I like to save up small gifts for our egg hunt. My kids LOVE the egg hunt. It’s their favourite Easter tradition. I will hide a few chocolate eggs, but my kids go pretty wild after eating chocolate so I try to limit the amount.
Here are some non-chocolate items I put in the small and medium size eggs.

A note on buying these items – I tend to shop all year round for holidays. It helps me spread out spending, take advantage of sales and combine purchases at small shops to save on shipping. So, some of these items I bought months or even years ago. And some are small pieces that came with sets I’ve given to my kids in the past. I kept the small pieces out because I was worried they would put them in their mouth or lose them. Now, I think they’re ready to play with them. 2 gifts in 1.
I also save and reuse our plastic eggs every year. Every little bit helps.
I love hearing about other families’ traditions. Do you do an egg hunt? What do you put in the eggs?
