Easter Egg Fillers

Candy, candy and candy!  The kids enjoy finding candy in their plastic Easter eggs, however, there are so many other things they would enjoy finding in their Easter eggs as well.  Candy is great and my kids will definitely get some, but it is also fun to fill those eggs with some other fun items that they will enjoy!

Tip: When we hide plastic Easter eggs at our home, we typically assign one color to each child.  Blue to one kid, green to the other and so on.  There are some great advantages to this: 1) We can gear the items tucked into their eggs to their likes and age as 2) They each get the same number of eggs, because we fill and hide the same number of each color 3) We can make the older kid's eggs a little harder to hunt.

The list below is in no particular order of egg filler ideas!  I have tried to include items that touch different age groups and gender.
