Plan The Perfect Easter Egg Hunt
One of the enduring traditions of Easter is the Easter egg hunt, ostensibly where young children hunt around their homes and gardens in search of gifts left by the Easter Bunny. If you're planning on playing the role of the Easter Bunny and setting up an Easter egg hunt for your children, here's a few tips to make it go with a bang:
- Choose your hiding places depending on the age of your children.
The younger children are, the less patience they will have when it comes to an Easter egg hunt. If you're children are under the age of eight, keep your hunt short and relatively easy to complete. Leave some of the eggs or chocolate a little bit on show - so it's easy to spot and easy to find.
If your children are older than eight, you can be a little more adventurous.
- Try clues.
While most Easter egg hunts usually just involve children running around to try and find eggs without much direction, you can always try a clue-driven Easter egg hunt. This works particularly well if you want the fun of a hunt without the expense of buying a lot of chocolate eggs: start with one clue, which leads to the next clue and so on, and at the final location your children find their chocolate Easter gifts.
- Think like a child.
When placing the eggs for children to find, try and step in to your child's mindset: where would they look for clues, where is convenient? Also remember to keep things at the relevant eye height for a child, as any gifts that are too high may go unnoticed.
