On the Saturday before Easter, why not have an Easter Egg Hunt.Have your kids draw up a flyer or create one on your computer. Distribute the leaflets to family and friends.
This is fun for all the family. The parents have fun hiding the eggs while the children have fun finding them.
Buy some cheap small eggs and Easter toys so it doesn’t work out expensive.
For the youngest kids, you can blanket a lawn with eggs for easy picking. For the four to six age groups, place eggs in slightly more obscure spots (like porches, windowsills or potted plants). For older kids make it a bit more difficult hide the eggs high in trees, bushes and harder to see places.
Give each child a basket or bowl to collect their eggs in.
To give each child a fair crack at filling his/her basket, create three areas: one for kids ages three and under, one for ages four to six, and one for ages seven and older. This way, young children can find eggs without being mowed down, while their older siblings get a greater challenge. Alternatively, you can assign a different color egg to each age group so if the older children find the wrong colour they are to put it back for the right age group to find.
Then let the hunt begin…..and don't be surprised by how quickly it ends.
"It will probably takes two hours for you to hide the eggs, but only minutes for the kids to find them," "but it's sooooo worth it."
