I'm going to check out our local Target and see if I can find some of these. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-chocolate-ideas-for-plastic-eggs-for-school#post-2712621 Sun, 19 Mar 2017 13:13:14 +0000 gingerbebe 2712621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Individual packages of fruit snacks fit like Annie's or Welch's. Springtime themed marshmallows (Jet Puffed has a spring themed one). Tiny boxes of Sun Maid yogurt raisins - also have them right now in Easter shades. Jelly beans. Those Tootsie fruit chews or Starburst or Skittles. Gummy bears or gummy worms. Haribo makes tiny individual bags of them. Fruit leather like stretch island brand can probably be rolled and tucked into an egg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-chocolate-ideas-for-plastic-eggs-for-school#post-2712620 Sun, 19 Mar 2017 13:11:38 +0000 bhbee 2712620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in tx and they always ask for no chocolate as it might be hot enough to melt 😬</p> <p>I try to do individually wrapped and can usually find smarties, Swedish fish and sour patch kids in tiny bags (have to sort of stuff them in). Also jelly beans, gummy bears and fruit snacks. Maybe my super target just has a big selection!</p> <p>Love the non food ones too, all parents appreciate not having to ration as much candy I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/non-chocolate-ideas-for-plastic-eggs-for-school#post-2712619 Sun, 19 Mar 2017 13:06:45 +0000 Tanjowen 2712619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: I am going to ask tomorrow because those are great ideas!

I went to the grocery store today and everything was chocolate that was small enough to fit in an egg! Except Twizzlers, so I did purchase those at least.</p> <p>Any ideas on other items to fit in the eggs? </p>
