These are the best Easter basket fillers for 4-year old boys that you can find anywhere.  They'll work for any budget and definitely make your preschooler happy on Easter morning.

Dinosaur Eggs

These dinosaur eggs are a perfect Easter basket idea for 4-year old boys!

They can chisel away at the eggs to find dinosaur fossils inside.

It’s also fun to find egg-themed items for Easter baskets and the fact that these are also dinosaur-themed makes them the perfect Easter basket filler for preschool boys.

Paint Sticks

Paint sticks are one of the greatest art supplies for 4-year old boys!

They look like giant chunky crayons, but they’re actually made of paint, so they’re really smooth when you use them and make much more vibrant colors.

My 4-year old could not get enough of these!  I literally had to replenish them once he used them up.

These are definitely a fun Easter basket idea for 4-year old boys.

Bath Pipes

Bath time is still a lot of fun for 4-year old boys and these bath pipes are an amazing addition to their toy collection!

They can move the pipes around however they want and have a ton of fun seeing where the water will go.

This is a great and wholesome Easter basket idea for 4-year old boys that doesn’t involve batteries, bells, or whistles, but will still really excite them.

Electric Toothbrush

Teeth brushing can luckily be a lot of fun for 4-year old boys and an electric toothbrush is a really fun way to make it even MORE fun.

By the time they reach 5, they should be brushing on their own, so this is also a good way to make sure they’re getting as much brushing done as possible.

And, of course, there are some really fun kid-themed electric toothbrushes that your 4-year old will really love.  

Here are some of the most popular:

Glow Sticks  

Glow sticks are one of those little joys that is SO much fun for 4-year old boys!

It’s a great way to get their creative juices flowing and a fun toy that doesn’t involve batteries.

You can get great deals on big packs of thin glow sticks (that ones that can bend into a circle) or thick ones that don’t bend.

BOTH kinds are fun for little boys though and the packs are big enough that you could actually save some for a later date (these are great to pull out when you are desperate for a distraction!).

Scented Markers

I’m a big fan of arts and crafts and scented markers are a definite must-have for all 4-year old boys!

You already know what they’re used for, but the scents make them extra fun AND they’re washable, which is a huge bonus.

This is a classic that gets used almost every single day in my house, so don’t overlook this Easter basket idea!

Bath Dropz

These Bath Dropz are another fun addition to bath time that 4-year olds will really get a kick out of.

Each tab changes the color of the water.

If you mix and match different colors, you can watch as they transform!

This is a great way for them to experiment with color mixtures to find out what combinations create different colors.

Silly Socks

I love including socks in Easter baskets and these silly toe socks were the biggest hit for my 4-year old boy.

They’re actually really comfortable, so your little boy will enjoy putting them on and wearing them.

And you need to keep buying them socks anyways, so this is a great way to slip it into something fun.

This is definitely a great Easter basket idea for 4-year old boys!

Beach Toys

If you’re going to be heading to the beach at all this summer, then you should definitely add some fun beach toys to your 4-year old’s Easter basket!

Nothing will get them more excited for summer than beach toys and of course, while you’re at the beach, you’ll want them to have some fun things to play with.

Beach toys are easy and the classics never get old, which is great because they also don’t break the bank.

Outdoor Balls

You really can’t go wrong with a fun outdoor ball for a 4-year old boy.

Since they’re getting a little older and more active, you can opt for a ball like this one that is more firm (like a soccer ball), so it can really sustain a beating!

Plus, it’s really cute!  

And this is a great way to get your little boy outside and playing more.

Goggles

Goggles are a really fun Easter basket idea for 4-year old boys because most of them are ready to take their swimming abilities to the next level…which means they’ll really be getting wet!

Goggles make them much more likely to experiment with putting their faces in water, which is something you’ll need them to do if they’re going to learn to swim.

And since spring and summer are right around the corner, this is a great way to get your little guy excited about the warmer weather!

Easter Books for 4-Year Old Boys

Easter books are a must for 4-year old boys and they make the best Easter basket fillers.

Reading is a really big deal for preschoolers, so it’s a lot of fun to take advantage of the holidays to introduce new holiday-themed books.

And there are some really good Easter books specifically geared towards 4-year old boys.  

Here are some of the best:
