Why do a Little Blue Truck-Themed Easter Basket?


So why do a themed Easter Basket? In our home by making our Easter Baskets themed, the items in the baskets were simply played with more.

Instead of little trinkets and such that ended up broken or in the junk drawer a week later, they had a few gifts that were high quality and high on their interest list.

Also, once you see how adorable this book series is you will understand why an Easter Basket full of Little Blue Truck books will be a hit!

Now I still put candy and a few fun Easter-themed gifts, but the majority of my budget is spent on quality toys or books.

Last week I wrote about why I love themed Easter Baskets in my post on Dinosaur Easter Basket Fillers & Stuffers. Check it out if you have dino-obsessed kiddos in your home.


The Little Blue Truck Easter Basket Ideas


Now let’s jump right in with all the good details to make your own DIY Easter Basket with a great truck theme.

First, there are 7 books in the Little Blue Truck series, however, two are holiday-specific: Little Blue Truck’s Halloween & the other is Little Blue Truck’s Christmas.

In my home, these still get read in the “off-season”, but if you’d prefer to skip out on reading Christmas books in May, take a look at these other options.

Good Night, Little Blue Truck

There’s a storm coming and Little Blue Truck & his friends can’t sleep with all the noise. A lesson on being brave can be learned in this adorable tale.


Little Blue Truck’s Springtime

This is an adorable lift-the-flap book full of animals and their springtime babies. Under the flaps, you’ll not only find the baby animals but focus on counting as well.


Little Blue Truck Leads the Way

Undoubtedly, this is my favorite book in the series. The Little Blue Truck finds himself in a crowded and noisy city. When traffic gets backed up, Little Blue Truck teaches everyone about taking turns. Beautiful illustrations coupled with a perfect message for children.


Little Blue Truck’s Beep-Along Book

This is the only book we don’t have in the series simply because I’m not a huge fan of books that make noise. With a title including “beep-along” the truck on this book “Beeps”.

If noisy books don’t bother you, check this one out for sure!


Little Blue Truck

Another beautifully illustrated book with a great message about friendship. This book has numerous farm animals, which comes in handy when Little Blue Truck gets stuck on the muddy farm road.


Blue Truck-Themed Gifts for Your Child’s Easter Basket


Beyond the books, there are a few other Little Blue Truck items to fill up your Easter Basket.

My personal favorite is this Little Blue Truck Soft Toy. Just look at the frog from the books driving! It’s adorable!

A few other items I’ve found that are great additions to your child’s love of the Little Blue Truck are these blue, of course, trucks.

First is the Green Toys Pick-Up Truck. It’s advertised for ages 24 months to 6 years.

The Melissa & Doug Truck Crayon set goes great with this theme.


Another fun option is this Blue Chevy Truck for children ages 3 and up.

Now, this Little Tikes Cozy Truck might be more than the average Easter Basket budget, but my boys have one and they love it, so I included it.

You could use the back part as your basket and put your books and chocolate bunny in there!


A few more Gifts for Toddlers Easter Basket


These items would also be great for adding to your Truck Easter Basket, while not necessarily truck-related, they are Easter themed!

The Crayola Palm Grasp Egg Crayons are perfect for little hands and their egg-like shape is perfect for an Easter basket.

This Sorting & Matching Egg Toy is educational and fun! These types of gifts are great for use beyond Easter as well.


Finally, these TOMY Toomies Hide & Squeak Eggs would make a great educational gift to add to a basket for older babies or toddlers.

Hopefully, you have found some great ideas for your child’s Truck Easter Basket. Don’t forget to check out our other Easter Ideas too!

      Thanks Jamie 🙂 My boys’ grandmas take care of the candy (a little too much – lol) so I try to focus on the non candy items!
