Easter is nearly here! Hopefully, it will bring gorgeous weather to host an annual tradition: the classic Easter egg hunt! Kids love to hunt for the eggs hidden by the Easter Bunny. Given it’s a bunny doing the hiding, it’s logical to hide the eggs outdoors in your garden and yard. If more than one family is participating in your Easter egg hunt, it can span across several yards and gardens too. Plan to hide five to ten eggs per child participating to make sure everyone gets their fair share of goodies.
Fill plastic Easter eggs with all sorts of fun treats, such as temporary tattoos, chocolates, jelly beans, small chicks, coins, and whatever else is festive and will fit inside. Fill the eggs well in advance of Easter! Tweens and teens may enjoy doing this task and also overseeing the hunt if the adults are mingling with one another.
Make sure the kids have a basket to use when finding their eggs. You can provide traditional Easter baskets and/or brightly colored plastic bowls; whichever is convenient for you will work well. If you decide to use inexpensive plastic bowls, have the kids decorate them with paint pens before finding their eggs!

Growing up in Australia egg hunts were not common and so on coming to the U.S. my first impressions were not positive. What I saw were older children rushing to gather as many eggs as they could and younger children crying because they didn’t get many eggs.
That was when I decided I would make our family egg hunts “fair”. Each child has their own color egg and that is what they look for. Once the older ones have found all of their eggs I noticed they would take the younger ones and help them to find their eggs. This family tradition has made our Easter egg hunts easy and fun for all. On those occasions when we have visitors over we just assign them their own color.
