35 Non-Candy Easter Egg Fillers Your Kids Will Love
Easter is such a fun holiday for kids, isn’t it? In this blog post, 35 Easter Egg Fillers Your Kids Will Love: That Aren’t Candy!, I’ll be going over ideas that you can use to fill Easter eggs, without giving your kids a sugar crash.
I’m basically one of those moms who won’t buy food items that contain red-40 or dyes while eating a pack of Oreos. I’m not super strict, but I don’t buy candy for my kids. They can have lollipops here and there, and some candy on Halloween or when they’re with their friends.
Other than that, I try to keep it healthy at home. This doesn’t mean we don’t indulge in cakes and sweets now and then! My kids LOVE to bake with me.
Anyway, Easter eggs don’t have to be filled with junk and candy. My kids would probably prefer if they had something to play with rather than a quick piece of candy.
The Benefits of Non-Candy Easter Egg Fillers
We can all do what we want as parents, and if you want to give your kids candy, then do it! For the one’s who don’t, there are tons of options for Easter egg fillers your kids will love, that aren’t candy!
Using other fillers will help promote your child’s creativity while reducing their sugar intake. Additionally, non-candy Easter egg fillers can be more inclusive for children with dietary restrictions or allergies, ensuring that everyone can participate in the Easter-egg hunt.
By opting for non-candy fillers, parents can create a more diverse and enjoyable experience for their kids while promoting healthier options.

My kids are all grown now but when they were younger I sometimes went the non-candy route. The coupons were a hit with my kids as well.
