My Little Castle Peeps quilt to be exact! Lizzy House makes my favorite fabrics, so I thought it would be fun to share a quilt made out of some of her fabrics with one of you. This quilt will make a great gift for someone having a baby, or maybe you have a little one who this will be perfect for. If you don't... it also makes a great wall hanging! So do you want to know how to enter the giveaway???
Easy peasy, just leave me a comment telling me something fun you'd put into an Easter basket for a 3 year old, besides candy.
I'll choose one lucky person at random and announce the winner on Saturday the 23rd. Comments close at 9pm on Friday the 22nd. Don't forget to leave your email address in the comments so I can contact the winner. Good Luck!!! Contest is open to anyone.
For 10 extra entries blog about the giveaway, and make sure you let me know you did.
**You only need to leave 1 extra comment for the extra entries not 5 or 10, don't worry I'll add them :)

Bubbles, specifically gymboree bubbles. They are amazing and take much longer to pop. You need the starter pack for the bubble blower.
I love castle peeps and I love that quilt! I think a little Beanie Baby rabbit or chick would be good. Three year olds love carrying around those little bean bag toys.
EEEEK! I want to win! I want to win sooo badly!!!!!
I would put a live chick in the basket :) (well I probable wouldn't, but it would be cool, right?!) Or a live bunny???
I just blogged about it- should I comment 10 times?? Let me know, seriously- I will leave 9 more comments if that is the right thing to do :)
Congrats on 200 sales in Etsy!
Last year each of the boys got an empty puzzle box and a note from the "bunny" to let them know to look for a certain number of hidden eggs in the house. The eggs were filled with the pieces of the puzzles.
I've already "liked" your Facebook page. Does that count? :) Beautiful quilt!
Found you through Sara from Sara's Art House. First, congrats on 200 sales! You've got some cute stuff in there!
For the basket, I'd include some Crayola Color Bath Dropz. I think you can get them at any store like Target or Wal-Mart. My daughter loved them when she was that age.
Maybe some bath crayons too.
My son loved matchbox cars or sidewalk chalk at that age!
My first thought was bubbles, but someone beat me to that! So I guess I'll say a stuffed animal...maybe one made by his very creative mother! =)

I just liked your facebook page.
I just made my 5 year old a chalkboard placemat and she loves it!! It was so fast and easy to make that I plan on making a lot more.
Congratulations on 200 sales! what a generous gift. And i loved learning that you take evening baths to unwind. I'm a shower girl and i haven't taken a bath in years - now i'm wondering if i'm missing something!
I am putting sidewalk chalk and toothbrushes in my twin 3 yr olds' Easter baskets.
I liked you on Facebook!
I shared your link on FB does that count as a blog entry? I have way more friends on FB than see my password protected personal family blog. Let me know if this doesn't count.
lets just say 3-year old appropriate art supplies...crayons, playdoh or modeling clay, you get the idea. And puzzles (even big kids like puzzles)
I'll add it to my doodling blog and my walking blog. I think you have both links, but if anyone else wants to go its

nearly forgot BOOKS!
Beautiful quilt! I last year (when my son was 3) I put a little car (the Disney red car from the cars movie) and a golden book with his story. He loved it.
I'd put this book in there! http://www.amazon.com/Big-Picture-Story-Bible/dp/1581342772
What a great reminder about the real meaning of Easter and the illustrations and story line is very understandable for a young one.
The quilt is beautiful!
I like you on Facebook. (times 5 entries I hope =)
I would include a bottle of bubbles. All little kids seem to like bubbles. Or some sidewalk chalk - those are always a big hit. Congrats on your 200th sale. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway for the adorable quilt.
I'd pop some books about Easter, kids love reading even if just pictures. Love the quilt
I would put bubbles in an Easter basket...or maybe some sidewalk chalk/paint.

