Non-Candy Easter Egg Fillers

How big a toy can fit into an Easter egg?

Before deciding what non-candy Easter egg fillers you are going to buy, you’ll have to determine what size Easter eggs you’ll be using. 

Most (if not all of these ideas) will fit into a normal sized Easter egg but you’ll have even more options to fill your Easter eggs if you grab some other Easter egg sizes. 

Standard Size Easter Eggs– Most standard Easter eggs come in somewhere around 2 1/4 inches. 

Large Easter Eggs- At just over 3 inches tall, these eggs are the perfect size to fit those things that are just a tiny bit too big for a standard Easter egg. Plus, these are insanely affordable.

Jumbo Egg w/ Handle- These Easter eggs truly are jumbo at 10 inches tall and 7 inches wide. This thing would be a great option to hide a larger gift or a fun alternative to an Easter basket.

More Ideas in the Shape of an Egg

Save a little money with these ideas since no plastic egg is necessary! These are already in the shape of an egg and ready to go.

Hatchimals- You probably were expecting this one. Hatchimals are a great option if you are wanting an egg shaped toy. 

Dinosaur Excavation Egg– Why get them tons of little eggs, when you can get them one giant egg filled with 12 different dinosaurs!

Egg Shaped Stamps– These stamps make for super easy crafts for weeks after Easter. 

Slime- These slime filled eggs are ready to go for Easter morning.

Kinetic sand Eggs– Kinetic sand is the absolute best quiet time toy for toddlers. My three year old played with his kinetic sand for over two hours the other day. 

Egg splatting Toy– These things are great to borrow from your kids on the stressful days. 

Egg shaped playdough– Since playdough is always drying out or getting mixed, new play dough is always a good idea. 

Egg shaped chalk– This egg shaped chalk even comes in an egg carton holder!

Shape color matching eggs– We just got a set of these for our daughter and she is OBSESSED.

Budget Friendly Alternative Ideas

If you are on a tight budget this year, the Easter egg hunt might be the easiest place to cut your Easter budget down. If you want to cut the cost of the egg hunt without actually cutting out the egg hunt, try putting clues in each egg leading your kids to their Easter basket. If you have more than one child, give each child a specific color. 

Another great opetion to spend less on your egg hunt is to pick a gift with a lot of little pieces. This can be a puzzle, a lego kit, a multi piece toy, etc. Then separate all the pieces into the eggs. This way, you are buying one gift instead of a bunch of little ones.
