How to Organise an Easter Egg Hunt
Hunting for colourful eggs is a tradition families enjoy each year. Whether you’re planning an egg hunt indoors or out in the garden, you’ll find lots of egg-citing things to craft here at Baker Ross to get into the spirit.
To help your Easter egg hunt go off without a hitch we’ve rounded up the 6 things you’ll need to do to pull off an amazing event, big or small.
Pick your Location
If your Easter egg hunt is for a large group then finding the right location is key. A local park or community centre grounds makes for a good choice. For a more lowkey celebration then setting up in your garden will be perfect. If the weather isn’t great on the day, or your kids prefer hunting for their eggs indoors, then use our free Easter Egg Hunt Clues Printable to enhance the fun.
Buy the Eggs
Fillable plastic eggs make life easier as they can be hidden hours or even the day before without the worry of melting. You can fill each egg with sweets, toys and even coins. Hiding 10 eggs for each child to find will make for a super egg hunt and give them plenty of chances to collect their treasures.
Buy the Baskets
Every child needs a special basket to collect their Easter eggs. Add to the excitement and encourage kids to make their very own Easter basket this year. From wooden baskets to fun weaving options, you’ll find the best DIY Easter baskets here at Baker Ross. If you’re hosting for a large group then our Easter Baskets Bumper Pack includes 30 colourful paper baskets to assemble.
Set up the Easter Magic
Now it’s time to set up the trail with your themed decorations and props. Adding some bunny footprints and ‘This Way’ signs will bring the egg hunt to life. Get creative with your Easter garden décor, clues, games and even costumes! This Concertina Bunny Decoration would look super cute hung up indoors or outside on a tree.
Hide the Eggs
Count up your eggs (this will help you know when the hunt is over) and then decide on your hiding places. Depending on the age of the children attending the egg hunt you’ll need to make the hiding spots easier or harder to find.
Let the Egg Hunt Begin!
Let the younger children have a head start and watch as their faces light up with excitement. If you’re using clues to guide the hunt, then why not ask an older child to read these aloud for the group. Once all the eggs have been collected you can crown the winner and hand out Easter prizes if you’ve chosen to reward the top gatherer.
