Easter Basket Essentials Every Disney Princess Should Have

Easter is right around the corner.  And if you're like me, you're probably DIYing your kids' Easter basket.  Growing up my mom loved putting together baskets that were specific to me and my siblings instead of purchasing the pre-made baskets.  She always made sure to incorporate things that we each loved.  For example, she'd always get me a new piece of heart-shaped jewelry and book because I loved hearts and reading. 

Now that I'm a mom, I'm continuing the Easter tradition that she started.  JJ is still debating on whether he wants a Thomas & Friends themed basket or Lightning McQueen.  Meanwhile, Moo knew right away that she wanted a Disney Princess themed basket.  So, we headed out to our local Walmart to see what goodies they had.  No worries, I'm making a second trip without her to pick up some surprise goodies  

Accessories

One of the things I love most about all of the Disney Princesses is that they all have brains and style.  Tiana, Belle, and Cinderella were all regular girls from poor families before they became princesses and even on their worst days, they still looked fly.  As Moo told me the other day, "It's all about the accessories, Mom!"

I have to agree that accessories can take a plain outfit up to next level.  And my little Disney Princess loves accessories.  She's absolutely obsessed with her Anna & Elsa Frozen "Sisters Forever" necklace.  The one above is currently sold out online but here's the link to a similar Frozen necklace that is available at Walmart.

 She loves these ROXO silicon charm bracelets with the interchangeable Disney charms as well.  I'm on the hunt to find Tiana, Jasmine, and Pocahontas charms.  Our Walmart only had Belle & Aurora and Rapunzel & Ariel.  Nevertheless, these charm bracelets make great gifts.  And since they're super flexible, you can easily hide them inside of Easter eggs!

Baskets

When I saw this Jumbo Plush Disney Princess Carriage Basket, I just knew I had to have it for Moo.  It's so her and it screams peak Disney Princess-ness.  We searched our store top to bottom and couldn't find it.  I was so bummed.

Of course, I tried to search for it online at other retailers as well and have had no luck with finding it.  There is a similar plastic version on Amazon, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll get my hands on the plush one for next year though.  The good news is that we did stumble across some cute Disney Princess Easter Pails instead!  (Can you guys tell who her favorite Disney Princesses are yet?) 

Books

There's no denying that Anna and Elsa are her favorite Disney Princesses.   However, in real life, she's more like Belle.  (Like mother, like daughter!)  In these last few years, reading has been one of her favorite guilty pleasures.  Reading a habit that I can definitely get behind as a parent and I don't mind adding to her book collection for almost every holiday.

Disney has so many great books in their Disney Princess series.  I've been gifting her one in her Easter baskets for the last three years.  And if I'm honest, the books are what get the most use because we read them again and again.  Also, I like to get her a fun activity/coloring book as well. 

Clothes

What better way for a Disney Princess to show off her love for her fellow Disney Princesses and her sense of style than with some with her clothing.  Duh!  Graph tees, tutu dresses, and cotton shorts sets are all great essentials to include in your princess's Easter basket.

Moo's hit a growth spurt and so none of her Disney Princess tees, tights or shorts sets fit anymore.  I'm not complaining though because I love shopping for clothes.  I'm even more excited because she actually wants to me get us some matching Disney Princess shirts!!  Y'all this is HUGE because Moo has never wanted to do the whole mommy & me matching outfits situation.   I'm going take advantage of this change of heart while it lasts!

Easter Eggs & Candy

What's an Easter basket without Easter eggs and a few sweet treats?!  So, I was really hoping to snag the Disney Princess Chocolate Egg for myself and the surprise toys eggs and the Princess Candy Flowers Carrot Bags for Moo.  But my small town Walmart wouldn't let me be great.    I need manage to find some similar ones on Amazon though. 

Toys

And of course, every Disney Princess needs her gal pals.   We got Moo this cute Disney Princess Little Kingdom Play 'n Carry Castle last year for Easter and she's been in love with ever since.  This year I picked up some more dolls to do with it.  She specifically asked for Princess Tiana, Belle, and Pocahontas.  Priced at under $5 each, I picked up some extra for her Christmas stocking!  (Shhh...that'll be our little secret and thank goodness for Walmart's site-to-store shipping!)

Another toy item that she asked for in her Easter basket was an Anna doll.  Her old Anna doll had a mishap during our move.  She's been very patient and content to play with her mini Anna doll that my mom got her a few birthdays ago but I'm going to go ahead and upgrade her back to her full-size doll.

Did y'all know that the Disney Princess Royal Shimmer Dolls are under $7!!  So of course, a new Princess Tiana doll was in order.  Oh and the movie tie-in Village Dress Belle doll that looks like Emma Watson is is only $5 y'all at select Walmart stores!!!  You do have shop instore to snag this price though.  Don't judge me but I grabbed one for myself too.

Then, we also saw these fun and cute Disney Princess Play-Doh kits.  The bigger kits were under $20 and some of the smaller kits were as low as $4.  I did check online and you get a discount for some of the bigger kits for using site-to-store shipping. 

Movies

The perfect Disney Princess Easter basket wouldn't be complete without a Disney Princess movie or two.  The first Disney Princess movie that I got Moo for her very second Easter was The Princess and the Frog.  It had just come out after her first birthday the year before and I wanted to way a little longer until I was sure some of the more dramatic parts weren't going to be too scary for her.  She ended up loving it!  I kind of wish Black Panther was out on DVD because we love Princess Shuri!


Overall, I'm really excited about all the Disney Princess stuff that we were able to find at our new local Walmart.  They had a great variety and something for every price point.  I'd definitely recommend shopping there if you're DIYing an Easter basket for your Disney Princess and don't want to break the bank putting together a really nice basket.  I can't wait for Moo to open her basket on Easter Sunday!
