Toddlers:
- This foam soap would be great to split between multiple kids Easter baskets.
- Toddler flash cards. I love to play iSpy with these in the car with my toddler. I tell him to find a picture and he loves to flip through them to find it. We "time him" to see how long it takes to find them.
- Baby black and white art cards. Babies love these- they're beautiful and are perfect for visual stimulation at a young age. I love to hand them these to look at in the car.

- Easter Egg Stress Balls. These are the cutest, prettiest colors and textures inside, and are such a fun item for Easter.
- Air Toobs toy. Ok, I know this is a BIG gift for Easter, but I have to include it because this is a major favorite for all of my kids. It's so fun for toddlers because they can put the ball into the machine by itself and they love watching it fly through the tunnels they create. If you do a bigger group gift for Easter, let it be this!
