Moms - Easter egg hunt for my 2 yr old?

Lys1011 · March 2013

Hi,

I know I'm not around much anymore, but I hope everyone is doing well! I plan to hide eggs around the house on Easter Sunday for Spencer to find. Should I put anything in them? Originally I thought the thrill of looking for the eggs would be enough, but MIL gave Spencer her Easter basket this past weekend and put some dollar bills inside the eggs, and Spencer really engjoyed opening them up and seeing something inside. Any ideas on what I can put inside the eggs?

Thanks!

Alyssa

I think either way is fine. We went to an egg hunt this weekend and there was candy in the eggs, but I know Claire's also loved just playing with the eggs themselves now that they're empty:)

I would like to avoid putting candy in them because her Easter basket has a few pieces of chocolate and marshmallow peeps. The stickers are the cereal are great ideas. She loves Cheerios and Corn Chex, so that might work. :-)

Last year I put Ikea finger puppets, little people, and Weebles inside her eggs. This year I have Cheddar bunnies, wooden magnetic letters and numbers, some Doc McStuffins play jewelry and hair clippies, I always use the big eggs since the sma
