Easter season has a way of creeping up on us, unlike other holidays that we tend to prepare more for. Easter Sunday does not necessarily get as much anticipatory excitement as Christmas or Valentine’s Day but children expect that on that special Sunday morning, their favorite holiday rabbit has left some treats for them to hunt out.
Since the popularity of the easter bunny, kids have found joy in discovering little chocolate hares and chocolate eggs placed in baskets as makeshift nests. These days, people buy cases shaped like easter eggs and fill them up with goodies and treats that children love.
A favorite easter part-time—especially during a children’s easter party—is to hide these easter eggs outdoors and have the children scamper around to see how many they can find. The content of their easter eggs is the gifts they take home. Now, with jumbo easter eggs, easter party planners and parents can put bigger gifts and treats for the kids. And if you are planning an Easter party for both girls and boys, here are gender-neutral things to put in kids’ jumbo easter eggs.
Toys
Kids’ playtime equipment like action figures, stuffed animals, dolls, animal figurines, bouncy balls, race cars or helicopters, building blocks, and other fun things to play with are good ideas for a jumbo easter egg filler. Kids will enjoy opening their easter eggs to reveal the content inside.
Sweets and Treats
Chocolates have always been an important part of easter. “No chocolate, no Easter party!” should be a child’s watchword for every Easter event they attend. So planners, take note! Children want to find different flavors of candies and types of chocolate in their jumbo easter eggs. Mix the treats up with cookies and fruit drinks for variety.
Art Equipment and Stationeries
Both boys and girls enjoy being creative with paint and paintbrushes, plasticine, crayons, colored pencils, glitter pens, and stickers. Stationeries like pencils, rulers, erasers, and sharpeners are also good investments because children use them in school. For stationeries, choose bright colors and designs and avoid ordinary ones.
Storybooks
Books are very good gender-neutral things to put in kids’ jumbo easter packs. Storybooks are a crucial part of a child’s learning process, especially getting familiar with words and becoming more creative. Boys and girls will love receiving sets of interesting storybooks in their easter egg package.
Clothes and Accessories
One thing that children love to do is accessorize. So adding clothing accessories to a jumbo easter egg for both girls and boys will be well appreciated. You must ensure that they are unisex items and that both parties will like them. We came up with a few suggestions: sunglasses, small wallets, T-shirts, wristbands, and bracelets—like zipper bracelets or Shamballa bracelets. Bright colors that boys and girls wear like blue and lemon green are a good place to start.
Conclusion
Create more than one easter egg with each filler idea to avoid children fighting over an egg. To be even a step ahead, you might want to bulk buy many of these items and leave some out of the easter hunt game. If a child gets upset that they did not get sunglasses for instance, you can give him/her one, later.
