35+ Things to Put in Easter Eggs Besides Candy

It’s that time of year already!  We don’t usually do Easter baskets, but I do like to do Easter Egg hunts for the girls.  I don’t mind doing a little candy (chocolate for mom is always good!), but I like to throw some non-candy items in the Easter eggs, too.  Also, if you have more than one child, a color coded Easter Egg hunt makes it easy to put age-appropriate items in each plastic egg.

Things to Put in Easter Eggs Besides Candy

I’ve used a few of these ideas during Egg hunts in the past, but I’ve thought of a few more things besides candy to add, too.  Here is a list of 35+ items you can put into plastic eggs.

Things to Put in Easter Eggs (Instead of Candy)

  1. Puzzle Pieces  – This is a fun “Puzzle Hunt” if you have a smaller puzzle and the kids can put it together after collecting all the eggs
  2. Chuck E. Cheese tokens
  3. Coins – Dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies
  4. Tiny bottles of nail polish
  5. Bracelets
  6. LEGO pieces (maybe a set to build a small toy like these?)
  7. Homemade coupons (here’s a free printable with homemade coupon ideas and here is another free printable that is cute!)
  8. Character band-aids
  9. Shopkins
  10. Bouncy balls
  11. Stickers
  12. Temporary tattoos
  13. Shoelaces
  14. Hair ties
  15. Barrettes
  16. Mini toy cars
  17. Small action figures
  18. Play-Doh (here’s a recipe for homemade playdough)
  19. Earbuds
  20. Erasers
  21. Deflated Balloons
  22. Magic Grow Capsules
  23. Fun Shoe laces
  24. Glow-in-the-Dark Stars
  25. Slips of paper with exercises – 10 pushups, 10 jumping jacks, etc. (hey, a little movement is always good, right?)
  26. Crayola Bath Dropz
  27. Small Bath Squirters
  28. Small stampers
  29. Rings
  30. Finger Puppets
