We put goodies inside plastic eggs and hide them. Our kids will find a few eggs with candy inside, but the vast majority of the eggs will contain Legos. A couple will have hotwheels. There wil be a smattering of stickers.

This does several good things.

1) Legos and hotwheels are shared toys, so the whole sharing concept is reinforced
2) fulfills their (peer-created) expectation for candy, but keeps the sugar-fueled freakout to a minimum
3) provides gifts that last longer than a chocolate bunny.

Since my daughter is diabetic, I, long ago, had to figure out what to do for her easter basket.......legos have always been a mainstay.....in fact its the only time of year she gets them

That's an awesome idea clavus. Kids get enough sweets (at least here in the US) as it is. Very creative
