Easter treats
Easter egg hunts are fun for young and old alike
Far more than just a time for chocolate,
chocolate and more chocolate, Easter
is a time to bring family members closer
together. This is why it is a good idea to
shift the focus from the chocolate to
family activities.
Games, parades, hikes and hunts all
allow for family members, young and
old, to interact and enjoy spending time
together.
There are many variations of the classic
Easter egg hunt.
Add letters to each egg
so kids can make words
Buy some alphabet stickers or write a
different letter on the outside of each
egg. Set the kids loose on their egg hunt
and then offer extra Easter prizes to the
kid who makes the longest word from
their egg stash.
Draw a map
Give each child a map to show them
where the eggs are. Then be a bit sneaky
by hiding another map at one of the
clues. A lot of kids enjoy riddles and
wordy clues that get their brain ticking
and lead them to more difficult places,
such as a specific novel on the book shelf
or a certain herb growing in the garden.
Leave tell tale
bunny prints
Make bunny footprints near each hidden
Easter egg to give the kids some easy
hints as to where the eggs are hidden.
You can make the footprints out of
colourful paper.
Alternatively,
make a piñata
For an international twist why not
abandon a hunt in favour of a piñata?
You can make your own easy eggshaped
piñata from balloons and paper.
Have the children take turns hitting it
with a plastic bat while blindfolded.
The one who finally bursts it open wins
something special. Hint, if you use
sweets as the prize, make sure they
are wrapped sweets so they can still be
eaten if they fall to the floor.
