Where's my Easter Basket???

The kids woke up this morning, and there was no Easter baskets sitting here. Awww....poor kids.

I had set up a treasure hunt for them. They each had a simple card, which on the inside had their first "clue".
They each had four or five clues set around the house. On the outside of each clue I had put either a red, blue, or green mark so they knew for sure it was their clue.
Mr. Man had blue.
Lilly had green.
Lola had red.
The last clue they found just simply told them where their stash was!
Mr. Man's was on the washer:
Lilly's was under the bathroom sink:
Lola's was in the oven!:
This was so much fun, and really took something that would have been over with in two minutes, and made the fun of it last longer.
Below is a list of some clues I used:
My life can be measured in hours,                                           CANDLE
I serve by being devoured.
Thin, I am quick
Fat, I am slow
Wind is my foe.

I have hands that wave at you,                                                  FAN
Though I never say goodbye.
It's cool for you to be with me,
Especially when I say, "HI."
What am I? 

I have a head but never weep,                                                  BED
I have a foot but never walk,
You come to me for what you need.

I shine, I wear a hat, and have a tail.                                       LAMP

What starts with a T, ends with a T, and has T in it?         TEAPOT

What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries?                               TOWELS

You use a knife to slice my head and                                     ONIONS
weep beside me when I am dead.

I have a many legs, but cannot stand.                                    BROOM
I have a long neck, but I have no head.
I cannot walk and I cannot see
But I keep things neat and tidy as can be.

What has to be broken before it can be used?                   EGGS

What has legs but can't walk?                                                    TABLE

Your artwork shines within my glow.                                    FRIDGE
I hold other good things you know!
Your mother says to close me up—
Look up high, if you are stuck!

Boats sail the high seas in me,                                                  TUB
But not a man is lost at sea!
My shores are shiny and slick,
But my waters won’t make you sick!

It doesn't bark, it doesn't bite                                                    LOCK
but still won't let you in a house.

I look at you, you look at me,
 I raise my right, you raise your left                                         MIRROR
