We go overboard for our Easter Egg hunt every year. It’s fun for me and fun for the boys. We usually hide between 100-200 eggs! If I were to put candy in every egg I would have some super hyper children and some expensive dentist bills so I’ve come up with some ideas that aren’t candy and are still fun. Check out this list of Easter Egg stuffers that aren’t candy and see if some of these will work for you:
- Money – dollars are good but coins are better! The coins make a fun sound inside those plastic eggs and my kids get so excited!
- Gift Certificates – maybe for McDonald’s or your local frozen yogurt shop
- Cheerios – Who doesn’t love cheerios?
- Trail Mix – healthy and filling!
- Stickers – get the kind that come on a roll and tear off – easy!
- Tattoos – my boys love these!
- Seed packets – it is Spring after all!
- Socks – cute Easter socks fit in the larger eggs and are fun for the kids.
- Raisins, craisins– sweet and don’t require any sort of refrigeration.
- Finger Puppets – make your own or buy some.
- Party size play doh – You can find these in the party section or near the rest of the Play-doh.
- Fish crackers – one of my boys’ all-time favorite snacks.
- LEGOs – buy a larger pack and split it up
- Tattoos – gives the kids something to do.
- Erasers – I picked up some cute Easter erasers at Dollar Tree.
- Magnets – letters for the fridge or other small magnets
- Grapes – cool, sweet, and yummy!
- Bouncy Balls – sure to get a smile!
- Silly Putty or Gak! – always a crowd pleaser.
- Gum (make sure age appropriate) – a treat for the older kids.
- Race cars – Matchbox or Hot Wheels fit inside eggs.
- Clips/rubber bands for girls – some pretty clips and/or rubber bands are a perfect Easter surprise.
- Marbles – (make sure age appropriate) – just don’t lose these on your lawn. Your lawn mower will NOT thank you!
- Chapsticks/lip gloss – for that perfect Easter smile!
- Nail Polish – again, make sure age appropriate
- Pencil toppers
- Rubber bugs, reptiles, and spiders
- Bath fizzles or bombs – change the color of the water in the tub
- Jewelry – necklaces, earrings, bracelets. etc.
- Hair ties, bows, rubber bands – perfect for little girls!
- What else can you think of?

Great ideas! We already had our big egg hunt with our playgroup. I filled our eggs with stickers and fruit snacks. The moms were very grateful! Wish I had seen this post last week, though! I filled 175 eggs. A little more variety would have been nice! Next year, right?!!

Bath fizzies! For the little ones I know Target has individual packets that make their water turn colors… 🙂

My 15 month old is OBSESSED with rubber ducks and worldmarket cost plus has some really cute ones that I’m going to put in his basket and they are small enough I can put them in eggs too 🙂

I just have boys, so my ideas are boy-oriented. I found some Star Wars pencil tops (not erasers) at the store. My boys also liked Hot Wheels and rubber bugs, spiders, and reptiles when they were younger.

Love all your ideas – though my ‘Snacks’ will be so distracted by his first goldfish egg that he might just stop there!
Would love for you to link up at my Sunday Blog Hop – you might win a sweet surprise too!
