I’m not a huge fan of candy so when my son’s preschool teacher asked this homeroom mom if we would consider doing Easter Egg fillers WITHOUT CANDY for the class egg hunt, I was thrilled! What mom would say no to non-candy Easter egg fillers?

Oh such wonderful ideas! I love how you decorated the eggs into the animals! So cute!
I love all those ideas to avoid the sugar overload. Those finger puppets are adorable.
Those are all fantastic ideas! My boys would love the whistles and bouncy balls!
Awesome list of ideas! My kids get enough sugar.
What cute ideas! I always loved getting little toys or stickers in my Easter basket when I was a kid. 🙂
Great ideas! I try to go as light on the candy as possible, though I do still add some in. Little toys and trinkets are so much better, though. Love those animal eggs!
These are some really creative and cute ideas!
Mind if I steal these ideas for my kids? I am going to make those animal eggs too! So cute – thank you 🙂
I would use erasers, loom band elastics, necklaces, and maybe Little Critters babies.
Such cute ideas!! I love those little finger puppets!
I really like this list! I do not like giving my kids so much candy. I usually end up throwing so much away!
So many awesome ideas! I like the puzzle idea – maybe put a few pieces in each egg and then put the puzzle together at the end!
Great ideas! I always try to make a mostly non-candy basket so this will come in handy.
I love those little finger puppets! Great ideas
Thanks for the great ideas! My daughter will be 11 months on Easter, so I definitely need to find things other than candy to fill her basket this year.
I love the idea of filling baskets with non-candy items.
These are some fun ideas listed here. We always try to fill up Easter baskets with items like the ones you listed. Now I have some more ideas on what to add to my nieces basket.
Oh my goodness, you sound just like me. I always fill the baskets with fun things that do not include candy. We also like to include coloring books, new crayons (since they tend to break the ones they have) and colored pencils…
I plan on doing very little candy in the basket this year!
Those finger puppets are awesome! I love those!
LOVE the Easter story puppets. I tend not to go overboard at Easter because the real meaning of Easter gets water down and that ‘s not what it’s all about. We do Easter eggs too but like you I find fun things and less candy!
Lots of fun,non-candy ideas. Things tat I would have never thought of.
Thanks for this, Lord knows the kids are still on a sugar high from Valentine’s Day.
This is a great list of candy free ideas to cut out some of the sugar.
I love all of your ideas. I normally probably put too much candy and love all these non-candy ideas.
These are great ideas. We’ve always tried not to include too much candy in their baskets.
Great list! I’ve also bought the slightly larger eggs to fit matchbox cars in.
You just gave me lots of ideas, thank you. Fun to fill for my nephew to take to his kindergarten class
Great ideas! Too much candy is a bad idea for all involved. Love the different options.
I love these ideas! Our kids already get way too much candy in the basket, no need for them to be in the eggs too.
Such great ideas. One year we were REALLY poor and we did a scavenger hunt with penny filled eggs. The kids LOVED it.
Great ideas, I was looking for some fun things to do with the boychild.
Really, really like those “mini-pails!”
