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:

20+ Non-Candy Easter Egg Stuffers - It's that time of year when we're filling eggs for the annual Easter Egg Hunt and we're TRYING to limit the amount of candy. Here are some great ideas for stuffing those Easter eggs with fun items that aren't candy! | Mom On Timeout 1y 1y Saved to Easter

  1. Money – dollars are good but coins are better! The coins make a fun sound inside those plastic eggs and my kids get so excited!
  2. Gift Certificates – maybe for McDonald’s or your local frozen yogurt shop
  3. Cheerios – Who doesn’t love cheerios?
  4. Trail Mix – healthy and filling!
  5. Stickers – get the kind that come on a roll and tear off – easy!
  6. Tattoos – my boys love these!
  7. Seed packets – it is Spring after all!
  8. Socks – cute Easter socks fit in the larger eggs and are fun for the kids.
  9. Raisins, craisins– sweet and don’t require any sort of refrigeration.
  10. Finger Puppets – make your own or buy some.
  11. Party size play doh – You can find these in the party section or near the rest of the Play-doh.
  12. Fish crackers – one of my boys’ all-time favorite snacks.
  13. LEGOs – buy a larger pack and split it up
  14. Tattoos – gives the kids something to do.
  15. Erasers – I picked up some cute Easter erasers at Dollar Tree.
  16. Magnets – letters for the fridge or other small magnets
  17. Grapes – cool, sweet, and yummy!
  18. Bouncy Balls – sure to get a smile!
  19. Silly Putty or Gak! – always a crowd pleaser.
  20. Gum (make sure age appropriate) – a treat for the older kids.
  21. Race cars – Matchbox or Hot Wheels fit inside eggs.
  22. Clips/rubber bands for girls – some pretty clips and/or rubber bands are a perfect Easter surprise.
  23. Marbles – (make sure age appropriate) – just don’t lose these on your lawn. Your lawn mower will NOT thank you!
  24. Chapsticks/lip gloss – for that perfect Easter smile!
  25. Nail Polish – again, make sure age appropriate
  26. Pencil toppers
  27. Rubber bugs, reptiles, and spiders
  28. Bath fizzles or bombs – change the color of the water in the tub
  29. Jewelry – necklaces, earrings, bracelets. etc.
  30. Hair ties, bows, rubber bands – perfect for little girls!
  31. What else can you think of?

    BALLOONS! Especially the ones with a rubber band on them that you can punch! My kids adore them. Also, I pick up the Valentine clearance items and stick them in the eggs. I’ve got some kazoos, rubber bracelets, lots of stickers and tattoos as well.

    Squinkies are so perfect for this and toys r us usually has special deals to look out for. I had to put all of my son’s Squinkies away for a bit until my daughter gets passed the “put everything in her mouth” stage but 2 years ago I got 3 sets of 12 for really cheap. They had them BOGO and I had a gift card for the difference.

    We are going to Disney a few days after Easter so the baskets are centered around that this year. Disney water bottles, shirts, autograph book, books and a lanyard with some pins to trade. I then got bunch of extra pins and they are going in my oldest son’s eggs. The usual items in eggs are Hotwheels, fruit snacks, Lego minifigures, Chuck E Cheese tokens, socks from Target’s Dollar Bins, and Squinkees. I seem to walk the aisles to look for little things.

    I know some mamas out there are NOT play dough fans but I saw an idea I am going to use at my egg hunt…make Kool Aid scented play dough to put in the plastic eggs.

    We did puzzle pieces one year. A few pieces in each egg, couldn’t finish the puzzle until all the eggs were found.

    What a wonderful idea, I think that I will use this for our Day Care children this Easter. Definitely will use this idea for my Grandchildren.
    Thanks.
