Promising review: "If you wanna keep children busy for hours, get these. You can’t beat this price for that many, and they are reusable and washable.

Promising review: "So cute! My niece is a big fan of Cam the Cat and loves this lip balm. It has a mild vanilla scent and is not too oily. The cat is made of a squishy foam material, making it super fun for kids. I’ll try to find the other characters to get all of the lip balms in this collection." —N. Aco

My son adores the books from this series! We have too many to count, but somehow haven't snagged this one just yet. Each book follows the same group of kids on an adventure to "catch" a mythical creature. Their attempts are always so silly and charming — you and your kiddos will both giggle while reading it!

Promising review: "My daughter is obsessed with the 'How To Catch' series, and this Easter Bunny edition is no exception! It's the perfect book to read aloud together on Easter morning. The story is fun and engaging, following a child setting traps to catch the Easter Bunny. The illustrations are bright and colorful, and my daughter loves pointing out all the hidden Easter eggs (literally!).

This book is more than just a story, though — it's inspired some creative pretend play around here! We've been setting up our own traps and giggling about how sneaky the Easter Bunny must be. If you're looking for a festive and fun Easter book for your little one, I highly recommend this one!" —Maritza

I got this for my daughter for her Easter basket this year! It's colorful, cute, and filled with all of her favorite Sesame Street friends! She's gonna love it.

Promising review: "Got this book for my grandson for Easter. He loves books and he was so excited to get this one. Elmo is his favorite!" —kseeyore

Pass out all the cards to the players and keep all the stacks facedown. Everyone takes a turn putting a card down in the middle, while saying "taco," "cat," "goat," "cheese," and "pizza," in that order. If the picture on your card matches the word that's said, everyone races against each other to slap their hand on the central pile of cards. Whoever is last must take the pile of cards and add them to their stack, and the person who runs out of cards first wins! Also, this awesome game comes from a small business!

Promising review: "The title says it all! You must buy this game if you’re looking to get your kids off their butts, computers, phones, or TV! My children sat for hours, five to be exact, just playing this and laughing. It was a lot of fun for my husband and me to hear them not fighting and doing something together. Loads of fun!! We even loved playing with them!! 🥰🤘" —Melinda Haiden

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (and check out the new waterproof poolside version!)

Get it from Amazon for $8.59 (available in six styles).

My son loves these activity books, so when I discovered they had an Easter-themed one, it was a no-brainer to order one for his basket. He's going to be over the moon! Plus, it'll keep him busy as we travel to our destination for the day.

Promising review: "My 6-year-old daughter LOVES doing paint by stickers. It's a great motor skills activity and a fun way for her to identify and match numbers correctly. She has several of the books, so adding this to her Easter basket was a perfect fit. I use them for quiet activities after school or on the weekends, and it's also great to take them on the go in the car. I like that she can do the activity mostly on her own and she is always so proud of her work when the final reveal is complete." —Lindsay S.

Promising review: "Daughter loves them! They fit perfectly on her feet and look great." —anonymous

Get them from Old Navy for $2.99+ (available in kids sizes 1–13 and three styles).

Promising review: "Used this as one Easter basket stuffer for my 4- and 2-year-olds. They love playing hide and seek, and love Easter egg hunts, so this was the perfect gift!! It’s easy to use and fun for the whole family!" —heather

Promising review: "This cute little Mouse Trap game is faithful to the original, clear down to the tiniest mouse you've ever seen. I suggest you keep the instructions with this one. It's so small, it takes time to assemble. They even included four little ball bearings. As with all World's Smallest, it self-stores in the plastic case." —dsk

Honestly, anything from the World's Smallest brand would be great for an Easter basket!

Promising review: "Holds so much water for school-age kiddos! My kid has sensory issues and only likes plastic water bottles; she does not like metal ones, so these are great if yours is the same way. They have zero leakage and have lasted us through many, many school days and adventures. No weird smells or off tastes like the metal ones sometimes do, which is what we like! Fits comfortably in the side backpack holders. I really hope they never stop making this type of water bottle!" —Kerianne

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 25 designs).

Promising review: "This game comes in a small regular deck, and it is seriously so much fun. The rules are extremely simple and seem age-appropriate for nearly everyone. I think kids would especially have fun, but I could definitely see getting great laughs amongst a group of adults. The cartoonish nature of the art is really fun, and I was beyond pleased with the deck's value. We can't wait to play this with our friends and family on our next camping trip. Good clean fun!" —Miscellaneous Reviews

These activity pads have become one of my go-to parenting products! My son will sit and "color" for a decent amount of time, and I love that he learns while he does. All you have to do is fill the pen with some water, then securely twist the back onto it so it doesn't leak out all over (been there). I packed one as a surprise for a recent flight, and my toddler was *SO* excited. It kept him busy and didn't make a mess — big win for Mom!

Promising review: "This kept my little one entertained on a five-hour flight. I especially love how it can be used over again once it dries back up! Great price!" —morenog

Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in seven styles).

Promising review: "Such a fun toy. They're easy to take to play with in a restaurant or while waiting. Very versatile. They can be made into just about anything. A fish, a bracelet, a rocket ship. They can be used many times." —Nicole Hadley 

Promising review: "Best game around! I bring it with me everywhere. My husband and I play three rounds almost every night. Easy for kids to learn. We play with my nephews and they love it! Great stocking stuffer or gift idea!" —Jessa Blondin

Psst: there is a K-Pop Demon Hunters version of this game!

My kids have these sensory tubes, and I often find myself absentmindedly playing with them. They're very satisfying to push and pull, despite the somewhat annoying sound they make. Both my toddlers love them! My daughter chews on them (that's fine, right?) and my kids love wiggling them around like worms. They're a simple toy that gets the job done.

Promising review: "My toddler daughter is gonna love these tubes, but grandpa is gonna be annoyed by the noise. Haha. Good quality toy." —Sheena

Get a set of eight from Amazon for $7.95 (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "I bought these for my 4-year-old nephew and 2-year-old niece for when they come to visit. Right out of the box, they were excited and loved tossing them up in the air and watching them fall. I was amazed as to how long it kept their interest and the different ways they played with them. They dropped them off the stair landing, off the couch, in the yard and held them behind them to expand as they ran. My niece liked 'dancing' with them and twirling it around. Good colors and very well made. Hours of fun and the best $7 I ever spent on a toy!" —hiker0811

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors).

It also comes with a teeny tiny book any goat-lover will appreciate.

Promising review: "This little piece of screaming plastic has created an excellent outlet for resolving frustrations in our home. Every time a conflict or struggle arises, we push the little goat, get a gratifying screech, chuckle, and move on throughout our day. No regrets on purchasing this. When you get one, get four or five because you're going to want to share with family and friends." —Amazon Customer
