Easter Basket Gift Guide
Easter Baskets are such a fun tradition that children look forward to on Easter Sunday, but did you know that Easter Baskets and Easter eggs can be used as an opportunity to share the story of Christ's resurrection? As a Catholic mom, I am always looking for fun ways to teach my kids about our Catholic faith in a way that is engaging and meaningful. It is a tradition in the Catholic church for families to bring baskets filled with food to church on Easter Sunday for the priest to bless for them. After the meal is eaten and the baskets emptied, the children can use them to collect Easter eggs. When we take the candy out of our eggs, it reminds us of how Jesus came out of the grave. So, our Easter baskets can be used to tell us the story of how Jesus was born, how He died, and how He came back to life on Easter! Here are some Easter Basket gift ideas we put together that are sure to bring the recipient joy as well as helping them on their faith journey.
