What candy/treats do you use to fill Easter eggs?

[BamaTanya]

I've got to fill plastic eggs for 2 different Easter Egg Hunts. It may be mighty warm, so I think chocolate is out (I don't want to see preschoolers trying to unwrap a melted bunny!) Besides jelly beans, what are your recommendations?

are tootsie rolls melty? mini bags of skittles? little erasers or tattoos?

by the way I don't really feel bad for you. :)Are you saying your weather is so nice you can't have chocolate???:nopity:Rub it in why don't you.

Stickers, temporary tattoes, bouncy balls, miniature containers of bubbles.

Sorry! Lol. Yes, we've already hit 80. And the humidity has begun. Mosquitoes can't be far behind. At least we're not in hurricane season yet! We'd welcome a trip north in a couple of months.

Skittles, Starburst, gum, quarters (my little guys like that one) etc... For the Skittles, I buy the ones that come in the tiny individual bags. That way, they don't all spill out in the grass when the little ones pop the eggs open.

If you ask at McDonald's, ours give out gift cards for free desserts. They are cardstock and fit into eggs.

:001_smile:Jenn mentioned McD's! ours sell a book of "free coupons" for $1 total. It has like 10 coupons for a variety of things...small fry, cookies etc.

I thought it was a bizarre suggestion of my daughter's preschool teacher but she suggested bandaids...with characters...it is actually a huge hit!!!

Stickers, we do change...I think someone else threw out that suggestion too, could find some "hard" candies if they aren't too young that it would be a choking hazard. If you have a dollar store or a party planning store you could find little inexpensive "treasures" there.....

HTH,
