Dollar Tree Easter Baskets for Kids

Check out how I made these cute Dollar Tree Easter Baskets using only supplies from that one store. 

I went into our Dollar Tree store last week and they had a huge display of Easter goodies! I wanted to do an experiment to see what kind of Easter baskets I could make while just using those $1.00 items.

I’m sure you can find lots of great low price items at other stores, but I thought I would try to do everything in one store.

Dollar Tree Easter Basket Supplies

With the help of a certain 7 year old boy, I decided to use these 23 items:

• 1 bag of yellow Easter grass (split between both baskets)
• 2 organizing buckets (I looked at the Easter pails & baskets. These would be great for an egg hunt but not big enough for this project. These are found in the household aisle.)
• 2 stuffed animals (I was surprised at how cute and soft these were.)
• 2 Russell Stover Chocolate Bunnies
• 2 packages of fillable Easter eggs (They have so many cute varieties of these. It was hard to choose.)
• 1 package of stampers (I used these in the fillable eggs and split this package between both baskets.)
• 1 package of Twix (I used these in the fillable eggs and split this package between both baskets.)
• 1 package of Hershey Kisses (I used these in the fillable eggs and split this package between both baskets.)
• 2 Plastic Mason Jar Cups (one blue & one pink) These were too adorable to pass up!
• 2 Pinball Games
• 2 Big Bubble Wands (one Lion Guard & one Disney Princess)
• 2 Bubble Bottles (one Star Wars & one Disney Princess)
• 1 Star Wars Puzzle (Dollar Tree has a huge assortment of puzzles)
• 1 Backyard Travels Bug Catching Kit
• 1 Doc McStuffins Coloring Book

I assembled all the items into the two baskets. Then, I went through my ribbon stash and found some white ribbon to thread through the holes around the basket. I made a tag using supplied I already have to add a little decoration to the baskets.
