Fun and Creative Non-Chocolate Plastic Egg Fillers

Let’s dive into a world where plastic eggs pop open to reveal treasures that’ll have your kiddos squealing with joy—and not from a sugar high. So, let’s think outside the (chocolate) box! ?✨.

1. Small Toys and Figurines

Easter doesn’t always mean chocolate. Try hiding small toys and figurines in those plastic eggs for a fun twist.

Hey, even my 10 and 11 year old nephews and nieces LOVED Hot Wheels.  So, they’re great for older kids, too.

Snag a bunch of those Pokémon figurines and stuff ’em into those plastic eggs. For the Pokémon fans in your house, finding a Pikachu or Charmander in the backyard could be the highlight of their day.

And those Littlest Pet Shop animals? They’re a perfect fit for an egg and can start a whole collection for a mini pet parade right in your living room.

Twosies are all about the surprise. Will it be a baby or its pet match? Either way, it’s sure to light up your child’s face. 

Let’s say you want to give your kids a bigger non-chocolate easter egg hunt prize?  There’s nothing that says you can’t use eggs of different sizes.  Check out these 5 inch plastic easter eggs or even these 10 inch plastic easter eggs.  Or even these cute, little, 3.5 inch plastic easter eggs with patterns.  Stuff those bad boys full of Easter themed books, multiple small toys, or bigger non chocolate gifts.   

2. Easter-Themed Stickers

This switch from chocolate to stickers isn’t just about doing something different. It’s a super cool way to make sure everyone can join in, even friends who might have food allergies or can’t have too much sugar.

Plus, imagine the fun at a craft station where the kids can show off and use their sticker treasures right after the hunt.

Unique Easter Egg Hunt Concepts (Non-Chocolate, Of Course!)

Let’s shake things up a bit! Ever think about turning your backyard into an Easter version of “A Carnival Movie” or the set of “Survivor”? 

Well, stash away that chocolate because I’m about to spill some egg-citing secrets on totally unique Easter hunt concepts that’ll have your kids buzzing more than a sugar rush ever could.

12. Redemption Items

Steps away from the chocolate overload by turning your Easter egg hunt into a mini adventure park of redemption items.  

• Prize Booth Magic: Hide tokens in your eggs and set up a prize booth. Kids can trade their tokens for bigger toys or books.
• Unlock the Treasure Chest: Add a sprinkle of pirate adventure by hiding special ‘golden eggs’. These aren’t just any eggs; they’re the keys to a treasure chest brimming with wonders. You could fill it with anything from exciting Lego sets that promise hours of building fun, to adorable plush toys that’ll become their next bedtime buddy.
• Collect to Win: Spice things up by making each token a piece of a larger puzzle. Think of it as a mini scavenger hunt within the hunt, where each token is a clue to a category of prizes. This way, they’re not just hunting eggs; they’re on a mission to collect all the pieces of the sports puzzle or the art supply treasure map.
• Wish Coupons: Small pieces of paper inside each egg can have written wishes or activities they can redeem later. Stuff like extra screen time or choosing dinner—that’ll get them excited!
• Money Matters: For a touch of real-world excitement, why not mix in some financial fun by hiding coins in the eggs? It’s a great way for older kids to learn about saving and even encourage a little math as they add up their findings. Plus, who doesn’t love a little cash?
• Goal-Oriented Fun: Set up challenges where each egg contributes points towards a grand prize. This could be anything from the latest video game to a new bike—something that’ll really get them moving and motivated.
• Charity Choice: Include notes promising donations to their favorite charity for every token found. It teaches compassion while keeping spirits high.

Redemption Item	Pros	Cons
Prize Booth	Encourages choice and trade skills.	Requires more preparation.
Treasure Chest	Offers a grand prize, adds adventure.	Might overshadow smaller prizes.
Collect to Win	Adds fun challenge, encourages teamwork.	Could be confusing for younger kids.
Wish Coupons	Personalizes rewards, easy to prepare.	Not a physical prize, might disappoint some.
Money Matters	Teaches financial literacy.	Value might not be apparent to younger kids.
Goal-Oriented	Motivates with a big reward.	Focuses on one big prize, might reduce excitement for smaller finds.
Charity Choice	Instills values of giving.	Concept might be hard for very young kids to grasp.