I blogged about your giveaway at http://salliessampler.blogspot.com/2011/04/jonquilsladybugs-giving-away-little.html
I always tried to find non-candy treats too. I like to give coloring books, stuffed bunnies, and Play-Doh if you can stand the mess!
Wow congratulations! I think everyone has hit on some great ideas. Bubbles, sidewalk chalk,stuffed animal but I always like to include a little book.
I'd say a coloring book and new box of crayons. Also a new book to read. The bubbles that others suggested is a good idea, too. We never did Easter baskets for our kids when they were growing up, but your post question is making me wonder if I should do something for my little grandson.
I have posted about your giveaway on my blog this morning :-)

Bubbles! Bubbles and trucks are a massive hit with my 2.5 year old, and they're totally going into his easter basket :) Perhaps some sidewalk chalk as well. Anything that involves dirt works well in my house.
Beautiful quilt, thanks for the chance!
I blogged about your giveaway: http://distantpickles.blogspot.com/2011/04/giveaway-to-die-for.html

Thanks for the give away.

Fortunetta said I would put bubbles, a small stuffed Easter Animal and a book sharing the real meaning of Easter with a 3yr old. And then of course, I would also add bubbles. Bubbles are the BEST ever for many many many smiles and laughter....
Fortunetta "liked" your FB page.

I always gave my kids a cute toothbrush for Easter. I liked to give them bubbles too. A kite would be fun.
I posted about your giveaway on my blog.
I liked you on facebook.
How about a children's bible. I think Easter is way too commercialized. Love the castles!
Great ideas! Three year olds hmm sidewalk chaulk, color books & crayons, playdough 'or make with the little one' so much fun!
I also like your facebook page!
Beautiful quilt thank you for this wonderful giveaway!
Bubbles and Silly putty were always a favorite at our house.
Congratulations on your 200 sales in your Etsy shop. Three year olds love so many things - coloring books and crayons, bubbles and bubble blowers, kites, little wind-up toys and "hop" across surfaces, kaleidoscopes, character costumes (for dress-up), the ideas are endless. dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com
What a pretty quilt. There are all kinds of small toys which work in easter baskets. Little cars and trucks. Little ponies or other little dolls (I can't keep up with all the new names). Small puzzles, colouring books, crayons, felt pens. Thanks for a chance to win.
I put a board book in the basket - I love to give books as gifts for kids. :)

I would put some real flowers maybe tulips. Thanks
bouncy balls! :)
Congrats on having over 200 sales Steph! You continue to amaze me with your creativity! Because of food allergies, I do no candy in our baskets. This year we have a variety of items. Bubbles, art supplies, books, and new sun glasses are some items Kara and Ben are getting in their baskets!
Congratulations to your successful shop. I would put a nice spring-theme pop-up book. Thanks for the giveaway.
I think some cute stickers would be a good gift! I always liked getting stickers when I was little. :)
My almost 3 year grandniece likes the bubble wands and bracelets that glow. The grandnieces love the plastic eggs with things inside them. We keep the eggs as some of the little ones like to "pretend" cook with their eggs when they visit us.
When my boys (twins) were that age we found some Tonka vehicles that were in egg shaped packages and we hid them for their easter egg hunt with the other eggs. Once they realized what they were hunting for they were so excited! Thanks for a chance to win your gorgeous quilt!
I liked your page on Facebook!! :)
Toothbrushes were always in my kids baskets, videos, bubbles, socks, and crayons.
I would put ear rings shaped like bunnies since my little 3 year old grand daughter just got her ears pierced.
Hope I am lucky. A beautiful little quilt!

This one is easy since I HAVE a three-year old! In his Easter basket will be:Baby Bop, BJ and Riff (got them at Marc's for $1.99 each)--he just LOVES Barney!
Some jelly window stickers (for some reason he just loves to move my decorations from window to window so I thought he should have one of his own. Bubbles (can't go wrong there). Paint markers (can't go wrong there either.)
Have a great Easter and enjoy the three year old. Those years go by so fast.
This is a gorgeous giveaway
Thanks for the chance
I'd include a new childrens book.

