Easter is a holiday full of colors, joy, and traditions—and while babies may not be ready for chocolate bunnies or egg hunts just yet, that doesn’t mean they have to miss out on the fun! Whether it’s your little one’s first Easter or you're simply looking for cute and meaningful ways to celebrate, here’s a list of baby-friendly Easter ideas that are as adorable as they are unforgettable.
🐰 1. Dress Up Your Little Bunny
What’s Easter without cute outfits? From fluffy bunny ears to pastel onesies, there are so many adorable ways to dress your baby for the occasion. Think soft, breathable materials in gentle spring colors like blush pink, baby blue, mint, and butter yellow.
Photo Idea: Lay baby on a soft blanket surrounded by Easter eggs, flowers, or plush chicks. Instant scrapbook moment!
🧺 2. Create a Baby-Friendly Easter Basket
Skip the candy and go for soft, safe, and age-appropriate goodies instead. Here’s what you can add:
A soft plush bunny or chick
Teething toys in pastel colors
Board books with an Easter or spring theme
A new outfit or pair of socks
Baby-safe bubbles for some outdoor fun
A keepsake Easter rattle or bib
Add a little tissue paper, wrap it with love, and boom — cuteness overload.
🥚 3. Baby-Safe “Egg” Hunt
Your baby might not be crawling or walking just yet, but you can still create a sensory egg-hunt experience!
Use large, soft plastic eggs that are safe to touch and rattle.
Fill them with sensory items like fabric scraps, baby cereal (sealed), or gentle jingles.
Let baby “find” them around a padded play area or let them explore the textures while you guide.
If your baby is a bit older and crawling, scatter a few safe items for them to discover—just be sure everything is non-toxic and too big to swallow.
🎵 4. Sing Songs and Read Stories
Easter is the perfect time to introduce seasonal nursery rhymes and springtime books. Try singing songs like “Little Bunny Foo Foo” or reading colorful board books like “Peter Rabbit” or “Duck & Goose: Here Comes the Easter Bunny!”
It’s calming, engaging, and great for bonding.
📸 5. Easter Photoshoot at Home
You don’t need a pro photographer—just natural light, some simple props, and a baby in a bunny bonnet.
Theme ideas:
Garden baby (florals, watering can, plush animals)
Bunny baby (ears + fluffy blanket)
Mini picnic (baby-safe toys + pastel picnic blanket)
These memories are the kind you’ll cherish forever—and they make great posts for the grandparents, too.
🌷 6. Celebrate with Baby’s First Easter Keepsakes
If it’s your baby’s first Easter, consider getting a personalized keepsake:
A photo frame that says “My First Easter”
A handprint/footprint kit
A custom bib or onesie with the date
A memory journal entry with a printed photo
You’ll love looking back at these tiny mementos as your baby grows.
🐣 A Gentle Reminder: Keep Easter Baby-Safe
Easter décor can be beautiful but not always baby-proof. Here are a few quick safety tips:
Avoid small plastic eggs or toys that can be choking hazards
Skip the fake grass in Easter baskets—it’s not baby-safe
Keep chocolate and candy far from little hands
Supervise all playtime and photo ops
🧡 Celebrate Easter, Baby Style
Easter with a baby is less about candy and chaos, and more about cuddles, calm moments, and creating new traditions. Whether you’re making memories through photos, play, or just a quiet spring stroll, this season is a special time to pause and enjoy the little things — especially your little one.
