measure the hight the first time. Then buy a clear ornament. It's a little fun trying to put everything inside. But it's possible. I even wrote my son's name on it just so when it comes to having other kids I know that one is his. Basically here's the recipe for it.

1. Pick out a few items that you got that may not quite fit in a baby book.
2. Get a clear ornament that's decent size.
3. Have fun putting things in it and going down memory lane.
4. (Optional) Write the kid name on it.
