It’s Easter once again, and while this means many different things – holidays, church, chocolate, to name but a few – it also means that it’s time for Easter egg hunts!

 

The Easter egg hunt is a traditional Easter activity that usually happens on Easter Sunday, though it’s not uncommon to arrange it as a weekend activity on the Saturday if that suits your plans better. The idea is that the Easter Bunny has hidden eggs and other treats around a particular area, and the purpose of the hunt is to find all of them and enjoy them!

 

Traditionally, the hunt takes place outside, but it’s probably sensible to have a rainy-day plan in mind, just in case the weather doesn’t cooperate.

 

One of the challenges of organising the Easter egg hunt is choosing the right prizes. It will depend a bit on the age of your participants – if you have some helpful teenagers willing to help the toddlers, you might want to make sure that there are some treats suitable for them, too. (They can always trade with younger hunters if the prizes get mixed.)

 

In general, though, it’s safe to stick to the sorts of things everyone enjoys. Chocolate eggs, chocolate bars or cheerfully wrapped chocolates like Quality Street or Roses are always popular. Sweets are also good – but make sure that they’re the individually wrapped kind, as otherwise everyone will get very sticky!

 

There’s nothing wrong with including some healthier options in your hunt – children may be surprised by how much they enjoy dried apricots or raisins.

 

Home-baked goods are also a possibility – you can make biscuits in bunny shapes, or cupcakes with frosting that looks like eggs. Just remember to wrap them up in cling film or put them in plastic bags before you put them out for the hunt!

 

The main thing is to have a good time, so consider getting some happy music to play during the hunt, or preparing clues to hiding places that relate to shared jokes. And after a hard morning’s hunt, you can all retire to rest and eat together.
