50 ways to please an egg hunt lover

 

Colorful easter eggs

 

As a kid, I loved Easter egg hunts.

Running around outside in the early spring weather, or inside if it was rainy spring weather, hunting for brightly colored eggs was always exciting.

On Easter morning, the bunny always stuffed my eggs with some chocolate and special treats, but the egg hunts were all about who could gather the most — bragging rights were very important, as most of the time those eggs were empty.

However, if you’re hosting an egg hunt and want to add a few surprises, here’s a list of 50 fun egg fillers that cost less than $5.
