What to put in 30 plastic eggs

Gah! So we are doing an egg hunt in the backyard tomorrow. I bought 30 plastic eggs to hide. DH asked me what I planned on putting inside them. Uh... nothing. The girls are all getting baskets with all kinds of stuff. The eggs are for them to search for in the yard. DH thinks that's lame but, of course, has no suggestions. I don't want to put candy in them, the babies don't get to eat it and we put some in Lydia's basket. Little toys are no good because Anna puts EVERYTHING in her mouth. Is it lame to leave them empty?? If yes, I need some suggestions. Thanks!!

Re: What to put in 30 plastic eggs

  • What about stickers?  You could get a sheet and cut them up and put one sticker in each egg.  DS loves stickers so that's what came to mind as a non-food item :)

  • Stickers would be great for Lydia but Anna would just eat them and I'm not sure what Fiona would do.

    So... empty eggs are lame?

  • Grapes, raisins, teddy grahams, buy a small lego toy and put one piece in each egg, puzzle piece in each egg...that's all I've got.

  • Our Easter Bunny always puts money (mostly coins and 1 or 2 dollar bills) in the eggs but that is probably a no go with LOs who put things in their mouths. My kids LOVE putting money in their piggy banks. But they also both get really excited just to find

  • I REALLY like the Teddy Graham idea!!  Animal Crackers would work too...  The stickers would be the secondary idea...

  • Oh man, one year I put little wooden blocks from DS1's blocks in Easter eggs (he was just under two). He was pretty excited about them, in all honesty. I also do Goldfish/Aunt Annie's bunny crackers and small stickers. Or Cheeries/dry cereal.

  • DD1, both last year and this year has been more than happy to hide the empty plastic eggs over and over and over again.  DD2 on the other hand has no interest in finding eggs, regardless of what is in them.
