Easter Basket Printables

Easter Printables resurrection basket

Looking for an alternative to the traditional Easter basket? Focus on what really matters in your family with these FREE Easter printables!

In our home, Easter is all about the cross. In fact, that famous little bunny has never even stopped by. It’s not that we are bunny haters or anything. I simply found that I couldn’t bring myself to focus Easter morning on it. I want that day to be all about the amazing gift that we have in the resurrection of our Savior. Maybe you do as well.

So I came up with a compromise that has been a beautiful tradition in our home. Instead of a traditional basket and talk of a bunny, we have a resurrection basket. Even though it’s not hidden by a cute little bunny, it creates such fun for the children on Easter morning. The basket is filled with things that celebrate God’s love for them and Jesus’ priceless gift to us through salvation.

I figured you might want in on the fun this year, so we created a few Easter printables to go in the basket. Use one or use them all. It’s up to you, of course! Just have fun planting God’s truth into the hearts of your children. That’s what this day (and every day) is really all about!

What’s Included in the Resurrection Basket Easter Printables:

My kids love candy bars. I mean, who doesn’t?! So, the first printable is the candy bar printable! You simply wrap the printable around their favorite candy bar, and viola! With 2 Corinthians 5:15 on the front, you will have a message of Christ’s love wrapped around a sweet treat.

The second printable included is the “Stone Was Rolled Away” printable. This is intended to wrap around a pack of Rollos. But it could also be wrapped around any other longer, round candy. On the front, Luke 24:2 tells of the stone “rolling” away. Get it? Rollos?

Finally, you’ll get the Band-Aid printable. Isaiah 53:5 says, “But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.” This printable is a great lead-in to talk about Jesus being wounded for us. The Band-Aids give the visual that makes it easy for kids to understand. You can wrap this around a box of Band-Aids for the perfect visual reminder. (And if your kids are like mine, they go through Band-Aids in no time!)

To create your own basket, you will need:

  • Candy bar(s)
  • Rollos (or other longer, round candy)
  • Band-Aids
  • Paper
  • Tape
  • Basket

In my kids’ baskets, I also included our traditional chocolate crosses that I purchase every year at Target for $1, as well as the Lindt chocolate lambs. And I added a bag of jelly beans with the Jelly Bean Prayer Printable stapled to the top.

Maybe you aren’t into the “Easter basket” idea. That’s OK too! You could use these printable-covered candies as small gifts for your kids to hand out at church to teachers or friends. You could even use the Band-Aid printable as a visual aid to a Sunday school class. Or you might want to use the candy bars as a way to invite neighbors to your Easter service. Basket or no basket, these printables make it simple to send a fun but meaningful message of Christ this Easter.

    What a great idea! We have done resurrection eggs every year after church. We have a family devotional time and then some treats. It hard to find a balance when our children see the worldly Easter every time you leave the house. Thanks for sharing the printables! Huge help to us computer challenged moms!

    I love the printables! If I understand correct, you are including a chocolate cross, chocolate lambs, jelly beans, a roll of Rolos, a candy bar (kid favorite?), and a box of band-aides in your kids’ Resurrection Basket. Did I get that correct? Thank you for sharing.

    What age would this be appropriate for? I have a 3 year old granddaughter. She doesn’t read, and I’d rather her not have too much chocolate. I was thinking an Easter book, stickers, craft….. Your thoughts?

      This would be appropriate for any age child though you would need to read them to younger children. There is a variety of printables to choose from so you could use what works for you. Books, stickers and crafts sound like great ideas!

    Thank you for this!! We stopped all secular Easter activities two years ago but I also struggle with how to help my kids get excited for Easter now. This might be the perfect compromise. We also do a “feet washing ritual” on Easter in our house now. Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, so we do it for each other on that day.

Here’s What Others Are Saying about Not Consumed

Like Being With a Girlfriend

Thanks for sharing a piece of your family. Your blog is, honestly, the only one I have ever subscribed to. I feel like I'm on the phone with a girlfriend every time I read your words. I love it! I often find myself spending hours clicking from one post to the next telling myself, "okay, one more and then go to bed!" It's all just so helpful!

