Driver’s Manual: How to Make Easter Baskets for Toddlers

Looking for a little inspiration on how to make Easter baskets? Check out these tips from the Easter Bunny! Choose some Easter basket stuffers that encourage creativity and engage their minds. In our im”çŸșapp Car Wash Splash Centerℱ Easter basket, we chose the following items:

When you’re ready to build your Easter basket, fill the two bottom trays and top tray with Easter grass or crinkle paper. Then, place the toys and sweets you picked out and arrange them around the im”çŸșapp Car Wash Splash Centerℱ.

Make a Right at Social-Emotional Development

Your child will absolutely love playing with their im”çŸșapp Car Wash Splash Centerℱ, and they’ll also gain tons of developmental skills when they play with this water table toy!

This water table toy has multiple stations for kids to take turns and practice social skills. One kid can drive, while the others take care of business, cleaning the windshield, filling the gas tank with water, washing the wheels, and more!

As your little ones take on different roles, they’ll be exercising even more social skills development. The kids will create roles, negotiate rules, and come together as a team to bring their role-playing games to life. They can each take turns with the different roles, so everyone gets a chance to step into a new character.

Next Stop: Cognitive Development

Your little driver will also gain tons of cognitive development skills when playing with water tables. As they pour water into the top double-sided tray, water will pour down the front windshield as well as the backside. On the back, the water will pour through a shifting water maze. Watching the water move in different ways will teach little ones about cause and effect.

Water play is also great for sensory exploration! As we mentioned earlier, they’ll get to see various ways in which the water moves throughout this water toy. Children will also feel the tactile sensation of the water. They can splash, feel the temperature, and feel the smooth trickle of the rain fall.

Children will hear various sounds through the im”çŸșapp Car Wash Splash Centerℱ, such as the rain-fall effect as it hits the windshield and the glugging of the water pouring into the gas tank. When they turn the wheel, they’ll also hear the squeak of the windshield wipers.

Final Stop: Fun Easter Basket Ideas

This Easter, give your little one an Easter basket they’ll never forget! Not only will they play with this water toy for years to come, but they’ll gain new skills as they move through various child development stages. Water toys are a great way to introduce and develop social skills, sensory exploration, cognitive development, and more.

Spring is in the air, and Easter is just around the corner! If you’re looking for Easter basket ideas for toddlers, we have just the thing for you: the im”çŸșapp Springtime Wheelbarrowℱ. The wide, open design is just like a regular basket; however, your little ones will use this alternative Easter basket for years to come—plus, it’s perfect for Easter egg hunts!

A Fresh Take on Easter Baskets for Kids

Switch things up this year with a fun and unique Easter basket, such as a kid’s wheelbarrow. For our im”çŸșapp Springtime Wheelbarrow Easter basket, we had fun with the garden theme and picked toys that encouraged role playing, pretend play, creativity, and cognitive development:

Just fill the toy wheelbarrow with some Easter grass or crinkle paper, then arrange the toys and special treats. Your little ones will be so excited when they see their baskets on Easter morning!

Kids Outdoor Play & Gardening

Let your little one help out in the garden this year with their very own toy wheelbarrow! Fill the basin with some flower seeds, a mini watering can, and shovel, then head to the garden!

Let them get a little dirty by helping to dig holes and plant the seeds or flowers—this is also a great way to engage in sensory exploration!

Check back every few days to see if the seeds have sprouted or if any new buds have bloomed. Ask your child to identify the colors of the petals, smell the different flowers, and ask them what they notice about the changes in the plants.

When the flowers are in full bloom, have your child pick some flowers and create a bouquet for their room or a loved one.

Playing with a kid’s wheelbarrow is a great way to get your little one outdoors and engaged in physical activity!

Watch Cognitive Development Bloom

Gardening with your little one is also a great way to nurture their cognitive growth. As they help you in the garden, they’re learning about different types of plants, vegetables, and fruits—it’s also a great way to teach them about colors! However, gardening isn’t the only way to develop cognitive skills with a toy wheelbarrow!

Pretend play is another great way to foster your child’s cognitive development. Role playing with their toy wheelbarrow helps children practice creative thinking and broaden their imaginations. They can use their wheelbarrow indoors and outdoors to create pretend gardens—they may even decide to plant a toy garden, fairy garden, or lollipop garden! Wherever their imaginations go, let their play wheelbarrows take them there!

