Easter Egg Hunts are a fun and highly anticipated part of Easter celebrations for many Children in America and around the world.

Easter Egg Hunt Tips

Here are some tips, suggestions and ideas on how to plan for a great fun Easter Egg hunt event that your kids will love. There are several things that must be done so here are the top five must dos for any great Easter egg hunt.

1. Always prepare more east eggs than you will need
I can say from experience that you can never have to many Easter eggs. Although it might take you hours to prepare the eggs and hide them around your yard, children will find all of them in seconds. Also keep in mind that some children will find more eggs than others. If you have prepared a surplus of eggs, each child will get plenty of eggs and you will save yourself tears towards the end of the day.

2. Don’t forget to stuff the eggs
The first thing a child does once they have collected their eggs is sit on the floor and open each one. It is important that you fill the eggs with a little something. Most people fill their eggs with candy, but you can fill eggs with any small items you want. If you want to hide your eggs far in advance you might want to consider not putting chocolate in your eggs.

3. Hide eggs
I know this seems like a silly statement, but there might be some things you don’t think about when hiding eggs. You must gage how well you need to hide the eggs by the age level of your children. If you have small children you will need to hide the eggs in very obvious locations such as in the middle of the yard. Once your children start getting older you can hide the eggs in less obvious locations such as in bushes and trees. If you have a mix of ages, you can hide equal amounts of eggs in easy spots and harder to find spots. Just remind your children that the obvious eggs are for the younger children and the harder to find eggs are for the younger children.

4. Baskets for holding eggs
Baskets are a must for any Easter egg hunt. Your children are going to need something to put their eggs in as they hunt for them. You can make the Easter basket part of their Easter morning present or you can make an entire event out of Easter baskets. If you want to add a little flair to your Easter you can allow your children to decorate their own baskets so each one is unique.

5. Get everyone involved
Easter doesn’t have to be just for children. You can get everyone involved in some way. For the older children that feel they are too old for hunting eggs, hiding eggs is a fun way to stay involved in the Easter day festivities. The older attendees to the hunt can also assist the youngest children in finding eggs. Sometime the smaller children need a little help and this is a great way to get involved with the hunt. Yet another option is to be a cheerleader for the hunters. There is nothing better than everyone cheering for you while you are searching for eggs. With everyone involved, your Easter egg hunt will be filled with fun memories.

As long as you implement at least one of these things into your Easter egg hunt, you will have a fun filled event that will create great memories for all those who attend.
