Create Your Own Easter Egg Hunt
🥚

Can’t make it to an organised hunt? It’s easy to set up your own in the garden, at home or at the park.

🗺️ Make a clue trail: Write simple rhyming clues, or draw a treasure map for younger children.
🧺 Give everyone a basket: A bag, bucket or decorated egg box works just as well.
🎨 Decorate your own eggs: Painted hard-boiled eggs, painted pebbles or paper eggs make great hidden treasures.
🌈 Colour-code the eggs: Give each child their own colour, so everyone finds a fair share.
🐣 Hide at the right height: Keep eggs low and easy to spot for toddlers, and save the trickier hiding places for older children.
🔢 Count them out and count them back: Keep a note of how many you hide, so none get left behind for pets or wildlife to find.
🎩 Add an Easter bonnet parade: Make bonnets from paper plates, ribbon and paper flowers, and finish with a parade.
☔ Rainy day? Move the hunt indoors, with clues hidden around the house.
