Small coins in most but then 1 egg with each kids name that would have more, like $1 for little kids, $5 when they got older. I think now that her kids are grown ups and she hides a $50 egg for each kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-candy-easter-egg-fillers#post-2119371 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 08:31:32 +0000 MamaCate 2119371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hair bows<br /> Hair clips<br /> Socks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-candy-easter-egg-fillers#post-2119370 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 08:31:32 +0000 looch 2119370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can do puzzle pieces, duplo pieces, stuff like that, if you get the larger eggs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-candy-easter-egg-fillers#post-2119364 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 08:29:29 +0000 SeptMomma12 2119364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're doing goldfish.

Sometimes my parents would hide "special" eggs with our names on them. They would have 5 or even 10 dollar bills in them. OMG. It was like heaven dropped money from the sky. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-candy-easter-egg-fillers#post-2119356 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 08:27:02 +0000 Smurfette 2119356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: we never fill the eggs on the egg hunt at my parents house. The candy would melt cause they are hidden before church and found after church. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-candy-easter-egg-fillers#post-2119290 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 08:05:39 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2119290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Plastic finger rings<br /> Small rubber balls<br /> Erasers<br /> Bracelets<br /> Barettes<br /> Small inkpad &amp; stamp </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-candy-easter-egg-fillers#post-2119277 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 08:02:27 +0000 Bao 2119277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: yeah that's my thing, small plastic things usually end up in the trash! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-candy-easter-egg-fillers#post-2119265 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 07:57:50 +0000 petunia354 2119265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are doing coins this year, DS looooves putting them into his piggy bank. Stickers are a great idea too! I probably won't do any loose food because then it'll just get messy, lol.</p> <p>I'm a little wary of just filling them to fill them so we might leave some of them empty. I don't want to fill them with junk that's just going to annoy me and cause clutter later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-candy-easter-egg-fillers#post-2119264 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 07:57:29 +0000 photojane 2119264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bubbles, tattoos, play jewelery, socks (there are currently some cute bunny ones in Target's one spot), small plastic toys (animals, dinosaurs), silly putty/slime, Hot Wheels. Target's one spot and the dollar store are good places to look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-candy-easter-egg-fillers#post-2119259 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 07:53:03 +0000 creativemomma15 2119259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom has put yogurt melts or puffs in them when DS was younger. I was going to say stickers too. My MIL does coins for the older kids.

I can't remember if we even put anything in them in the past, maybe crackers if anything. I am looking for some ideas of what I could put in them that's not candy since they will get a little candy in their baskets. I was thinking maybe stickers, any other ideas? </p>
