A fabric Easter basket for kids wins on the two counts that matter most to a small child: it is lighter to carry, and it does not scratch. This one is made in yellow linen with a baby chick face, so it looks like a soft toy that the child happens to be allowed to fill with candy.Straw baskets shed, snag, and crack the first time somebody sits on one, and they are awkward to store for the other eleven months of the year. A linen basket is far easier to keep, and it can be handed along to the next child in the family. Buying one good basket instead of a fresh one every spring is the entire argument for this one.After the egg hunt it goes on working as a bedside catch-all for small toys, hair clips, and treasures, which is more than can be said for the basket that goes back in the garage until next March.What should you put in a toddler's Easter basket? Typical Easter basket fillers for young children are a small plush toy, a board book, bubbles or sidewalk chalk, and a limited amount of candy. Fabric baskets are commonly chosen for toddlers because they are lighter to carry and store flat between years.
