Easter Basket Inspiration for Kids with Autism – Last-Minute Picks

Easter is just around the corner! If you participate and are looking for trinkets or gifts to fill your student's basket, we have a roundup of ideas for you. They range from sensory appealing gadgets and gizmos to classic toys that have withstood the test of time. We’ve even included some that will let you sneak in some educational fun as well.

Personalized wooden puzzle (shipping may vary depending on customization time)

Butterfly bubble wand (includes lights and music)

Wooden tangram puzzle set (we own this one, and my student loves to copy the designs)

Bath time popping and fizzing fun with Bath Crackles (like Pop Rocks, but put them in the tub instead)

Rocket launcher for kids (great for older kids; get two so you can challenge each other!)

Paratroopers (another classic toy, also you can squeeze in a science lesson)

Stomp rockets - Dinosaur theme (great gross-motor activity)

Flying discs (a classic toy!)

Kites of all shapes and sizes (search for a kite related to your student’s special interest)

Fidget “worm” toy (this fidget has come in handy with redirection for my student)

3D-printed miniature animals (if your student likes little trinkets and animals, this is a great bundle)

We hope these bring a smile to your student’s face!
