Montessori Easter basket ideas that last past Easter

Most Easter baskets are full by lunchtime and forgotten by Monday. A Montessori Easter basket is different: a few well-made toys that a child will still be playing with in the summer. Every item in this collection was chosen because it fits an Easter theme, suits a baby or toddler, and keeps its value long after the chocolate has gone.

What should go in a toddler's Easter basket?

  • Montessori Egg Set: a carton of wooden eggs that split open to reveal matching colours and shapes. It is the perfect Easter toy, and one of our best sellers all year round.
  • Bible Busy Book: familiar Bible stories told through zips, buttons and flaps. A meaningful gift from grandparents and godparents at Easter.
  • Discovery Toy: lift, press and find the hidden animals; a delight for babies from around eight months.
  • Discovery Box: a wooden treasure box of beads, drawers and textures for toddlers who love to investigate.
  • Giraffe Busy Book: the soft, crinkly busy book for the youngest basket recipients.

Why a screen-free Easter matters

Easter is usually a long weekend with family, which makes it the ideal moment to introduce a toy that invites a child to sit down and concentrate. Matching eggs at the kitchen table, a busy book on grandma's lap, a wooden farm on the living-room floor: these are the memories that stick. Our guilt-free toys guide was written for grandparents who want to spoil a grandchild without adding to the plastic pile.

Easter egg hunt ideas with Montessori toys

Hide the wooden eggs from the Egg Set around the garden and let toddlers match them back into the carton afterwards. Tuck small busy-book pieces into plastic eggs for older children to find and fit. Finish with a quiet activity, a busy book or the Discovery Box, so the excitement winds down gently.

Every toy in this collection has a 45-day return window. Order early in the season to be sure of delivery before the weekend.
