When it comes to filling those Easter baskets, this year, the sky is the limit. Thanks to the "miniaturize everything" trend that's taken ahold of kids' toys, pretty much anything they're into — from makeup to toys to surprise collectibles — can be found in a tiny form that fits perfectly into a plastic egg. On top of that, we're living in a golden age of plushes, with softer, more adorable stuffies coming out all the time. Put them together, and you've got one lucky crop of kids.

But which to choose? These are the best Easter gifts for kids for 2024. Some have been tested by the Good Housekeeping Institute in advance of the Good Housekeeping Best Toy Awards, which means they've been evaluated for safety and durability by experts and for the "fun factor" by kids. Others are editor's picks that fit the Easter theme and go well with what's trending with kids (and tweens and even teens). And we added a few just-for-fun best-sellers in there, too, which may not be Easter-related, but will be hits nonetheless. The only question that remains: Do you have a big enough Easter basket?

Squishmallows — those pillow/stuffed animal hybrids that kids have made a bonafide toy craze — are great for Easter gifts, since they're all vaguely egg-shaped. They come shaped like a variety of animals and food items, so you can choose their favorites, but this little lamb (named Elea) seemed appropriate for the season, as does Empressa, a pink chick that comes in her own Easter egg, or Luanne, an opossum wearing a carrot costume. Ages 3+
