All you really need to organise your very own Easter egg hunt

Easter is going to feel a little different because of the lockdown measures that are still in place. But that does not mean you can have fun. One way to do this is to put together your very own Easter egg hunt. And it's super easy to do.

All you really need to do to organise an Easter egg hunt is to invest in some supplies and make sure the participants are not peeking when you set it all up!

It's a great idea for Easter Sunday, but you can just as easily stage one on any other day during the Easter holidays. You can have an outdoor Easter egg hunt in the garden. But it’s just as much fun indoors too - if you don’t have much outside space.

The Easter egg hunt kit essentials

The egg collecting tote bags

There are 4 bags, each with super cute bunny ears in different colours. These are a great idea since you can reuse them after Easter – they’re super cute, and you can personalise them with the child’s name. You'll need a waterproof marker pen for that.

The Easter egg hunt eggs

We recommend Chocolate foil-covered eggs. They are easy to hide for a traditional Easter egg hunt. What's more, if you don’t want to pit the kids against each other, you can assign them each a colour each to collect. There's plenty to choose from on amazon.co.uk, or you could pick some up from your local supermarket.

Fillable Plastic Easter Eggs

Not keen on having only Chocolate eggs, then get yourself some Fillable plastic Easter eggs. You can fill these eggs with small prizes of your choice, whether chocolate or toys that the kids will love to play with after the hunt is over.
