Fresh Ideas
With Easter around the corner, it's time to start planning your egg hunt! Why stick to the same old routine? This year, try out these 6 fun ideas for a memorable Easter egg hunt that kids of all ages can enjoy. OK, let’s hop to it!
01
Plan an energetic egg hunt
Get the kids moving and grooving with an energetic egg hunt that involves hopping, skipping, crawling, and tumbling in an indoor or outdoor setting. Older kids can dress up with bunny ears, holding baskets to help the younger kids collect treats. This will help create a fair and fun Easter egg hunting and playing field for all ages. Make it more sustainable with reusable baskets and Easter egg hunt kits. You could also consider non-chocolate treats like small toys or craft supplies.
02
Try Colour-coded treats
Create an egg-stravagant hunt with a variety of chocolate eggs and accessories in various colour themes. The colour coding also makes it fair for kids of all ages. Assign each age group a colour and hide eggs and treats in matching hues. Reusable Easter buckets or baskets to collect the eggs will make your egg hunt more sustainable.
03
Opt for non-edible treats
If you're looking to skip the sugary treats altogether this year, opt for festive non-edible surprises. Consider toys like small cars or lego, books, puzzles, or arts and crafts that promote creativity and imagination, like our chicks made from recycled egg cartons. These can be wrapped in Easter gift bags or boxes, and reused for future occasions.
04
Give Easter gratitude
Teach the kids about gratitude by baking some thank-you treats for the Easter Bunny or grandparents. Gather the kids for a baking day in preparation for the big arrival, then leave the treats, along with some carrots, out for the bunny. Make sure Bunny leaves some extra goodies for the kids in return for their work. You could also even consider the treats as an alternative to Easter eggs. Use resealable bags or containers to store the treats for future use.
05
Get into the Easter spirit with decor
Decorating the home and garden will help create a festive and inviting atmosphere for your egg hunt both indoors and out. Use Easter bunting, wreaths, or banners to set the scene and get the whole family involved in decorating. It’ll add to the fun and excitement.
06
Customise your hunt with clues
Make your egg hunt more challenging with scavenger hunt-style clues to help kids find the eggs. Create your own clues or download our printable clues, and customise the hunt to your home or garden. You can even involve the family pet for added fun (be sure to leave treats for your fur kids, too). Use recycled paper or print on both sides of the paper.
