It is the Easter season, which means the shelves are stocked with limited edition pastel colored candies and chocolates in stores. Instead of going candy crazy, why not spring for some non-traditional low to no-cost surprises to hop their way into this years Easter eggs!  

1. A Puzzle

Place a piece of a fun, age appropriate puzzle into each egg for the child to find. Do this with more than one puzzle to double or triple the shock when the surprise is revealed. For multiple siblings, assign each child specific colored eggs to look for or a special symbol to differentiate the eggs. 

2. Play Building Bricks

Take different size and color bricks and place them in separate eggs. Even purchase a set that will make a fun sculpture once they are put together. The hardest egg to find could hold the instructions. 

3. Stickers

Who doesn't love stickers? Find stickers of that special interest character or Easter themed ones to put in the eggs. A roll of individual stickers or cutting them out of a large sheet will surely do for this fun surprise. 

4. Animals

There are buckets of little animals in the toy aisle of many stores. From dinosaurs, to farm animals, to marine creators there are sure to be some to pick up. Most of these are just the right size to place inside an egg for an Easter egg hunt. 

5. Coupons
