30 Best Easter Egg Filler Ideas - What to Put in Easter Eggs

Easter is one of Ree Drummond's favorite times of year—and ours, too! Just think of all the sweet Easter treats to enjoy along with all those fun party ideas to try. And of course, there's the quality family time you'll get during Easter traditions like a delightful Easter brunch. And of all the fun, festive activities, there's no Easter activity more special than an Easter egg hunt—so many sweet memories are made while cracking open those little eggs to find prizes inside. So, why not up your game this year and pack your clutch with these creative Easter egg filler ideas?

Egg hunts are an activity the whole Drummond family gets pretty into each year. "After the baskets, we head to church, and after church, we have an egg hunt, complete with cash prizes and the occasional backyard brawl," Ree says. Even if your family isn't as creative as hers, you might need to watch out for backyard brawls with these new filler ideas. Sure, everyone loves Easter candy or chocolate bunnies, but we found options that either shake up the classics or introduce fun new prizes to the fam.

Try a couple of Easter toys like Easter-themed stamps or stickers if you want a fresh take on a traditional filler. Or go with a few mini Easter books! Looking for a prize older kids or adults will love? Egg-shaped bath bombs, pastel scrunchies, or pretty mini resin rabbits will do the trick. We've found something to make everyone a hoppy bunny this year. Plus, these fun finds will make great Easter basket stuffers, too!

Bedtime (or anytime) stories just got so much better! These finger puppets featuring an array of furry friends will be so much fun for the little ones. They might even join together to put on one big production!

These egg-shaped maracas can be hidden on their own or placed in large plastic eggs for the kids to find. We can already hear all the silly songs they're sure to make up together.
