We already discussed Easter basket filler ideas here, so now it’s time to talk Easter egg fillers! For most, the go-to filler is candy. I prefer to stay away from candy, so I’ve come up with a handful of other ideas!
Keep in mind, some of these filler items are not safe for your littler ones, so use your judgment when filling the eggs for each child’s age.
Some of these will fit in the regular size eggs, but some you will need larger.
