So, what does the Easter hunt look like in your house? Do you lay out chocolate eggs? Or, do you host a full-in Easter hunt? When the kids are little, it's easy to find little toys and treats to fill their Easter baskets. When the kids get older, it can be more challenging.

The best tip is to know what interests your kids have. We have gathered up a variety of things to fill your tween's Easter basket with. Celebrate your kids' uniqueness and take some inspiration from our list of Easter basket ideas for older kids. 

FYI we have tried to keep this list gender neutral - because what is a "girl" gift or a "boy" gift? So, we think these are great Easter basket ideas for tween girls and great Easter basket ideas for tween boys. 

Easter Basket Filler Ideas for Tweens

plastic rectangular baskets

The first step in creating a tween Easter basket is using a great basket. We love these colorful storage baskets. They aren't a typical Easter basket, but they are super useful for storing things in your tween's bedroom. The colours are great and this is nice size for stuffing all of the Easter treats inside.

three white woven baskets

If your tween would prefer something softer, this cloth storage basket is another great option. Again, you want to use something that will be put to good use after being used as an Easter basket.

blue silk pillowcase covers

Now it's time to fill up the basket! Skip the typical plastic grass and line the basket with a cute silk pillowcase that your tween can use in their bedroom. These soft and silky Jimoo Mulberry Silk pillowcases come in a variety of colors. Choose a color that coordinates with your tween's bedroom.

easter squishmallow

 Okay, let's fill this tween Easter basket! How cute is this squishy rainbow Easter bunny kitten? Who could resist squishy this cutie?! Equal parts Easter egg and Easter bunny!

easter egg cookies jigsaw puzzle

Unplug the screens and keep the tweens (and teens) busy all Easter weekend long with this Easter cookie jigsaw puzzle from Cobblehill. This one is going to take some time to put together...a great family activity. 

lush easter egg bath bomb set

There's always something fun at LUSH. They have a great collection of Easter bath bombs, and carrot bubble bars, and check out their Golden Egg Easter gift set! 

easter socks 6 pairs

March Madness is pretty popular around Easter. Have some fun with these Easter socks.

This one is for the younger tweens. A fun Easter egg hunt LEGO set is a great toy that the kids can bring out year after year.

easter mad libs booklet

Kids of all ages (and adults) love creating silly Mad Libs stories. Add this festive Easter Eggstravaganza Mad Libs to your tween's Easter basket.

pair of easter bunny earrings

A sweet pair of Easter bunny earrings make a lovely keepsake Easter gift for tween girls, that they will wear for years to come.

skin covers for video game controllers

If you're kid like playing video games you are sure to be able to find a new skin to cover their controller with. I liked this colorful option for Easter and spring. Go with what your kids likes, there are plenty of options available.

2 chocolate easter eggs filled with cream fillings

It wouldn't be an Easter basket if it didn't include some Easter chocolate! We love Russell Stover chocolates. These beautiful Easter eggs are filled with strawberry cream, or what about a sweet confetti filling? It's a very special treat.

easter bunny bowl with bunny on edge of lettuce

Now, this may be an Easter bunny snack bowl, but we think it would make a great little dish to hold hair elastics or your tween's jewelry. A super versatile Easter gift for tweens.

popcorn movies for kids

Gift your tween a trip to the movies with passes to your local movie theatre. Always a great gift for tweens.

owala water bottle

The Owala water bottle makes an eco-friendly Easter basket item for tweens. Every kid needs a reusable water bottle and this one looks awesome.

free printable Easter would you rather questions for kids

Kids love playing would you rather games. Include a set of our Would you rather Easter edition in your tween's Easter basket and have fun playing together.

midliner creative highlighters pack of 10

Highlighters! Here's a great easter basket filler for those studious tweens. Yep, these Midline highlighters in beautiful spring colors make a fun addition to your tween Easter basket

easter bunny baking pan

Bake a very special dessert for Easter. An awesome Easter bunny cake baking kit - includes everything your tween, or teen, needs to bake and decorate an Easter bunny cake.

nail polish in bottle

Easter means we can celebrate all the springtime colors. Grab a selection of light and bright spring nail polishes for your tween Easter basket. We are loving all of the best sellers from Essie. You can't go wrong with any combination of these colors.

cozy easter coloring book

Oh, we love this intricate Easter egg colouring book. With a set of markers or pencil crayons, this would make a super creative addition to a tween Easter basket.
