Hello!

I don’t know about your little ones, but my boy’s love the “We’re going on a Bear hunt” book and I thought it would be super fun to turn that idea into an Easter hunt activity. The beauty of this is you don’t have to restrict the items to just chocolate!

I like to give one keepsake for Easter together with chocolate.

So let’s get started.

Decide on your treats, chocolate, a small plush bunny, pyjamas etc. Keep the keepsake for the end and final find.

Make up some cute phrases that are easy to follow. For the older children that can read, having a written note from Easter bunny is very exciting!

“We’re going on an Easter Hunt, come and join in the fun”

The Easter bunny has travelled through:

  • The front gate= hide a small egg for them here
  • The front garden= let them search the garden beds for their treat
  • The back garden= hide an egg in a pot or on a chair
  • The lounge room= hide amongst some toys
  • Their bedroom= hide the final gift under their pillow.

Add or omit as many things as you like, there are no rules!

This idea could also be extended to your local park to enjoy with friends and their children.

Make it simple, make it fun! All children love an adventure; why not create one for them?

  • Love the Easter egg hunt. 🙂

  • When the kids were too small to read I took photos of items around the house and created a trail for each of them by using a small photo stuck to each egg they found. They love it and everyone finds their own eggs. This year we’ll be able to go with words and riddles. They love it! And do do I.

  • I do this with my children – have since I was blessed with my first little cherub 15 years ago. I love them having something other than chocolate at the end of their exploration – and just the joy from the kids looking around to see the Easter Bunny has left a trail is priceless. The Easter bunny leaves “clues” along the way for them to read and follow. At then end of our hunt we take those clues, and along with the pictures Hubby and I have taken during the hunt ( we print them out on the pc) we paste them into a scrapbook to make our own Easter book to read at bedtime . The kids love it , and so do we as parents, because we can look back on them as see how much our babies have grown and the joy of being together on these occasions brings.
