At Easter, kids look forward to finding the most eggs that have the best candy. Children love the idea of Easter egg “treasure” hunts, because of the thrill of scoring a prize. As delicious as it is to eat some chocolate and jelly beans, why not change up the routine a little bit and stuff many of those eggs with still fun, but less damaging choices? Instead of hiding candy inside all the eggs, fill them with other small items such as …
- Coins
- Goldfish
- Erasers
- Stickers
- Tattoos
- Tiny toys
- Lip gloss
- Army men
- Love notes
