4 Eco-Friendly Easter Gifts to Fill Any Child's Basket

Kids love Easter and all the fun things that come along with it: Easter baskets, Easter egg hunts and lots of candy. But much of what they like is not eco-friendly. The baskets are filled with plastic grass, plastic eggs and candy covered in foil wrappings. Why not fill your child's basket with eco-friendly options this year. Listed here are four eco-friendly Easter gifts kids will love to find in their baskets.

Seed Packets
Little ones love playing in the garden so encourage that green thumb early by stashing a few seed packets in their Easter Basket. Spring is the ideal time to plant seeds, so make sure your child is excited by picking varieties that they loves. Hardy vegetables include: cucumbers, zucchini, and tomatoes. All grow incredibly well when properly cared for. Grab a colorful watering can and stuff it with all the fun eco-friendly Easter gifts (including the seeds) you picked up for your child for a unique presentation.

Made from 100 percent recycled plastic grocery bags, the Ecosaucer will thrill any kid that is lucky to find it in their Easter basket. The bright green color is easy to spot as it's soaring through the air. The Ecosaucer retails for only $4.99. At that price you can put one in every child's basket!
