How to have an Easter Egg Hunt
Easter egg hunts are a great way for a child to celebrate Easter. The excitement and giggles heard by children can be very rewarding to adults who share this timeless activity with a child. These tips will help you plan an Easter egg hunt that will be sure to please.
You can focus your hunt on all of the children in your extended family, neighborhood kids or childhood friends. However you decide, figure out how many kids will be involved in your hunt. Purchase enough plastic eggs for each child to have around 12 eggs.
Fill each egg with a couple of pieces of candy. In some of the eggs, put change or $1.00 bills. You can get creative and make up little coupons that are redeemable for whatever you decide. A coupon may be worth a movie night out with mom, dad or a grandparent. You might have one coupon be worth a trip to the dollar store, in which the child has X amount of dollars to spend. It can be anything you decide. Hide the eggs around the area you want your egg hunt to be in. Most of the time you will have various ages of children participating in the activity. To solve the dilemma of older kids gathering a lot of eggs and little ones getting a few, you can divide the kids into two groups. Allow the little kids to go first and make their eggs a lot easier to find. Assist the little ones in their hunt. When they are done, let the bigger kids go and make their eggs a bit trickier to obtain. Hide their eggs in bushes, low trees, behind objects, etc.. Another way to solve the age difference dilemma is to color code each child's eggs. Assign each child a color and have them find only that color of egg. Once all of the eggs have been collected, (make sure you know how many you started with and check to make sure you have not left an egg or eggs behind. It's never fun to "find" one with the lawn mower) allow the kids to open their eggs to find their treasure. Take satisfaction in knowing that you just created a great memory for a child!-
