Need ideas for Easter projects FAST plz help!

Hi there, I have always been one to send gifts to my son's class for each holiday. He is in a special education class and there are only 5 students including himself. For Christmas I made quilted stockings and stuffed them with goodies (candy, coloring books, toys, Christmas puppets, etc), Halloween I made tote/trick or treating bags (again filled with goodies), Valentines day was drawstring bags filled, etc... I am thinking of making little baskets for easter and filling them, but I am not sure yet. I have to send them to school on Friday (yes THIS Friday) but I have been so busy with craft shows the past few weekends, I haven't had time to plan anything... Any ideas for a low-to-no cost Easter gifts for the kids? TIA for any help!

instead of making baskets, what about finding a cute duck/bunny/egg shape (the silouette) and making a little bag with two pieces. For goodies, they don't really need to be 3-dimensional. Or find little pails and sew a liner. You could always sew the goodies instead of the carrier. What about sewing a little tic tac toe game, or something like that?

You could make them little bunnies and carrots, that would be cute.

Great ideas thanks!

I was panicking cuz I looked at the calendar and they are off school tomorrow so the gifts had to be delivered today! And I was in the ER all day yesterday, luckily I finished them up. I made foam baskets and stuffed them with goodies like candy and toys I had (new in package) and coloring pads, etc. I wrapped them and put a bow on them. I hope they like them. My bad though, I forgot to take pictures before I sent them! UG! Oh well... my next project is a baby shower gift (which I am almost done with)... the receipient is doing a Winnie the Pooh theme and I had 5 different Pooh materials. So I have made 2 burp clothes from each print, a bib from each, a receiving blanket from each, a diaper bag, a couple of outfits, and a diaper stacker. I am going to make a shopping cart cover and then I put together a laundry basket filled with diapers, wipes, cream, formula, cereal, and a bunch of other goodies. I wrapped it in pink tulle and tied it shut with a pretty wired ribbon bow and streamers of ribbon. Hope she likes it. After that, I have another craft show on May 5th thru the 7th, so I need to be replenishing my stock... busy busy busy!
