Being a tween girl is such an interesting time as they still have so many characteristics of being a little girl, with the budding feelings and temptations that come with growing into a woman.

If you’ve been following me for any length of time through this blog or on instagram, then you know I’m a stickler for the “it must fit in the Easter basket” or “it must fit in the Christmas stocking” mentality so not only is this list of Easter Basket Fillers for Tween girls things my daughter actually have or had, they are also things that size wise WILL fit in your basket. Whether your daughter is more about fun and games, is creeping into the teenager life with hair care accessories or loves a good piece of room decor, check my list to get ideas for your tween girl!
Crafts, Games, and Toys
- I Know You Don’t Card Game – This is a strategy play game suggested for kids 10 and up where players take turn placing a card to try and crack the code. This game requires at least 3 players as someone is the ruler keeper for the round and you’ll definitely be playing more than one round because everyone will want to be in charge!
- Flipslide Game – Great sideline sister game to pass the time. Match the colors with rounds you can play alone or with friends. PS YES you can turn the noise off from this one!
- Phase 10 – This is a big card game in our house for the adults and kids alike! Each round players are trying to find matches or sets with colors or numbers and they’re trying to get “out” before anyone else does so they can move on.
- Moon Ball Bounce Back – We have 2 and it’s been a go to gift for ball player friends. You attached the wrist scrap, throw the ball and it bounces back to you. We have them in yellow but have also gifted the blue!
- Rubix Cube – A classic game! Both my daughters learned to solve in under a minute after watching some youtube videos.
- Instax Camera Sized Photo Album – Not made by the brand, but perfectly fits 128 photos taken with that camera! My oldest has the rainbow one.
- Water Balloons – Always fun no matter what the age! Zuru makes the smaller packages that are perfect for an Easter basket
- Speed Stacking Cups – This set has a holding stem to keep the set of 12 cups together so you can race and practice all sorts of stacking cup challenges!
- Perfectly Logical Activity Book – 100 challenging puzzles for a kid looking for a little more challenge with their off screen activity time. My 10 year old has been loving this for car rides!
- Foldology – If you have a smartie pants who loves puzzles this simple pad of puzzles is for them! Each sheet has as folding challenge to complete which definitely works even parent brains!
- Kanoodle – This is a great compact puzzle game with pieces that fit specific patterns shown on the 228 cards! We love this one especially for plane rides.
- Reverse Coloring Book – The colors are already put down on the page but you have to find the shapes and create designs using fine point pens or markers. This can be a very relaxing activity for kids who get anxious.
Personal Accessories
- Lip gloss Keychain Holder – We gifted these to friends (along with these Ultimate Friend Gift Card Holders and an Ulta gift card) for friends turning 13. The lip gloss holder comes with the white cap so you need to uncap your own lip gloss to add it onto these metal accessories. I thought the daisies were so cute!
- Welly Bandages – My oldest has a package of these in her locker as these cute bandaids are contained nicely in the tin. We’ve also gifted them to friends with a gift card as they have lots of cute designs, including glow in the dark!
- Mermaid Hair Tinsel Kit – I have a whole blog post on how to apply this fun hair accessory with beads that come with this kit that usually costs under $10. Use this for pep rallies, sports play offs, parades or holidays!
- NIKE Dri-Fit Fury Sweat-Wicking Headband – My girls love these for basketball games as they can tie tight to their head and don’t move during game play. They also come in lots of colors so we have the ones that match our team colors.
- Turkish Beach Towel – Used to be a go to gift as there are lots of color options to choose from, they’re super light weight but still get you dry, and they come in a cute bag!
- Bathing Suits and Flip Flops – Never stop gifting spring/summer clothes in their basket!
- MERRY’S Girls Cat Eye Sunglasses – These are better than the cheapy sunglasses you get at the store and have cute designs! Both my girls started in the 46 mm size and are now 49 mm.
- Clear Elastic Hair Elastics – 1500 hair ties for all the bubble braids or french braids you wanna make!
- Rechargable Personal Neck Fan – I’ve personalized and gifted more than a dozen of these so it seems that many of our teammates now have them for the hot spring and summer softball seasons! You can also bring to the beach or anyplace you need to cool off!
- Microfiber Hair Towel – My girls have used these towels for 4 years now when they get out of the shower or even sometimes at the pool! They twist up and have a button and elastic to hold in place as your hair dries.
- Crossbody Purse – If you tween girl does not yet care about the Lululemon label, this is a great knock off bag my girls have used for 3 years that’s virtually the same thing! They have the pink and purple and we’ve washed them plenty of times.
- Touchland Hand Sanitizer – These girls love the scents of these hand sanitizer containers they can throw in their lunch bag or backpack.
Miscellaneous Ideas
- Fairy Lights With Photo Clips – Both my daughters have a set of these up in their bedrooms to display up to 50 printed pictures and drawings. There’s several settings to the lights so they can be off, blink or stay on all the time.
- The 3 Minute Gratitude Journal – A daily way to track the positives of the day.
- Would You Rather Books – Great conversation starter amongst kids or even when adults are present!
- Cooling Towel – These are also something loved by teammates for the hot spring/summer tournaments or can be used at the beach! It feels great on the neck!
