Ready, steady, hunt
It is a good idea to have a list of places where you will be hiding the eggs.
Easter egg hunts are a lovely way to celebrate Easter Sunday and great fun for children of all ages.
There are tonnes of ways to host Easter egg hunts for children and adults of all ages.
The age of the participants is important to help determine what treats to put in the eggs, as well as where the eggs will be hidden.
If your hunt is only for young children, hide the Easter eggs in places they can reach.
For the youngest kids, you can blanket a lawn with eggs for easy picking.
For the four to six age group, place eggs in slightly more obscure spots such as verandas, windowsills or potted plants.
For older kids, hide eggs higher in trees, in bushes, atop car tires, and in post boxes.
If some adults will be participating in the hunt, set aside some eggs especially for them. Hide the eggs in very obscure and high places.
Plan ahead where you will be hosting the Easter egg hunt.
If you plan to have the event outdoors, remember to have a backup plan just in case the weather does not cooperate. Hide the eggs in a large area if possible to make it even more fun for the children.
If you prefer an indoor hunt, or have no other option, be sure to spread the hunt over several rooms and only hide the eggs in place you would want the participants to look.
When hiding the eggs, keep these in mind:
• Keep hidden eggs far from electrical outlets or plugs.
• Do not hide eggs in holes in tree trunks or the ground.
• Hide eggs at or below the eye level of your children.
• Do not hide eggs around fragile, glass or breakable items.
• Keep eggs out of thorny plants and other foliage that may be poisonous.
• Do not hide eggs in any animals home, food bowl or play area.
It is a good idea to have a list of places where you will be hiding the eggs.
With the list you can go about hiding the eggs or the clues in a planned manner.
While the hunt is on the list would come in handy to direct children to some of the unfound eggs.
