What are you filling your toddler's Easter egg with?
I'm thinking just cheerios, craisins and maybe stickers. Although I already got her a sticker book. Lol
There are so many great ideas online but some are too old for her such as mini erasers.
-
Finger puppets?
paper crown? (make your own) -
Maybe a fruit strip, stickers, bunny crackers?
-
I got Annie's bunny grahams and fruit snacks, pretzel goldfish, stickers, raisins, and mini bubbles
-
Individually sealed fried fruits (like prunes)
-
not sure yet!
I'll probably put a few m&ms in one of her eggs though. -
@luckypenny: goldfish are a good idea! She loves goldfish but it's a rare treat for her.
-
@locavore_mama: then she will be extra excited to open them or go looking for hidden ones!
-
One will have m and ms. One will have needs. The other maybe stickers and another thinking a little train or a sugar cereal he never is allowed (apple jacks or chocolate Cheerios). One a few dollars for piggy bank.
-
For my god daughter, I got a little rabbit bath toy, finger puppets and some cute hair bows.
-
I'm lame, and just hid the empty eggs everywhere last year... At 18 months he didn't know they were supposed to have stuff! I guess I'll fill them this year...
-
What about little bath crayons? Or chalks for outside?
-
These are fab ideas! For sweet treats that aren't quite candy, maybe marshmallows or teddy Graham's?
-
Umm.... egg? I'm totally mystified by this idea of filling eggs with candy/presents.
-
@Sapphiresun: ha. A lot of people hide the plastic variety and put something in them! http://www.orientaltrading.com/holidays/easter/plastic-easter-eggs-a1-550681-1.fltr

I already bought her an Easter sticker book, but I'm not really sure what else. I was supposed to get her sandbox friendly toy cars, but we ended finding some at a flea market.
I wanted to get her a huge paper egg but have no idea what to put into it, so I think we'll just reuse a normal (6") one. But even with that, I'm stumped on what to put in it.
-
@birdofafeather: well, crap. I've seen the plastic ones before, but Easter was only ever hiding actual hard boiled eggs for the hunt. Treats just came in your Easter basket.
-
What is she in to? Can you get a puzzle and the huge plastic eggs and put a piece of the puzzle in each egg? Or just forget the eggs and get egg shaped chalk or the playdough in the eggs?
There's not one piece of candy or food in my son's basket, it's all stuff that he's into, like bath crayons, bath fizzies, a few die cast cars, bath bubbles, etc.
-
Stickers!!
If your kids are old enough, some mini-figures of their favorite things? L has some My Little Pony baby figures that would fit in an egg.
Although, I'm being a bad Aunt this year and giving my niece and nephew candy in their eggs.
-
@beaker: LOL! At LO's first Easter she was barely 1. I filled them with puffs and we hid them around the house. She was so excited when she cracked the eggs and found puffs!
-
@Sapphiresun: @looch: DH grew up with his dad hiding hard boiled eggs in the weirdest places. In a lamp instead of the light bulb, on a ceiling fan blade etc when they're older. So it's a tradition we want to continue.
But for now since she's so young we're doing plastic eggs.
-
If you're past the point where they put everything in their mouth change can be fun if they have a piggy bank. Depositing change in a bank is loads of fun with the two year old set. Crayon rocks are good too and would fit better than crayons.
-
@locavore_mama: Oh okay, I thought you just wanted fillers for eggs that go in a basket.
I was just in target, they had larger eggs, i am not sure if they were metal or paper? But they were about the size of my hand, so that increases your options for fillers.
-
Fruit snacks, Bunnie's, stickers, coins for her piggy bank (she LOVES to put money in there.)
-
Not sure what we're putting in our eggs yet but need to find some non-food fillers for DD's preschool egg hunt.
-
@Cole: YES! We spent almost an hour yesterday emptying her piggy bank and having her put the change back in, about 4-5 times (she's 20 months).
We're doing stickers and coins and maybe some food snacks (puffs, Cheerios, M&Ms, raisins).
-
We're going to put Annie's gummy bunnies in some and change in a couple of others. She loves change right now.