A few of my favorite Easter basket fillers: sidewalk chalk, bubbles, new crayons, coloring books, fisher price little people, books, a photo book of friends and family. Happy Easter week to you!
Legos, sidewalk chalk, fun toothbrush, hair stuff (if it's a girl), washable markers, play dough. That is a fun quilt. Becca :)
Beautiful! I love to put something crafty in, special paint or markers are extra exciting for 3 year olds.
Beautiful quilt! We are putting Pillow pets in my kids baskets as they have been asking for them FOREVER! I love that blanket and WOULD LOVE TO WIN IT!. Random please be my friend!

I just wanted to say I LOVE your quilt. I read your blog everyday! I have never won anything on a blog posting, never, ever, but I am trying and praying to turn the luck around!! If I had a 3yr old boy I would leave a warrior zhu zhu pet. It is interactive and blue/black for boy colors. I would also especially leave paint by number painting books and little peoples anything. Ofcourse I would leave fave candies but also balls and plastic sports easter eggs! Thanks for the chance to win and congrats on a wonderful blog!!

I would put some fluffy bunnyears on a headband, and some litlle toy chicks.
That quilt is lovely! What a generous giveaway. :)
Lovely, okay more than lovely, giveaway.
I love that you are looking for other things to put in a 3-year old's easter basket besides candy! I would put in simple things like colorful balls. It's always the simple things that add the most joy.
Fat sticks of colorful sidewalk chalk!
Liked you on Facebook!
I'd include a colorful kite, one of my favorite toys as a kid. Cheers!
Gorgeous quilt. If I had a 3 year old nephew...I'd put a tickle me elmo in their basket (that is because they would be taking it home to mom & dad!!!) :)
For a three year old boy I would buy Thomas the tank anything, or cars or rescue heroes!! My little boy loved all of that from the ages of 3-5. I think the quilt is fabulous and I would love to win it!

I would put edible easter grass- the kind that you can get from a craft store in the easter basket. Then I would fill it with pip squeak washable markers and stencils and paint supplies. Especially if he liked crafts. I think the quilt is so vivid with color. I would l-o-v-e to win it!!

My daughter is 18 now but I always put dried fruit and nuts and stickers in her basket.
I've blogged about your giveaway here: http://clothstitched.blogspot.com/2011/04/scrap-thingys.html
What a beautiful quilt! I would put in those fun wind-up toys. Thanks for the giveaway!
Congratulations on your success!! In our 3 year olds' baskets, we have put books, little crafty things (such as little paint by numbers, excpet not with paints, but pencils) that can be found at JoAnn Fabric or Hobby Lobby or the like. We have also put stickers and sometimes little do-dads from the Christian bookstore when they have appropriate items.
I have a three year old boy...his favorite, favorite color is orange. I'll be putting chunky cars and side-walk chalk in his Easter basket. And, my dh is an army engineer, and the symbol for engineers is castles...your quilt would be perfect for my little guy. Karen @ txsonflower(at)gmail(dot)com
Hi Steph,
Well, I'd put silly putty in my own boy's Easter basket...And for your little boy? There is an adorable set of mini-bongos (3" X 4") that I would suggest for him. They're real drums, too! Love the quilt! Congrats on 200 sales. XO
Congrats on 200 sales! I'm close to 100 so maybe i need to celebrate somehow too! ;-)
I only have a 1 year old (no easter baskets this year,I decided) but I'd think crayons, color books, (washable) markers?.... new socks? haha, I have no idea! I think I need to read everyone else's suggestions so my kid's basket doesn't suck next year! hehe
And I now follow you on FB, yay!
I think it would be good to leave some of the traditional candies like robin's eggs, peanut butter eggs, chocolate coins, and jelly beans, but I would also include a box with a note inside to begin a treasure hunt through the yard to find other Easter treats and reminders about what Easter is truly about.
I LOVE your quilt!! It's gorgeous! I would put bubble stuff...cheap and lots of fun!
Awesome quilt. I would put play dough, chaulk, bubbles, some candy-who can resist- in a Easter basket! Thanks for the chance to win. Allison at gougeonathome@charter.net
I like you on facebook. I would put a doll or stuffed animal with a matching book (a story about the animal), or some outdoor activites stuff, like bubbles, chalk, maybe a small kite, etc. Marianne
