If you are like us, you probably attend more than one Easter Egg Hunt. All that candy can lead to some major sugar highs and melt downs. Therefore, I made a list of 25 fun things I could put in their eggs besides candy in hopes to curve some of the sugar intake.
Here's what I came up with:
- Clues (Make a little treasure/ scavenger hunt out of it. If your kids are too young to read, use pictures.)
- Homemade Coupons (Good for a trip to the Movies, to stay up 30 mins. late, etc.)
- Stickers or Tattoos
- Stamps
- Play Jewelry (Rings/ Bracelets/ Necklaces)
- Hair Clips
- Doll Clothes
- Legos
- Playmobil Pieces
- Hot Wheels Cars
- Plastic Animal Figurines
- All Natural Fruit Snacks or Dried Fruit
- Annie's Bunnies (cheddar, graham, etc.)
- Money
- Whistle
- Spinning Tops
- Silly Putty
- Mini Bubbles
- Bandz Rubber Bands
- Magic Growing Capsule Animals
- Punch Balloon
- Bouncy Balls
- Little Slinky
- Finger Puppets
- Rocks/ Marbles/ Shells
What a great list of non candy treats! I plan on filling our eggs for the hunt with no candy, so this list will come in handy for me.
ReplyDeleteBoo to candy--thanks for the list!
ReplyDeleteThis list is AWESOME! I'm putting puzzle pieces (that create a whole puzzle) as a sort of scavenger hunt!
ReplyDeleteThanks! LOVE the puzzle idea!
DeleteThis list is fantastic! I've been trying to come up with some non-candy alternatives. Thanks for all the ideas. Thanks for linking up with The Weekly Kid's Co-Op. I've featured this on my latest Kid's Co-Op link up post.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thanks!
DeleteLove the idea. Unfortunately I haven't seen eggs you can fill here in Australia :(