Plant the Seeds for Social Development

Taking care of a garden is a great way to instill a sense of responsibility. Your little gardener will learn what it takes to care for something, nurture it, and watch how their hard work pays off when they see the flowers grow or when they take a bite of a strawberry that they planted themselves.

The large basin in the im”çŸșapp Springtime Wheelbarrow also makes for a great cleanup tool! Turn cleaning into a game by asking your little one to fill up their wheelbarrow and chauffeur the toys back to their designated homes.

Create a Toddler Easter Basket with a Toy Wheelbarrow

Plant the seeds for a magical Easter by using the im”çŸșapp Springtime Wheelbarrow as an Easter basket alternative. Your child will love playing with their toy wheelbarrow, and parents will love all the developmental skills they’ll gain from doing so!

Fill the wheelbarrow basin with Easter basket stuffers that help encourage their developmental skills and get their imaginations blooming. When they’re done opening their Easter basket, take the wheelbarrow outside for the Easter egg hunt! Your little one will have so much fun pushing it around and placing the Easter eggs inside.

Cognitive Development Speedway

Buckle up! It’s time to race into the developmental benefits that these im”çŸșapp ride-on cars will bring to your children.

When your little one settles in behind their steering wheel, their imaginations will take over. Their minds will create scenarios and build off new ideas with each turn you take during your cruises around town.

Being outdoors in their cars opens children up to sensory exploration. As they “drive” past homes, they’ll spot new decorations or new flowers blooming. They may hear leaves crunching under the tires or the sound of a bird singing in a tree. Your little drivers will also smell people cooking as you pass different homes, and they’ll feel a cool breeze or the warmth of the sun on their shoulders. Each drive will be a new experience!

You little one’s attention to detail and ability to memorize will benefit with each trip in their play cars! After a few joy rides, your little one will begin to memorize different parts of your walk. They may tell you where to turn to walk past their favorite house. They may even notice when a neighbor changes the color of their shutters. You’ll be surprised at home much information they retain during these rides!

Beep, Beep! Pretend Play & Social Development

Along with the cognitive benefits of creativity and imagination, role playing and pretend play are great ways to exercise social and emotional development. Kids can put into practice behaviors they see every day, which helps them to better understand social dynamics and situations.

Encourage learning through play by engaging in their role play. When your child turns the wheel, turn the car in the same direction, so they’ll feel like they’re really driving. Pick up the pace and pretend they’re a race car driver. Whatever games you play, your little one will get a kick out of pretending that they’re a real driver.

Pedal to the Metal: Master of Motor Skills

Turning the wheel and honking the horn is great fun, but it’s also great practice as well! Through these actions, your little ones are practicing their motor skills as well as hand-eye coordination. As they get older, they’ll even master buckling their seatbelts!

Build a Head-Turning Toddler Easter Basket

This Easter, create an Easter basket that your kids will never forget. Fill the im”çŸșapp Whisper Ride II or im”çŸșapp Whisper Ride Cruiser with some car-themed toys, books, candy, and more. Every time your little one climbs into their pretend car, they’ll remember the best Easter basket they ever got!

Just fill the water table with some colorful Easter grass or crinkle paper and arrange your toys and candy—this Easter basket will be a magical memory on so many levels!

Water Tables Help Build Cognitive Skills

Water tables are a great way to have fun while building important skills. As children splash in the water, they engage several senses at once, such as sight, sound, texture, and temperature. They also learn several STEM concepts as they watch the water pour through the top-tier rainfall maker, fill and spill the bucket, and work its way through the interchangeable maze pieces.

Fun Way to Develop Language and Social Skills

Your little one can build important social skills, such as taking turns and sharing, when they play with their siblings or friends. They can take turns building the maze, pouring water through the top waterfall tray, and role playing with the unicorn toys.

As they play, they’ll learn new words, such as pour, spill, maze, and more. Role playing is also a great way to engage their imaginations and express themselves in new and creative ways—plus, it’s incredibly cute for parents to watch!

Master Physical and Motor Skills

Pouring, splashing, and building are all super fun for children—but even more importantly, these tasks are helping them master physical dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Squeezing the toys and using their pincer grasps allows children to practice their fine motor skills as well.

Magical Easter Baskets for Kids

This Easter, create an Easter basket that your little one will play with for years to come! Use our guide to build a replica of our design or have fun picking out magical unicorn-themed toys for your child.
