13 Toddler Easter Egg Filler Ideas

If your toddler is anything like my little guy, they LOVE candy. However, a lot of Easter candies are choking hazards or just way too much sugar for them. Here are some ideas for safe candies and other items to put inside your toddler’s Easter eggs this year!

  1. Cheerios
  2. Mini M&M’s (mixed in with the Cheerios if you like)
  3. Lucky Charms (especially the marshmallows, my little guy goes crazy for the chocolate ones and the marshmallow bits are hard and small enough that he doesn’t choke).
  4. Bite- size Milky way bars – soft & no peanuts!
  5. Stickers – always a favorite around here.
  6. Fruity Cheerios – brightly colored so it looks more like candy ;) .
  7. Hot Wheels cars (without any detachable parts)
  8. Hair barrettes/bows for girls
  9. Mini jelly beans cut in half – while my little guy would eat regular jelly beans all day, they are a big choking issue. So I get the mini ones and just slice them in half (or bite them, but for inside the eggs, a sharp knife works better ;) ).
  10. Alphabet magnets (the larger ones such as Leapfrog’s).
  11. Little squirt toys for the bath – Target has bags full of fish and other creatures that squirt water & are small enough to fit in a larger Easter egg.
  12. Animal crackers
  13. Teddy Grahams – the chocolate ones are regarded as a great treat in our house.

    I got away with cheerios for years, but Little O is four and the fake tattoos are a big hit right now!

    Smarties also work well and they don’t make a mess.

    Great list!

    Teddy Grahams! MMMM! I’d eat them all before they got into the eggs :)
