Easter is a season overflowing with joy—not because of chocolate eggs or fluffy bunnies, but because of the empty tomb and our Risen Savior! As Christian homeschoolers, we cherish opportunities to keep Christ at the center of every celebration. And yes, that includes the Easter basket.
If you’re looking for a fun, meaningful way to fill your children’s baskets with more than just sugar this year, try using these Easter Basket Treats That Celebrate Jesus. Each one points little hearts to big truths about Jesus!
Even better? These treats aren’t just for your family—they’re a fun, easy way to share the good news with friends, neighbors, and co-op buddies. Pair each treat with a Scripture tag, and you’ve got a sweet little evangelism tool wrapped in love.
A Quick Note About “Easter”
I know the term “Easter”—and things like baskets or bunnies—can stir mixed feelings among some Christian families. In our home, we fully recognize this season for what it truly is: the Resurrection Day of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
We don’t follow cultural traditions like Easter bunnies or egg hunts as symbolic rituals, but we do have a couple of adorable pet rabbits we love!
At the heart of it all, this season is 100% about Christ—His sacrifice, His victory, and the empty tomb. These fun treat tags are simply one more way we choose to celebrate the truth of the Resurrection and share it joyfully with our children and community.
Alrighty then! Let’s get to the Easter basket treats that celebrate Jesus!
Tell All Your Peeps!
“Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead.” – Matthew 28:7 (ESV)
Jesus is alive! That news is too good to keep to ourselves! Encourage your kids to be bold about sharing the gospel.
This treat uses Peeps Marshmallows with the added tag that says:
“Jesus Has Risen. Tell All Your Peeps!”
The Stone Was Rolled Away
“And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large.” – Mark 16:4 (ESV)
Rolo candy make a great visual for the stone that was rolled away from the tomb. This treat uses Rolo Chocolates, with a tag that says: “The Stone Was Rolo-ed Away! He Has Risen!”
No Bunny Loves You More
“But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8 (ESV)
This one’s punny and powerful. Make mini s’mores kits and attach a tag that reads:
“No Bunny Loves You S’more Than Jesus!”
A Sweet Reason
“We love because he first loved us.” – 1 John 4:19 (ESV)
Jesus is the sweetest reason we celebrate Easter, and He is the reason behind everything we do!
Using Riesen Chewy Chocolate Caramels, tag it with: “A Sweet Riesen To Celebrate. Happy Resurrection Day!”
