Inside This Post: 100 best non-candy Easter Egg filler ideas to fit in plastic Easter eggs. The best non-candy easter egg filler ideas for a Easter egg hunt or Easter basket.
Easter Egg hunts are the highlight of our yearly weekend festivities, but it’s what’s inside the eggs that make the hunt even more fun and egg-cellent!
A former boss of mine also liked Easter egg hunts so much that each year she’d send everyone out of the office for coffee while she hid dozens of plastic eggs in nooks and crannies that had twenty, thirty and forty-year old adults frantically running around like little children.
Her secret? The plastic eggs were filled with special goodies like a day off work, lunch on her, $1 coins or even money. It was her annual work egg hunt that gave me the idea to stuff our easter eggs with non-candy and fun items too, and every Easter I have just as much fun stuffing them as the kids do trying to find them!
Who needs all that extra sugar anyways, and if you have children who have food allergies or dietary restrictions, this makes the festivities inclusive for everyone.
