Just your last minute mama here giving you everything you need to throw together an awesome Easter Egg Hunt! We are not talking about eggs thrown on the lawn, we are talking about an egg hunt with fun clues and active participation from the kiddos and a guarantee there will be no fights over who collected more eggs! The best part? This egg hunt can be modified for kids of all ages…even teens!
So to give some background, my aunt came up with true Easter egg hunts for my sisters and me every year and we absolutely loved it. Each year the clues got harder and it’s something we looked forward to, so I knew after I became an aunt and a mama that I wanted to carry on the tradition. Shout out to my sister Jess for helping me put together this post!!
Keep reading to download clues, learn how to set up the hunt and even print a letter from the Easter bunny!
Egg Hunt Instructions:
Download the clues and letter from the Easter Bunny below. There are both blank clues if you’d like to create your own OR you can use the premade clues that will work for most houses and kids.
Determine how many clues you’d like to have. The kids will start with one clue in an egg and that will be the “starter clue”. The clue will lead them to another egg containing clue #2 and this will continue for as many clues as you would like! TIP: Label the clues and eggs with numbers and you can even designate where they are supposed to be placed too so it’s very easy when it comes time to hide everything!
Optional: With each new clue you can also hide a prize. This can be separate from the egg or something inside the egg. Usually I include a prize and with each new clue/egg I have a new prize. But, you can also do it where you have one big prize at the end of the hunt.
Place your Target order pickup with everything you need including eggs, prizes, candy and baskets! Drive Up is life for me!
Hide the eggs and prizes! You can recruit others to help you do this and get everyone in on the action. Remember my tip on labeling eggs with the places they are going? Here’s where it really comes in handy!
Start off your hunt with the Easter Bunny Letter (below) then explain the rules for the hunt. Present the first egg with the first clue and have the kid(s) read it aloud. Now, go hunting and have fun!!
Be sure to follow me on Instagram for even more details about the egg hunt and some sneak peaks into what I’m planning this year! And make sure you tag me or send pictures if you use the clues and plan your own egg hunt! I’d love to see!
