Easter baskets are often filled with plastic eggs and candy, and while these essentials are fun ways to celebrate the holiday, sometimes you want to give your kids more than the typical chocolate bunny. For Easter, tap into his passions and hobbies to create a basket filled with toys and trinkets he'll love.

It probably seems like your little boy is growing up fast, so take the time this holiday to step back and watch him enjoy this special surprise on Easter Sunday. To ensure he beams with joy once he spots his basket, we're sharing stuffers that will spark creativity and keep him occupied long after the Easter bunny has come and gone. For the little guy who loves fixing things just like his dad, add a toy toolbox to his Easter basket. Give it personalized flare by having his name painted onto the side. He'll love having one of his own set of tools, and you'll love his zest for the little things in life.

If your little one is a budding paleontologist, we're sharing a gift that will have him hopping with delight. A toy egg hatches under water revealing a colorful dinosaur that he'll proudly display in his room. For an even younger boy, the painting set we found will keep him occupied for hours. It comes with a wide array of painting tools and washable paint to ensure your home stays clean, without putting a damper on his creative vision.

Of course, no child's Easter basket would be complete without a few delicious treats, which is why we selected chocolate eggs and marshmallows that are befitting of such a fun holiday. Ahead, explore all of our favorite Easter basket ideas for boys and prepare to build a basket that'll be met with pure delight.
