I love candy in Easter Eggs. But I also find that we don’t eat near as much candy as we used too. There are tons of other items you can fill your eggs with besides candy. Here is a list of things you can put in Easter Eggs to get you started. If you have other ideas, don’t hesitate to share!
Number one on my list:
MONEY- coins and bills from our “coin jar”. This teaches them to count and save for something they really want.
We fill plastic eggs with candy, coins and cash. Guess what they want most? You got it…the money! Look at Nick GO! It was so much fun watching them count up the cash this past year.
Don’t have extra coins or chase? You can find a lot of items and ideas on Amazon. I also like Oriental Trading and Party City. (Remember to you can buy individual pieces of candy for cheap there!)
