Preschool Engineering Egg Hunt

It seems like there are so many opportunities to think of something small to give to a child to light up their eyes. I have written about small toys before including ideas for everything from stocking stuffers to party favors to valentines. The Easter Egg Hunt is another opportunity for discovery.

There are a lot of reasons you might not want to stuff the plastic eggs with candy. Allergies, nutrition,  and melting chocolate are all things that come to mind. So I am going to suggest that you think outside the chocolate box for the egg hunt this year and imagine what else you might put inside a plastic egg.
