What are the best Easter basket stuffers for active kids?
The best stuffers for active kids encourage outdoor play and align with their hobbies. Instead of just candy, think about items that get them moving and exploring.
For the young angler: Consider youth fishing combos, colorful lures, or a new tackle box.
For the backyard athlete: Look for new baseballs, a durable soccer ball, or fun flying discs.
For creative explorers: Sidewalk chalk, bubble wands, and kites are timeless, budget-friendly choices.
How do I choose backyard games for a smaller yard?
For smaller yards, choose games that have a compact footprint but still deliver big fun. Prioritize games that can be set up on a patio or small patch of grass.
Look for vertical games like giant tumbling towers or portable ring toss sets.
Cornhole boards are a great option as they have a defined, contained playing area.
Ladder ball sets are easy to set up, take down, and store, making them perfect for limited spaces.
I'm new to crawfish boils. What cooker should I start with?
Beginners should start with an all-in-one crawfish boiler kit. These kits are a great value and typically include the pot, basket, lid, and a propane burner, giving you everything required to get started without the guesswork. An 80-quart pot is a versatile starting size for most family gatherings.
How can I find great Easter items on a budget?
Finding value is easy at Academy. To build an amazing basket or plan a fun day without overspending, look for multi-packs of toys, browse our clearance section for hidden gems, and choose games that can be used all season long, not just for Easter.

Crawfish Cooker Comparison
Feature
Propane Boiler Kit
Turkey Fryer Kit
Best For
Large-scale crawfish, crab, or shrimp boils (2-3 sacks).
Frying turkeys, smaller boils (1 sack), and fish fries.
Capacity
60 - 120 quarts
30 - 44 quarts
Key Benefit
Maximum capacity for feeding a large crowd.
Versatility for frying, boiling, and steaming in one pot.
How big of a crawfish pot do I need?
You need approximately 1.5 to 2 quarts of pot capacity for every pound of crawfish you plan to cook. For a standard 30-40 pound sack of crawfish, an 80-quart pot is the ideal size, leaving enough room for water, crawfish, and fixings like corn and potatoes.
What are some fun non-candy Easter basket ideas?
Great non-candy Easter basket stuffers include outdoor toys that encourage activity and creativity.
Kites, bubble wands, or sidewalk chalk sets.
Sport-specific items like a new baseball glove, a decorated soccer ball, or swim goggles.
Beginner fishing gear, like a youth rod and reel combo or a small tackle box.
Is a propane or electric boiler better for outdoor cooking?
A propane boiler is better for large, traditional outdoor boils because it generates intense, immediate heat, which is necessary for big pots. An electric boiler offers more precise temperature control and can sometimes be used indoors or on a patio, but it generally lacks the power for cooking multiple sacks of crawfish.
