Easter is around the corner so that means it’s time to spend some time planning your Easter egg hunt for any special little bunnies in your life.

An Easter egg hunt consists of taking those plastic eggs that you can find at any dollar store and filling them with things like candy, loose change or other trinkets.

Once you have several eggs filled (say 20 or 30 per kid if you have the time and the dime), on Easter eve, spread them out in your desired location. This can be all over your house, or if it’s warm outside, the backyard is a lot of fun. You can hide them or put them in plain sight.

Make sure each child has something like a basket or bag to go “egg hunting”. Then, on your command, shout “GO!” and let the kids run wild. They will love snatching up as many eggs as possible! If you have various age groups, make sure you have a few set to the side in case a little guy or gal didn’t get too many. It is every man for themselves!

That’s how traditional egg hunts work.

Now, if you’re a parent who likes to mess with the kids…you can try incorporating these tweaks to your Easter Egg hunt.
