Easter Egg Alternative

This year all of the Easter festives are going to be a bit of a challenge for us. Our church has an annual Easter egg hunt, only they don't hunt for eggs they hunt for candy. Then there's the Easter egg hunt his class is doing tonight. The biggest problem is that Christopher Can't have the candy because he is allergic, and Hailey just doesn't need it, and it's not fair for her to get it and not him. This has not been a problem for me since we don't give out candy in our home. But for the other people that want to include Christopher, they have had a hard time thinking of what to give him that is not candy, plus they give him something different and everyone else still get's candy. It's really hard for him. This got me thinking. Why does it always have to be candy? It's not good for our kids anyways. So here are a few Easter prize alternatives I have come up with. These items can be found at Wal-mart, Target, Dollar Tree, Mighty Dollar and family dollar, and Oriental Trading.

Erasers
Pincils
Mini Yo Yo's
Whistles
Stickers
Toy cars
Board Books
Bracelets
Mini Sticky Bunnies
Bouncy Balls
“Jesus Is The Light” Mini Flashlight Key Chains
Easter Themed Sticky Notes
Rubber Duckies
Mini Easter Beach Balls
Easter Spin Tops
Easter Slide Puzzles
Light-Up Cross Necklaces

I'm sure there is more. If you can think of any leave it in my comments box.
