Spring is in the air, but what are in the plastic Easter eggs? Filling Easter eggs felt easier when kids were younger, not to fret though… I have the best idea for what to put in Easter eggs for teens!
To keep our teenagers engaged in the egg hunt at my house we fill our eggs with things they’ll actually be excited about finding. No pennies or small trinkets here… with these ideas your teens will be up hunting for eggs Sunday morning.

Printable Easter Egg Filler Coupons
One of my favorite things to fill the eggs with for our Easter egg hunt is coupons!
Every year and my high schoolers can’t wait to search and find their coupon eggs on Easter morning and I’m so thrilled to be sharing our printable egg coupons for teens PDF with you today.
Print your own teen egg hunt filler coupons right here.
The printable coupons are beloved in my house. They include things like – a free coffee on mom, a sleep in during school morning, a free tank of gas, as well as a blank sheet that you can write in whatever it is your own teen will love the most. These egg filler coupons are one of their favorite Easter family traditions we do.
Once you print out the sheet, all that’s left to do is to cut out the coupons and stuff your eggs.
The great thing about teens is they tend to sleep later in the morning, so get up early and hide the eggs in the toughest spots you can find.
When they find out what’s inside each of them, they’ll happily spend a solid amount of time to find each and every one.
Pro Egg Hunt Tip: This year I wrote a teens initial and expiration day on the back of each coupon before putting them in the eggs. Last year we had a couple go “missing” and this is a way to ensure siblings don’t end up with coupons that aren’t theirs.
Easter Egg Hiding Ideas
I wrote an entire post on Easter egg hunt ideas, but this is more specific to hiding of the coupons if you use those.
You can do the coupon hunt a few different ways:
- You can stuff the coupons in eggs and whoever find which ones gets those coupons
- You can print out a sheet of coupons for each kid in the family and put them in a specific color egg. Say your boy finds all the orange ones and the other kid finds the green ones or something like that.
- You can have them hide the eggs for their siblings which can be even more fun (and bonus, less work for you)!
Get ready for a new tradition your big kids will never really want to give up. The coupons can change as they get older, but hopefully the magic of a fun tradition will stay the same.
