Have you thought about a grass alternative to stuff into the bottom of your Easter Baskets? We have young children, and on top of being a headache to clean up, it’s a choking hazard. I prefer something that isn’t going to be immediately thrown out. Here are a few Easter Basket Grass Alternatives.
EASTER BASKET GRASS ALTERNATIVES
1.) BLOCKS
One year I used blocks. We had a ton of them lying around, so I didn’t even need to buy any.
2.) TOWELS
One year I used GREEN TOWELS. It’s functional, soft, and looks like grass. Perfect. It also did a great job of providing just the right padding to bump up the items in the basket for a beautiful display. I highly recommend it because you can pick them up inexpensively depending on where you shop.
With 4 kids, I try to keep things budget friendly. I enjoyed these 5 Tips to Stay on Budget this Easter.
3.) BALLS
Got a ball pit? If so this could be an easy way to fill the bottom of your baskets. Try to gather as many of the same color to give each child a unique color, perhaps.
4.) SOCKS
Who doesn’t need a fresh pair of socks? Pick up several packs of them and ball them up (clean ones of course) and pad the bottom of your baskets with them.
5.) CUSTOM BLANKETS
I’ve heard a few friends say they’ve collected old onesies from their baby’s drawer and shipped them away to have them made into blankets. Now THAT would be a super cute basket filler. If you are handy with a needle, you could do this yourself. Hmm, maybe I will try it this year.
6.) WIGGLY WORMS (BONUS!)
That bunny is hopping all around this spring. The yard is muddy and a few worms hitched a ride in with him. Typically in the spring you may find a few packs of inexpensive toy worms. Brightly colored and fun, these are a cute way to line your basket. BONUS POINTS for adding a small brown hand towel over them before you add the basket items.

Pretty much anything can be used as an alternative to that icky plastic grass. Look around your house and see what you have in abundance. Crayons? Beanie Babies? Mini Potato Heads? Get creative.
