Amazing Lego Easter Basket Ideas for Your Little Lego Enthusiast

Hey, Creative Friends! Can you believe it’s almost time for Easter again? One of my favorite parts of this holiday is creating themed Easter baskets for my son. It’s always a fun challenge to come up with something new and exciting for him to enjoy. Over the years, we’ve had everything from basketball to Paw Patrol-themed baskets.

Last year, I decided to make a Lego Easter basket for my son, and it was a huge hit! I had a blast putting it together, and he loved playing with all the Lego sets and goodies I included. So I thought it would be fun to share the process with you so that you can make one, too, if you’re looking for a creative and fun way to celebrate Easter this year.

In this blog post, I’ll go through all the details of how I made the Lego Easter basket and what favors I included. I hope it inspires you to create a unique Easter basket for your little ones. So, grab your coffee (or, in my case, a bottle of water) and prepare for some fun DIY Easter basket-making!

Materials

How to Make a DIY Lego Easter Basket

You will first need a  blue plastic bin from Dollar Tree to use as the basket.

Use a hot glue gun to glue a blue base plate on each side of the bin, making sure that it is centered vertically and horizontally.  

Glue the Building Block Tape onto the bin by following the lines that are engraved into the container. Use a pair of scissors to cut the adhesive Lego strips to the correct size.  They are self-adhesive, but it isn’t quite sticky enough, so you will need to use your glue gun to secure it.  

Use a pack of Make-It Blocks Building Blocks to spell out your child’s initial.  It should only take one package, but it could be more depending on the first letter of your child’s name.

Decorate the other 3 Plastic Base Plates with the little figurines… as many as you want!

*Note:  The Legos and Make-It Blocks are compatible, so you can use the Make-It Blocks to substitute the authentic Lego Brand.  However, there will be a substantial price difference. 

*Another Note: To make the Easter Basket look fuller, I stuffed a little newspaper at the bottom of the basket and then put a little Crinkle-Cut Paper Shreds on top.

That is how I created my super cool Lego Easter Basket!

Thanks for following along with me as I shared how to create a DIY Lego Easter basket! I had so much fun making this for my son and seeing the joy it brought him. I hope you found some inspiration and ideas to create a unique and fun Easter basket for your children, family, or friends.

Remember, you don’t have to stick to just Legos or any particular theme – get creative and add items that you know your kiddo will love. You could even involve your kids in putting together the basket and make it a fun activity for the whole family.

I’m already excited to start brainstorming for next year’s Easter basket, but for now, it’s time to enjoy this memorable holiday with my family. Thanks so much for hanging out with me, and keep coming back because you never know what I’ll create next! Happy Easter!
