Easter egg hunt

Add some magic to Easter with this simple activity for the kids.

How to make a magical Easter egg hunt

Three easy steps for a DIY Easter egg hunt at home.

1. Choosing the eggs

You might want to use chocolate eggs, which are quick and simple, and already wrapped! Or you might want to use plastic eggs, which you can fill with non-sugary treats. Or, you may want to use decorative eggs, which can be traded for treats (3 eggs = 1 treat).

2. Inside or out? 

You may have a tiny house, or there may be giant thunderclouds outside – luckily a good Easter Hunt can work indoors or out. Tip: Make a list of all the places you have hidden the eggs, so that after the hunt, you can be sure that there are no eggs left behind.

3. Eat up!

Now that you've found the yummy Easter eggs, it's time to enjoy them!

Safety tip

The outdoors hunt

Be sure to consider the safety of those on the hunt, so avoid places like pools, ponds, electric boxes, garden sheds, or anywhere near roads or driveways .

Before you begin remember there are places in your home you might not want little people searching through (e.g. Laundry cupboards). Close off areas where there are no eggs with little signs.
