Easter is that time of the year again. Kids are looking forward not only to decorate the Easter eggs, but also to participate in the fun activities that take place all over the country.

The Easter Egg hunt is a very fun activity that keep kids entertained. In previous years the eggs were filled with candy and sweets. But as the rates of childhood obesity and other diseases associated with obesity increases, there are more parents, teachers and educators that want to provide different options instead of the candy.

Here are some ideas of things you can use to fill up the eggs instead of candy.

Erasers
Character Band-Aids
Socks
Stickers
Temporary tattoos
Mini Bubbles
Bouncy Balls

Other things you can use for your Easter Baskets are

Play-doh
Crayons
Chalk
Pencils
Coloring books

Yes, they might still get some candy, but at least there is plenty of healthy options available.
What are you going to be putting on your kids baskets this year?
