The Easter egg hunt doesn’t have to just be chocolate eggs quickly hidden around the yard, we have some great ideas to spice up the hunt and make it extra fun.

1. Write clues for older children to find the hiding spots

2. Draw a treasure map – on a puzzle that they have to find all the pieces and put together to find the treats.

3. Create a lolly garden bed for the kids to discover

4. Fill plastic eggs with little toy treats to reduce the sugar

5. Get the kids to make their own Easter bunny egg collecting bags

6. Make a Easter Egg hunt treasure map

7. Make cute little signs for the kids to follow

8. Hide Easter treats inside balloons

9. Make Easter bunny footprints – FREE printable

10. Do a night hunt with glow sticks and plastic eggs!

What do you do to make the kids’ egg hunt extra fun? Please add your comment below.

  • I did clues many years ago and the puzzle one last yr (it didn’t work so well). This year I’m going to do a fake egg hunt (each child has a different pattern on their fake eggs) that will lead to a picnic basket full of treats (including breakfast) for the WHOLE family.

  • We have so many ants here that hiding eggs outside is a no go.

  • We have used clues for a scavenger hunt to make it a little more challenging for older kids. Even my teen participated

  • Nice ideas. I like to keep it simple though. Whereas I have done egg hunts in the past I leave this now to the kids themselves to organize.

  • these are good idea, but i just feel like easter is becoming more and more stressful for parents. It’s as though we’re turning it into Christmas. We have to spend so much money for all of these things! replacing chocolate with presents adds up as well.

  • These are such great ideas. What a pity my kids are “too old” and uninterested in participating in Easter Egg hunts.
