Egg hunts are one of those Easter traditions that never lose their charm—kids racing through the yard, baskets filling up, and everyone getting a little competitive along the way. But while the hunt itself is always a hit, what’s inside those eggs can make the experience even more fun (and a lot more memorable). That’s something the Drummond family knows well. "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 jokes.
Even if your family isn't quite as competitive as Ree's, these creative Easter egg filler ideas might just bring out a little friendly rivalry. Sure, everyone loves Easter candy or chocolate bunnies, but there are 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 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!
