Every Easter Sunday, before the Easter egg hunt and the glazed ham, parents get to enjoy the very best part of the holiday: waking up the kiddos with an Easter basket full of goodies. But when it's your baby's first Easter, the classic plastic eggs and jelly beans just won't cut it (and aren't really safe, anyway).
Luckily, we've rounded up the best Easter gifts for babies on the internet. We know the struggle all too well: They're too young for the toys your older kids love, but they still deserve something special on this holy day. That's why we've thought of everything, from plush play sets to stuffed animals. Bunnies, chicks, lambs, and other cute woodland creatures are featured among our top picks, along with the mischievous Peter Rabbit and friends. Our hope? To make that baby Easter basket one to remember.
Of course, if you're aiming to please a baby, you'll need to make sure each of the gifts you pick out for them can actually be used and enjoyed by their age group. Not to worry: We've done the work for you, compiling selections that are beautiful and easy to use, but most importantly appropriate for your son or daughter. After all, there's no need to compromise safety and practicality for adorability this year! Once you are done stuffing the Easter baskets, you can start planning Easter brunch ideas.
