The Easter eggs I’ve used in this activity were purchased for $1 from the dollar store and they have provided a lot of fun for my little one.

These eggs are bright and colorful so of course my kids were excited when I purchased them. They got a hold of them first and just found stuff to shove inside them during their pretend play together.

I realized I better do something with them first before they got destroyed, you know how boys go.

What to put in Easter eggs for toddlers?

Deciding what to fill Easter eggs with for toddlers can turn into a delightful exercise of creativity and thoughtfulness. While candies are the traditional go-to, there are numerous non-sweet alternatives that can be both fun and beneficial for their development. Stickers and temporary tattoos themed around their favorite characters bring joy without the sugar rush.

Small toys or puzzle pieces that fit inside an egg can offer a surprise element and encourage problem-solving skills. For a sensory experience, consider play dough or slime, which toddlers will love to squish and mold. Character erasers and mini crayons can spark a toddler’s artistic side, providing tools for them to express their creativity.

Lastly, incorporating educational items like letter magnets or miniature animal figures can make learning fun and interactive. Each of these fillers not only fits into the festive spirit of Easter but also caters to enhancing various aspects of a toddler’s development, making each egg open a door to discoveries and adventures.

Fun Toddler Activities with Easter Eggs

I used an empty egg carton to rest my open eggs in and then found pom poms in corresponding colors and placed them into a container. I asked my daughter what color the pom pom was and repeated it, I then asked her to put it inside the corresponding egg. She caught on pretty quickly on what to do while she learned to pronounce the colors each time she picked up another one.

Afterward, I opened up all of the eggs and then mixed them up on the table. I asked her to find the right color and she started to match them up. Again she’d ask what color the egg was that she picked up if she didn’t know.

It was good fine motor practice as well, lining up the eggs together and then clipping them so they stayed closed. It took a little bit of practice but she got the hang of it.
