Having a Christ-centered Easter can seem hard, but it doesn’t have to be. These are some of the very best Christian Easter basket ideas for kids and tweens.

Are you looking for ideas for Christian Easter Baskets? We can help!

Raising a large Christian family can be expensive.

Over the years, most of our Easter baskets have been filled with Easter candy, coins, and chocolate bunnies. Nothing fancy or expensive. And unfortunately, not very Christ-centered.

But our kids, the little loves, have always been thrilled with these simple Easter baskets.

However, as we’ve climbed up the corporate ladder, our income has gone up, and so has our ability to invest a small amount into an Easter basket for each kid.

But in addition to any toys or educational games we decide on, we always make sure a great portion of our Easter ideas and gifts have a strong focus on Christ.

It’s easy to have a Christ-centered Christmas. But families seem to struggle with having a Christian Easter. And that’s not okay! He is risen, and we need to teach our children that – now more than ever!

But have no fear, I’m here to help!

Here are some of our favorite Christ-centered Easter gift ideas for god-fearing, Christian kids!

Christian Themed Easter Basket Ideas that Remind Kids about Jesus

Check out all these great ideas for Christian Easter baskets!

1. Bible Stories Water Wow

These little water wow toys are so fun!  They are perfect for car rides or sitting quietly in church.  

The kids can color without making a mess anywhere.  And once the water dries, the colors disappear and the book is ready to be used again!

These come in lots of different (and fun) themes, but for a Christ-centered Easter basket, try the bible story theme.

Or here is the same idea from a different company, Kanga Toys.

2. Reusable Resurrection Storyboard with Stickers

If your child is into stickers, check out this reusable storyboard.

Your child has a nice, sturdy backdrop with which to play out the Easter story. Put the little sticker people on the board, and replace them as the story unfolds.

This is a great resource for reinforcing the true meaning of Easter through play!

3. Stuffed Jesus Doll

This little stuffed Jesus doll is another fun resource for teaching kids the true meaning of Easter.

Your child can run and play with this Jesus doll just like she would any other doll. But this Easter gift will subconsciously teach your child a deeply rooted love for Jesus as she grows to love this little doll.

4. Silly Easter Shirt

This silly Easter shirt is a fun way to include kids of all ages in a Christ-centered Easter basket. If you search Amazon, you’ll find a couple of different style options.

This cute shirt is a fun way to include the fun parts of Easter while still focusing on the most important part – our Savior.

5. Resurrection of Jesus Christ Magnet Toys

Similar to the sticker storyboard listed above, this Resurrection storyboard uses felt. Felt is must more mom-friendly (no stickers on the carpet!) but still just as fun for kids! The perfect Christ-centered Easter gift.

6. Resurrection Eggs

Resurrection Eggs are quickly growing in popularity amongst Christian families.

These are fun because they seamlessly combine the fun of the Easter bunny and Easter eggs with the true meaning of Easter.

As you open each egg, you go through the most important parts of the true Easter story. Included are some stickers and a cute little storybook.

7. Little Stuffed Lamb

Isn’t this little stuffed lamb the cutest thing??

It’s soft and huggable, just perfect for young kids. And when you wind it, this lamb plays the song “Jesus Loves Me.” (Honestly? This is probably my favorite of all the Easter gift ideas on this list.)

8. Cross Lamp

Another great gift idea for older kids, this Cross lamp is a fun yet sophisticated way to remember Jesus: both at Easter and all year long!

9. Easter Storybooks that Focus on Jesus

Another favorite Easter gift idea at our house is a storybook that talks about Jesus. And there are so many to choose from!

Some are cutesy and fun, while others are more sacred and spiritual in nature.

Nowadays, there is a book for just about every topic and theme imaginable. So if you’re on the hunt for some great Easter books that talk about the true meaning of Easter, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding what you need.

10. Melissa and Doug Reusable Sticker Pad

And just in case you haven’t seen enough sticker options, here is a giant set of Bible story stickers for you!

Melissa and Doug is a great brand and they always put out quality stuff. This set includes 5 reusable backgrounds and more than 160 Bible-themed stickers. Perfect for Christian Easter baskets!

11. Pre-Filled Christian Puzzle Easter Eggs

These pre-filled Easter eggs feature Jesus Christ’s cross on the outside so for every egg your kids find, they will remember what Easter is all about.

This way you don’t have to anything put click ‘go’ and the work is all done for you.

Just imagine your kiddo’s surprise when they open this Christ-themed Easter gift. Bible verses will be a regular part of your Easter morning celebrations.

12. Jesus Christ Puzzle

Kids of all ages will love a quality Jesus Christ puzzle. Those free printable Easter puzzles I listed above are great, but if you’re spending money on an Easter basket idea, why not invest a few bucks on a really nice puzzle?

13. Easter Sunday Church Outfit

Going to church is the best way to spend Easter morning. And finding a special Easter Sunday church outfit in their basket is a great way to remind kids about why we celebrate Easter.

I don’t know if you’ll be able to find the perfect Easter morning outfit online or if you’d have better luck at a local store.

But a new church outfit is a good Easter gift idea.

14. Easter Cross Necklace

Why not put a pretty cross necklace in their basket?

This is a great way to share the message of Jesus’ death and resurrection this Easter. It’s also a great reminder that Jesus is always with them no matter where they go.

You can find plenty of options online or pick up some craft supplies and make your own!

15. Bible Verse Easter Eggs

These are perfect for kids of all ages, especially if you need something that isn’t chocolate-filled.

You can find kits online or make your own by writing Bible verses on paper strips, inserting them in plastic eggs, and decorating the outside of each egg with religious symbols. Not only will your children learn scripture, but they’ll also have a lot of fun opening up their eggs.

This isn’t just a good idea for Christian Easter baskets – it’s also a great idea for Christ-centered Easter egg hunts.

16. Christian Music

Gift your children with the gift of music! CDs, digital downloads, or streaming services are all great ways to encourage your family’s faith. You can find plenty of Christian songs online that will teach your children about God and Jesus in a fun and entertaining way. It’s a great idea for fun Christian Easter baskets for kids!

And there you have it! A compilation of the best Christian Easter gifts for elementary-aged kids. I hope you find this list useful and I hope your family has a very happy Easter!
