If you’re anything like me, you love putting together holiday magic — but hate the ingredient lists on most of the goodies. Easter baskets especially can be a minefield of artificial dyes, high fructose corn syrup, and plastic junk. So we started curating dye-free, non-toxic basket fillers that feel festive and fun — without the sugar crash or allergy triggers.
Here’s a roundup of our favorite dye-free Easter basket ideas, including both treats and toys. Mix and match to build a basket your kids will love (and you’ll feel great about giving!).
