LEGOs
You don’t have to try to stuff a whole LEGO kit into the eggs. Instead, buy a larger pack that’s not part of a specific set, like this one, and place a few pieces into each egg for a fun Easter gift.
Flower seeds
Planting season will be right around the corner. You can roll up or fold seed packets to fit inside the eggs for a unique Easter gift, which means the egg-seeker will be able to properly plant the seeds later because they’ll have the directions.
