Good, better, best: Easter baskets you can reuse year after year

Your child will be excited about what’s inside their Easter basket no matter the container, but the magic will be doubled if the basket itself is festive, as well. We’ve searched for the best Easter baskets out there and came up with three bunny-themed baskets that will thrill kids of any age. They are all reusable year after year, and each one has two pastel color options. Best of all, they are all made of soft materials, so it’s never uncomfortable to carry around a great egg-hunt haul. Kids from babies and up will enjoy that each one looks like the hero of the day — a bunny!

Good: Partywind Easter Bunny Basket

Choose the green or pink bunny basket with adorable ears that can hold its shape for a long time. With cute striped and gingham patterns, this canvas basket has the requisite handle that is soft unlike a wicker or plastic basket. This stain-resistant basket can be used year after year because it is washable, foldable, and durable. The ears really give this basket option a festive addition over a classic basket, and the soft canvas is gentle on hands of any age.

This soft and friendly basket takes the bunny theme to the next level with not only ears but also a face. It comes in either pink with a bow or blue with a bow tie.

Kids believing in Santa is one of the magical parts about being a parent and is a special time during their childhood. Just like as children do with the tooth fairy or Easter bunny, there comes a point when they outgrow their belief in the magic. If you grew up believing in Santa, you have happy memories of waiting for Saint Nick, but you also remember the moment you found out he wasn't real. For some, he drifts away, but for others, it is a formative moment to discover the big secret.

Guarding the secret is a stressful parental role, but if you know what age to expect the jig will be up, that may help. Will your kids hear it at school, from an older sibling, a cousin, on TV, or online? Should you safeguard against it or let it happen? We'll go over at what age kids stop believing in Santa, why they stop, and how to handle it so everyone can make the transition from believing in the magic to being a part of it seamless.
