Forget about those chocolate coins melting in the sun or the jelly beans getting sticky inside the plastic Easter Eggs. Here are 50 things to stuff an Easter Egg with besides candy!
I love that Easter is a day that we get to surround ourselves with friends and family. It’s another day we create memories and of course, it’s the day we host the epic family egg hunt! Every year I work hard to get creative and put things other than candy in the plastic eggs. The kids don’t need candy and I figure if I can put some healthier options inside, I’m preempting at least one temper tantrum (i.e. sugar melt down) later on in the day!
Hit up the dollar spot at Target, check out Amazon or Oriental Trading and it’s not hard to find 50 Non-Candy Easter Egg Stuffers.

Note: If you have kids of varying ages, I recommend assigning each child his/her own egg color. That way kids will get age-appropriate items and if the little ones are a bit slower, they won’t get left with just a few eggs!
