Easter celebrations don’t have to break the bank, especially if you hop over to Five Below for some budget-friendly Easter basket stuffers. They have tons of cute Spring-themed goodies and tasty little treats so you can fill up every kid’s basket without going into debt to do it.

Here are some of the best Five Below Easter picks that are cute, practical, and — most importantly — less than $3. 

Novelty Chalk 2-Pack

Colorful chalk set in the shape of a smiling yellow sun and a rainbow, packaged in a blister pack labeled "Sunshine Chalk" with a rainbow and sun design on the card. For ages 6 and up.
Five Below

$1

Big, chunky sidewalk chalk is practically an Easter basket right of passage. This package is cheap, first of all, but also super cute with a sunshine and rainbow theme. There’s also fruit, happy face, and hot dog versions. 

Springtime Easter Jumbo Coloring and Activity Book

$1

Once the kids have run off their energy outside, a jumbo activity and coloring book like this one is in order to keep them busy (and distracted from candy). You can’t go wrong with the spring chicks design.

Cadbury Cream Egg

A Cadbury Creme Egg wrapped in colorful blue, red, green, and yellow foil with the Cadbury logo visible, set against a white background.

$1.50

If you’re one of the families that can’t have Easter without gooey, sickly sweet Cadbury Cream Eggs, then here you go: Get them at Five Below for cheap.

Hello Kitty Wall Walker Toy

A Hello Kitty-themed wall walker toy in pink packaging. The toy has a central Hello Kitty face and six yellow suction cups. Text on the package reads "Hello Kitty Wall Walker." Illustration shows the toy sliding down a wall.
Five Below

$2

What’s better than a toy that you are supposed to throw at the wall?! Absolutely nothing. You might not be thrilled with these sticky toys and the danger they pose to your wall paint, but your kids will love it. 

Rainbow Plastic Slinky

A colorful plastic rainbow Slinky toy is shown standing upright with packaging that says “Slinky wow Rainbow.” The Slinky features bands of yellow, pink, blue, and green. A warning label is partially visible.
Five Below

$1

This is a classic toy. If the kids in your life haven’t had a Slinky yet, now’s the time to get one — and they’re only a dollar. Watching these things “walk” down stairs was our version of watching an iPad screen.

Amos Peelerz Eggs

A colorful package of Peelerz Eggs gummy candy featuring a cartoon bunny holding a pink egg, pastel Easter eggs, and a label indicating Berry Blast flavor with strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry flavors.
Five Below

$3

These peelable gummy candies have been all the rage for a while now. They even make Easter-themed versions, including this egg-shaped berry blast flavor, in case your kids are sick of the mango already.

Extendable Butterfly Catcher

A pink-handled net with a round, pink mesh head and a long metal pole, commonly used for catching small creatures or objects, shown on a white background.
Five Below

$2

Get those kids out of the house all summer with a butterfly net. It’s got an extendable handle, so it doesn’t take up as much space when it’s not in use. There are three different net colors to choose from.

Solid Milk Chocolate Bunny

A boxed milk chocolate bunny with detailed features and a bow, labeled "Frankford Milk Chocolate." The box is light blue with images of colorful Easter eggs and has a weight of 2.25 oz (64g).
Five Below

$2

You can’t have an Easter basket without a chocolate Easter bunny. This one is inexpensive milk chocolate, but it’s solid, not hollow, so your kids can gnaw on it for a while and it’ll take them longer to get through. 

Sour Watermelon Peeps

A package of Peeps marshmallow candies in sour watermelon flavor, showing five green chick-shaped marshmallows inside a green and pink box.
Five Below

$1.50

The other Easter classic, marshmallow Peeps, are one of those things you either love or hate. If you’re on the fence, they make some interesting flavors now, like these sour watermelon ones. If that still sounds gross, well, stick to jelly beans.

Sweet Macaron Dessert Face Sheet

Front view of a “Sweet Macaron” brightening face sheet mask package by Danielle Creations, designed to look like a yellow-green macaron, with holographic text and vitamin C mentioned on the label.
Five Below

$1

For the kids that are a little older, these beauty facemasks are fun for an impromptu spa night; you can also get a bunch for a future slumber party. They come in various sweet dessert-smelling styles and are made with aloe.

Flower Pot Ballpen

A novelty ballpoint pen shaped like a yellow flower with a pink center in a brown flowerpot, packaged in a clear plastic box labeled "Flower Pot Ballpen.
Five Below

$2

Homework might get a little more fun if they use this adorable flower pot ballpoint pen. It’s got black ink, a chunky grip for little hands, and it makes a great desk or shelf accessory. 

Disney Activity Art Set

A Disney Junior Mickey Activity Art Set featuring an activity pad, sticker rolls, crayons, and markers in a red, round package decorated with Mickey Mouse graphics.
Five Below

$3

There’s a lot jammed into this inexpensive little art set: a mini activity and coloring book, eight sticker rolls, five crayons, and five markers. It comes in four different Disney themes, including Spidey, Mickey, Minnie, and princesses.

Petal Pals Clippable Plushie

A plush toy shaped like a sunflower with a smiling face, brown center, bright yellow petals, and a soft green stem and leaves, set against a plain white background.
Five Below

$3

These little stuffed animals are cut little flowers, but the best part is that the leaves are actually a clip that you can attach to clothing or backpacks or whatever. They’d be sweet clipped onto the handle of an Easter basket.
