Easter Buckets Add Fun to The Holiday

Try something new and different this Easter holiday when you give your kids Easter buckets instead of the traditional baskets. These buckets maintain the same seasonal flair, but are a little bit sturdier and offer more space for you to fill the bucket with candy, gifts and other stuffers and trinkets to make them smile. Discover the wide range of creative buckets available, including plush or puffy styles, high-quality painted buckets or buckets that have pom-pom and cloth details to soften them. You can even personalize them with your kids' names to make them more special. Update a beloved classic now when you shop Pottery Barn Kids for Easter buckets.

What Are Easter Buckets?

Easter buckets are similar to Easter baskets. Just like the basket has a wide mouth for you to place stuffers, the bucket has lots of interior space for goodies and comes with a handle that makes it easy for you to place out the night before and for kids to carry around the house while playing.

• Buckets are made of a different material than baskets, which are usually woven of wicker. Depending on the style you choose, your bucket may be made of a plush material or it may be painted to look like a bunny or other seasonal motif.
• Some buckets are covered in cloth, allowing you to incorporate seasonal patterns like a gingham check in a bright spring color. These buckets also have handles and may have appliqué details to enhance a whimsical look.
• Look for creative takes on buckets. Some may have handles made of bunny ears that tie together. Others may be designed to look like chicks with small wings. Some have the same floppy ears as a plush toy.
• You can also adorn your Easter buckets with liners just as you would an Easter basket. Our Easter basket liners come in a variety of colors and patterns and may sometimes be personalized with your kids' names.

Easter Traditions For Your Family

There are many fun ways for you to maintain traditions during this spring holiday. Include Easter buckets as a new tradition that kids can look forward to every year.

• Keep the buckets recognizable as baskets by filling them with the same kind of basket stuffers that you've always given them.
• Since the buckets often have more room than a basket, you can include additional Easter gifts, like toys, books or personal accessories that they can enjoy on Easter day, throughout the spring and beyond.
• Place the buckets in a specially-designated location in your home that you embellish with other Easter decor. Maybe you dress up a buffet table with everyone's buckets in a row or place them by place settings at the dining table for Easter brunch.

By personalizing and customizing your kids' Easter buckets, this year's Easter can be unique, fun and modern for everyone.
