Parents swap sugar for trending $18 Play-Doh Easter eggs — ‘This is the way to go’

Parents are paying egg-stra attention to what their kids are eating this Easter.

Of course, it’s not all that easy. With traditional candy-filled eggs everywhere, keeping sugar in check can feel like a losing battle. But, some parents think they’ve cracked the code — with a crafty, classic swapout sold exclusively on Amazon.

Play-Doh–filled Easter eggs are currently flying off shelves as a fun, sugar-free alternative. Thousands of Amazon shoppers have snapped up the colorful two-dozen set in the past month alone, with many parents raving that their kids “play with them for hours.” Besides, they’re also a win for adults. Each egg comes pre-filled and ready to roll, so there’s zero Easter prep required.

Even better? The bright Easter batch is currently marked down to just $18 ahead of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale — basically, your opportunity to check a holiday must-have off your list early.
