I love putting together simple Catholic Easter baskets for my kids, godson, nieces, and nephews. I am always on the hunt for good quality and affordable goodies that can keep the Easter joy alive for all 50 days! Here are 7 Catholic Easter basket ideas for kids.
Free Easter Basket Scavenger Hunt
Years ago, I found a Christ-centered Easter basket scavenger hunt with clues to lead kids to their Easter basket. This is relatively easy to put together. You just need to print the clues, put them in eggs, and have them hidden for Easter morning.
I made a free Catholic Easter basket scavenger set of clues here. They are all based on Easter Scripture too!
Catholic Games
Holy Heroes “Name It”
We LOVE this game in our house! The Pope Edition is simple enough for ages 4 and up, but enjoyed by the entire family. My kids love getting their friends and grandparents to play when then come over to visit. There is also a general Catholic Edition.
It’s a fast-paced card game that can travels well in its sturdy tin. There are many ways to play which keeps the game interesting and fun. After playing this game multiple times, kids (and parents!) will know the names and uses of many important Catholic symbols.
Holy Heroes Saint Card Matching and Saint Bingo
The card set has saint pictures in Holy Heroes art style and come in a nice, sturdy tin. We love this one in our home, and frequently play it just as a matching game.
A second game you can play with the set is Saint Bingo. I love how the cards can be used in multiple ways with this added option, and kids are learning to recognize many amazing saints!

Catholic Books
Bead by Bead Rosary Set
This Bead by Bead Rosary Book Set set is pricey (be sure to use code ALEXANDRA for 10% off!), but it gets used constantly during rosary time in our home. It truly does allow the littlest Catholics (I would say ages 3 and up) to follow along when praying the rosary. The meditations for each Hail Mary bead are also lovely. You can buy the books as a set or buy 1 each year to start your little one’s collection. If you are just starting out, gifting the Glorious Mysteries is a great place to start!
New Power of Prayer Book
I am so excited about the newest Catholic Lego book: The Power of Prayer. We own the other 2 in the collection, and they are all phenomenal. You can read my thoughts about those and other awesome Catholic books here.
Digital Gifts
Digital gifts are great to reduce clutter in the home and awesome for entertaining and educating kids about the Catholic Faith.
Holy Heroes Glory Stories
The Holy Heroes Glory Stories are a great last minute Easter gift since they can be downloaded immediately. They also come in CD form, but without a CD player in my car, I do prefer the digital version. Choose your child’s favorite saint! The apostle Glory Stories are also incredible. We love the St. Peter one.
