23 Awesome Surprises To Hide Inside Easter Eggs

Open up a Lego set (one with fewer pieces will work best), divide up the pieces among eggs of the same color, and hide around the house (or outside!).

Your kid will thank you for color coding later when she tries to build the set.

Same idea as above but be sure the pieces are small enough to fit inside the eggs without bending. Nobody likes bent puzzle pieces. Nobody.

(If you're really crafty, make your own puzzle. Here's how.)

An Easter staple. Starburst, Jolly Rancher, and Jelly Belly are choice.

Matchbox cars work, too.

Bugs, spiders, and other animals work too.

They're awesome.

Clips, scrunchies, rings, earrings, and bracelets.
