5 Ideas To Elevate Your Easter Egg Hunt

With Easter around the corner, 041parenting columnist Luchae Williams has some fun ideas to turn your Easter egg hunt into the talk of the town – or at least the lounge.

We love celebrating Easter as a family as it’s one of our favorite holidays and a fun Easter Egg Hunt will definitely help to keep the kids busy and happy.

1. Scavenger Hunt

While hunting for Easter eggs is what an Easter egg hunt should be about, you could totes up the entertainment factor a notch by turning the Easter hunt into a scavenger hunt. On a map, list a bunch of items (in your garden, or home) for your kids to find. Of course, we give prizes for each item retrieved.

2. Sho’t Left

Include some fun little side activities that include things like ‘egg and spoon’ races and ‘complete the puzzle’ challenges. These stations can be set up in your yard within the vicinity of the Easter egg hunt and you can offer the kids a prize once they’ve completed the game.

3. Plant the clues

Planting little clues that will lead the curious explorers from one nook to another is also a great way to keep the kids entertained for longer! You might want to leave a reward at each clue point to make exploring that much sweeter.

4. Artsy fartsy

Set up art stations around the hunt site and instruct them to design their own bunny face mask, or a special Easter Egg card to send to Granny! You could even include colouring in activity pages to keep them busy for as long as possible!

5. Get to diggin’

If you don’t mind a messy kid (I mean, who does), why not bury a few treasures in a sand patch and have them excavate the Easter prize using digging tools and brushes. Give them a reward for each treasure they find.