Monthly Scripture Pages

Thank you for creating the monthly Scripture pages... especially the KJV one! It's the only Bible I use and hardly any bloggers use it on their stuff. I also really appreciate the products that you provide. I really appreciate the insights, laughter, and thoughtfulness put into your blog, emails, Facebook posts, etc.

Lasting Impression on My Entire Family

I wanted to write to encourage you and say, "THANK YOU!" I've been following your blog for years, and you have made such a lasting impression on my entire family. We've purchased many of your Bible Studies and a few other wonderful homeschooling resources, all of which we absolutely love!!! Still, I believe the greatest compliment I can give you is that because of your Bible Studies that my children and I have completed together, my oldest daughter has been so inspired, she's started creating her own daily devotionals, modeled after the ones you've made. They are absolutely precious (in her own little 12-year old way), and she prints one off each morning for our entire family to complete during our quiet time. When she finishes her first "study" (which is on the Fruits of the Spirit by the way), she plans to print a set to hand out to her small group at church. To see my daughter take ownership of her faith in this way and to bless others with a deeper study of God's Word is a precious gift to me, and I can't thank you enough for your inspiration and positive influence!

Love everything you do!

As far as the other things, I LOVE my brothers keeper and we've done it twice over the past year or two. I recommend it all the time on so many groups online. I type notconsumed.com almost daily somewhere on something. At times I will come across another resource you have created and it's like you are in my head. So much of what you create is exactly what I want but am not techy enough to do! I had googled a checklist for homeschooling recently and yours popped up. It was exactly the simple thing I wanted. I told my husband that you "get me" when I found it. :) I ended up buying it then hearing about the course and did that too. Even as a veteran homeschool mom I learned a few things from your course. I really love how you foster independence in your kids in stages. Again, exactly what I want to do!

Fabulous, heart-felt resources for parents!

Thank you, Kim, for continuing to offer such fabulous and heart-felt resources to us parents! I was not raised in a Christian home and feel like I’m floundering in the dark trying to raise my children to know and love the Lord. Your emails and bible studies are my lifeline! You should write a parenting manual!

May God continue to bless you and your family abundantly!

My daughter loves it all!

I just want to write and let you know that my 13-year-old daughter loves, love, loves everything I have ever ordered from you and says that she wants your entire inventory of bible studies for her next birthday!

Thank you for making a positive difference in our lives!

You're in my head, sister!

I just wanted you to know that I LOVE your blog. I can’t tell you how much the homeschooling posts have meant to me. It’s like you’re in my head, sister!! Thank you so much for taking the time in your busy life to minister to struggling moms and making me feel as if I’m not alone.

Brings courage to my heart!

I want to thank you for your transparency and dedication to blessing families with resources. Thank you for the life giving words that I read over and over. I cling to the hope I see in your story. Not only did you help me work through things that had happened, you prepared me for a situation that could have consumed me. God used your encouragement to strengthen me. I was so beaten down, discouraged, and tired from the long and difficult path I had been walking. It was a refreshing rain in the middle of a weary road, and it made me hope for a future that is victorious.

Life-giving Words

What an encouragement your words have been to me! The practical tips and realistic systems that you share are so super helpful, but what I have appreciated the most has been your genuine heart for the Lord and for the things of the Lord. What I sense through your words is a heart submitted to the Lord, clinging to Him instead of to bitterness. Walking a path that you never signed up for, painfully aware of your brokenness and inadequacies, but keeping your eyes focused on the only Giver of Life. You have a testimony of victory, of overcoming, Kim. Your life-giving words boast of the faithfulness of a God who hears and sees and knows and provides and comforts. A God who doesn't change.

Positive Impact in My Life

I've been following your blog for a couple years and I have enjoyed participating in your free bible studies/devotions as well as those I've purchased from you. I just wanted to let you know that you've made such a positive impact in my spiritual and home school life, as well as support and encouragement for motherhood. Thank you for being such a blessing to so many moms.

Bible Studies are Incredible!

I just ordered and am in the process of printing out so many of your amazing resources and I can't wait to get started! Your bible studies are incredible and so thoughtful, your planner is wonderfully laid out and your breakfast and lunch stations will save me so much time!! I don't know how you do it all, but I'm thankful you do!
