Tips for the perfect Easter egg hunt
Keep reading for these extra tips to help your Easter egg hunt go smoothly …
- Make sure there are plenty of eggs to go round when the kids find their jackpot.
- If you want to go all-out, you can hide little sweet treats in each place, ready for your kids to find when they solve the clue – you’ll need a lot more treats though!
- If you’d rather cut down on chocolate and sugar, you could use another small prize, like a sticker or a little toy, as an incentive for each clue.
- Or you can just set things up so that each clue leads to where the next clue is hidden; as your kids solve each one, they’re getting closer to the grand prize!
- Bear in mind that young kids will probably only want to follow so many clues before they expect a prize.
- If you have more than one kid, or your little one’s having friends over, there are several options. You could …
- have them team up to solve the clues together
- give each person or team a different set of clues
- turn it into a race, with the same set of clues for each player or group of players (be sure to have smaller prizes on hand for the losing team, though)
