Backyard Easter Egg Hunt

Posted by Charlina Stewart Feb 22, 2008

If you’re looking for a way to have some fun with the kids this Easter, try organizing a backyard Easter egg hunt. It’s easy to do and requires very little prep time. It's also a great way for the kiddos to get a little exercise.

If you plan to include your children’s friends, you can ask their parents to purchase a bag of plastic eggs and things to fill them with.

The children can help you fill the plastic eggs a day of two before the hunt. If smaller kids will be participating, it would be wise for an adult to accompany them – so that they can assist with putting the eggs into their baskets.

If there is a big age difference in the children that will participate, you should try having two separate hunts. It will spare you the guilt of having your rambunctious ten-year-old son knocking your neighbor’s three-year-old daughter to the ground while he’s diving for Easter eggs.

This is a fun way to spend quality time with the entire family. Happy hunting!
