These crochet Easter animal stuffies are perfect for non-candy gifts to put in your little’s Easter basket this year!

Aren’t these just the cutest?! I made a few chicks (without the flower crown) last year for my son’s Easter basket, and about a month ago I made the bunny pattern (which is basically the chick but with bunny ears!)
The unicorn I made just a few days ago to make a cute little set to send along to my niece for Easter! It’s the same base as the chick and bunny, I just had to add the horn and ears to make it an adorable unicorn. 🙂
All of these unique non-food Easter basket ideas have the option to put in a shaker! It’s pretty simple: add some rice or beans to a small plastic Easter egg and put it inside with the stuffing!
It’s a great little noise maker for toddlers or you can opt to leave it out for just a cute little stuffie!
In addition, you can leave out the flower crowns and they will be suitable for little boy’s baskets!

A Word of Caution
I would like to caution when making these, depending on the yarn you use they may come out bigger than expected. I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice for all of them and they came out to about 4-5″.
Using something like Red Heart or I Love This Yarn! may result in a much bigger animal. If you prefer that, great! If you would rather have something on the smaller side, I suggest using a smaller hook size if you go with a worsted weight yarn that is not Vanna’s Choice.
I hope these little toys will make your littles smile and that they love finding these little toys in their Easter baskets!
Nice setup with really a classy look. Some time ago I was looking for such an event too, which will be in my budget and the one that is appreciated by all. During my search I found these New York venues and got fully satisfied and I am very much impressed by their settings and helping environment.
