Easter Basket Ideas for Kids – Outdoor Toys

Get ready for Spring with some really fun outdoor toys in your kids’ baskets this year. I love tucking a really fun outdoor toy in my kids’ Easter basket and they are just thrilled on Easter morning. It gets them excited about playing outside and I can hide the fact that I didn’t stuff their Easter baskets with tons of candy. We have found so many neat options for kids of all ages. Check out our huge list of great ideas.

To save this fun list to your Pinterest for later, press the “pin-it” button above. 

1. Diabolo Chinese Yoyo

The Juggle Dream Jester Diabolo is a perfect starter chinese yoyo for kids and beginners. My kids have one of these and they have had so much fun with it. Your kids will love trying new tricks and learning to master the Diabolo. This version comes with a bearing axle that only spins one way. That means you can get your diabolo spinning much faster and for longer than with the fixed axle found on the standard Jester. The bearing axle also gives you an extra wide gap between the cups. This extra space makes finger and stick grinds easier to perform than with diabolos that have a narrower axle. The cups are made from a durable rubber that is scratch resistant and can handle drops from height and durable fiberglass sticks. These hand sticks are strong but fairly lightweight. These fibreglass has a bit of flex which can help you accelerate the diabolo more quickly. This set comes with a drawstring bag to store your diabolo set.
