We go overboard for our Easter Egg hunt every year. It’s fun for me and fun for the boys. We usually hide between 100-200 eggs! If I were to put candy in every egg I would have some super hyper children and some expensive dentist bills so I’ve come up with some ideas that aren’t candy and are still fun. Check out this list of Easter Egg stuffers that aren’t candy and see if some of these will work for you:
- Money – dollars are good but coins are better! The coins make a fun sound inside those plastic eggs and my kids get so excited!
- Gift Certificates – maybe for McDonald’s or your local frozen yogurt shop
- Cheerios – Who doesn’t love cheerios?
- Trail Mix – healthy and filling!
- Stickers – get the kind that come on a roll and tear off – easy!
- Tattoos – my boys love these!
- Seed packets – it is Spring after all!
- Socks – cute Easter socks fit in the larger eggs and are fun for the kids.
- Raisins, craisins– sweet and don’t require any sort of refrigeration.
- Finger Puppets – make your own or buy some.
- Party size play doh – You can find these in the party section or near the rest of the Play-doh.
- Fish crackers – one of my boys’ all-time favorite snacks.
- LEGOs – buy a larger pack and split it up
- Tattoos – gives the kids something to do.
- Erasers – I picked up some cute Easter erasers at Dollar Tree.
- Magnets – letters for the fridge or other small magnets
- Grapes – cool, sweet, and yummy!
- Bouncy Balls – sure to get a smile!
- Silly Putty or Gak! – always a crowd pleaser.
- Gum (make sure age appropriate) – a treat for the older kids.
- Race cars – Matchbox or Hot Wheels fit inside eggs.
- Clips/rubber bands for girls – some pretty clips and/or rubber bands are a perfect Easter surprise.
- Marbles – (make sure age appropriate) – just don’t lose these on your lawn. Your lawn mower will NOT thank you!
- Chapsticks/lip gloss – for that perfect Easter smile!
- Nail Polish – again, make sure age appropriate
- Pencil toppers
- Rubber bugs, reptiles, and spiders
- Bath fizzles or bombs – change the color of the water in the tub
- Jewelry – necklaces, earrings, bracelets. etc.
- Hair ties, bows, rubber bands – perfect for little girls!
- What else can you think of?

We’re putting an empty puzzle box in the basket this year, with the pieces in the plastic eggs. Kiddo has to hunt for all the eggs to get the pieces to complete the puzzle!

I love the puzzle pieces idea. Awesome!

Coming from tatertots and jello. Love these ideas. My kids are still little and I’ve been trying to think of good ideas of different things. We used to just do matchbox cars for my son, but he has enough of those now. Thanks for the list!

I have a basket filled with items , such as little gifts from the dollar store, I wrap each gift and then put a number on it. each egg has a number inside that matches the gift in the basket. this year I added a gift card from the dollar store. every little one likes to go to the dollar store.

Great idea!! My son has Type 1 Diabetes. Easter and Halloween are VERY difficult holidays for us. I’m ALWAYS looking for new and creative ideas. Thank you!!!!

What great ideas! When my kids were little I used to fill their eggs with fruit snacks and cheerios and toys but somehow it’s turned into an overload of candy! I think I need to get back to nonfood goodness. Thanks for the inspiration!
Warm wishes, Brittany

Great ideas. I’m trying to always look for ways to cut down on the sugar. Thanks.
Anna-Leigh McClelland says
Those are some great ideas! My little one is currently obsessed with chapstick, so I think the Easter bunny might leave some of that in her eggs 😉
