Make This Year’s Easter Egg Hunt Extra Special!

Easter egg hunts are a time-honoured tradition, but what if you could make them even more fun and memorable? While chocolate eggs are a classic, many parents are looking for creative, sugar-free alternatives that last a little longer than the Easter weekend. Here’s an idea: miniature toy figurines—the perfect surprise to tuck inside refillable Easter eggs! These little treasures add excitement, encourage imaginative play, and create lasting memories well beyond Easter morning.

Why Choose Mini Toy Figurines for Your Easter Egg Hunt?

1. The Perfect Fit

Mini figurines are just the right size to fit inside most standard refillable Easter eggs. No melting, no mess—just pure fun!

2. A Healthier Alternative

For families who prefer to limit sugar intake or have dietary restrictions, mini figurines provide a fantastic non-edible treat option for everyone!

3. Reusable and Encourages Creativity

Rather than being eaten and forgotten, toy figurines inspire hours of storytelling and small-world play and can be collected and cherished for years. Plus, it's a great excuse to add some more figurines to your existing collection, or start new!

Best Figurines to Fill Easter Eggs

Want to create a magical egg hunt experience? Here are some top picks for Easter surprises:

• Farm Animals: Bunnies, chicks, lambs, and ducklings for a traditional Easter theme.

• Small and Baby Wildlife: Foxes, owls, squirrels and other woodland animals are perfect for nature lovers. Stick with small animals, or baby versions to fit your Easter eggs.

• Dinosaurs: Let kids ‘hatch’ their own prehistoric pals from their eggs! We have a range of eggs that already include a dinosaur toy inside for easy, ready-made fun.

• Miniature Figurine Tubes: Tubes provide a great option for Easter gifting. Buy one or two, and split up the miniature figurines for an exciting egg hunt. These smaller figurines give you more bang for your buck, fit better in smaller eggs, and are perfect for sensory play and other activities!

How to Set Up a Miniature Figurine Egg Hunt

Make your Easter egg hunt even more engaging with these fun ideas:

1. Pick the Right Eggs: Make sure they’re large enough to fit the figurines you chose while still being easy for little hands to open. Spotlight have a fantastic range with varying sizes, including a giant 15cm egg that would even fit a giraffe in it!

2. Mix & Match: Fill eggs with different types of figurines to keep the surprises exciting.

3. Add a Scavenger Hunt Element: Create clues or themes, like finding all the farm animals or searching for dinosaurs in a ‘prehistoric’ zone.

4. Incorporate Learning: Teach kids about the animals or creatures they find—where they live, what they eat, and fun facts! This will encourage children to create their own imaginative play experience in the future.