1. Balance is Key: Mix up the types of redemption items to cater to different ages and interests. This way, every child finds something that excites them.
2. Clear Rules: Before the hunt begins, make sure everyone understands how the redemption items work. A little explanation can go a long way in preventing confusion and ensuring fun for all.
3. Creative Presentation: Make your prize booth or treasure chest as enticing as possible. Decorations, colorful signs, and a bit of theatrics can add so much to the experience.

13. Tokens

If you’re thinking of shaking up your usual chocolate-filled Easter egg hunt this year, may I suggest fun little tokens instead? The kids get super into collecting them and then “cashing out” their haul for prizes.

The Token Lowdown

Tokens are kind of like arcade tickets meets cash money. Just slip colorful plastic coins, custom wood chips, gold nugget candies – whatever you dream up! – inside plastic eggs rather than the typical candy treats.

Then set up a little token booth where the kiddos can trade in their tokens from the hunt to claim toys, games, experiences, and other rewards.

Token Tips & Tricks

• Go wild with lots of token colors and assign point values to each. Red = 1 point, Blue = 5 points, Silver = 10 points. This makes the hunting part more exciting not knowing what each egg holds!
• Offer small prizes for just a few tokens, medium prizes for, say, 25 tokens, and blowout mega-prizes for 50+ tokens. Comic books, art supplies, and fidgets make good smalls. Mediums could be board games, stuffies, or sporting goods. Megas? How about gift cards, video games, or fancy toys?
• Hide a couple dozen eggs with “golden tickets” that are good for picking any prize right off the bat, no token trading required. Watch those kids scramble!
• If they don’t spend all their tokens, let them save up year-to-year for big ticket items like a bike or tablet.
• Get the whole family involved! Aunt Sue can donate prizes. Grandpa can build the token booth. Parents can hide the eggs.
• Use plastic coins, foreign coins, arcade tokens, or wooden nickels to make it really feel like kids are winning and trading real money!

The Token Trade-Off

Pros	Cons
Promotes physical activity hunting those eggs!	Can generate lots of plastic waste from eggs and tokens
Lets kids budget tokens for prizes they really want	Token booths require some DIY effort
Less sugar than chocolate treats!	Tokens can get lost between hunts if saved
Prizes can align more with kids’ interests	Less universally beloved than chocolate eggs

14. Golden Ticket

Hide a single golden ticket in one of those plastic eggs and watch the kiddos come unglued trying to track it down!

When found, each golden ticket can score your li’l bunny a sweet personal prize like a mommy-and-me day or extra iPad time.

Make the reward small but super meaningful to each child. Maybe Lucas gets a Pokémon playdate with Dad. Zoe gets to bake cookies with Grandma. You get the gist!

And don’t just shove that ticket anywhere—really challenge ’em and conceal it well. In the back of the closet, at the bottom of the toy bin, wedged in the egg carton in the fridge…get creative.

The harder the hunt, the greater the glory.

When the lucky finder finally spots their grail, go bananas celebrating!

More Golden Ticket Perks & Pointers

• Make each ticket double as an IOU they can cash in anytime for their special prize
• If you’ve got several kids hunting, throw in multiple tickets so no one feels left out.
• Instead of candy, have the tickets represent experiences like a trip for ice cream or night camping in the yard
• If you’re building up the hype beforehand, create mini “entry tickets” they have to collect just to join the big hunt!
• Tickets can even become family heirlooms passed down and personalized year-to-year.

15. Truth or Dare

Shake up the egg hunt by filling those plastic eggs with some saucy truth or dare slips (instead of chocolate). I’m telling you, it’ll take the holiday fun to a whole new level!

How It Works

Easy peasy! Just write down some PG truth questions or zany dares on strips of paper.

Example truths: “What’s your biggest fear?” or “Who’s your secret crush?” Dares can include things like “Dance like a chicken for 30 seconds!” or “Sing ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars’ backwards!”

Pop those slips into plastic eggs (along with some non-chocolate rewards or treats), scatter ’em around the yard, and let the kids go hunting! The kids collect all of their eggs.

After the hunt, the fun really begins.  The kids circle up, open their eggs, read their slips, and have to choose: Truth or Dare!  Little guys might need help reading their options.

Ideas & Extras

• Make some eggs “golden” with an epic truth or dare inside – maybe something parents have to do too!
• Give rewards like stickers or temporary tattoos when dares are completed. Kids eat that stuff up!
• Snap pics of the kids doing their dares for some prime blackmail material down the road ?
• Stuff the eggs the night before and hide them as the kiddos wake up for a high-energy Easter morning.
