What I’ll Do
Honestly, this year my toddler will most likely get a mini M&M in each egg. Maybe 2 or 3 mini M&Ms. We are in the phase of life with a toddler and a baby and sometimes it’s all you can do to just make things work. I still want to make sure I do something for him but he will most likely never remember this Easter AND he really just loves the excitement of finding the eggs (plus his little brother will not be able to keep any small trinket out of his mouth). He doesn’t get much candy day to day anyways so the little treats inside will seem like a big deal to him. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself or others to create super elaborate Easter egg hunts with amazing fillers. See if you can find a friend or two that want to chip in on the cost of a few different fillers so you can buy in bulk or just pick 2 or 3 off the list to fill your eggs. Kids just want to have fun! Make the fun about finding the eggs and not what’s in them.
