Easter 2015: 7 Exciting Ways to Plan an Egg Hunt

In a little over a week, people all over the world will welcome Easter 2015. Egg hunting has long been a traditional family activity during the occasion. Not to worry though even if you and your kids are still brainstorming on the ways to have your own Easter egg hunt. Below are the ideas you can refer to for an exciting Easter egg hunt that'll amaze your entire family!

Decorate Your Home for Easter Early

Avoiding procrastination is the key to a smooth-sailing celebration planning. Decorate your home for Easter at least three days in advance. Pastel balloons represent the true spirit of Easter in your home. An Easter basket decor on your door welcomes your guests. Complete the Easter look at home with pastel-colored tablecloths and streamers, as suggested in BHG.

Buy Enough Pails, Bags and Baskets

Make sure you've bought enough pails, bags and baskets in time for the egg hunting. Count the number of guests you've invited and check the headcount against your supplies, as indicated in Punchbowl.

Gather and Collate Labelled Prizes in Separate Containers

Avoid cramming when egg hunting is over. Gather and label prizes according to categories in individual containers. Prizes liven up the spirit of Easter all the more at home, as suggested by Real Simple. You can label the containers as "Prize 1," "Prize 2," "Prize 3," and so on.

Hide the Eggs Early

Hide the eggs a day ahead of Easter. Hide them good so nobody will find them until the egg hunting starts. If you'll be using plastic eggs for your Easter hunt, fill them with tiny candies inside. Kids will love the treats they'll find in their eggs on Easter Sunday.

Segregate Your Backyard Into Two Subareas

Older and younger kids have their own tastes when it comes to treats. Segregate your backyard for older and younger kids separately. Hide the plastic eggs with treats ideal for younger and older kids in separate areas. Once Easter egg hunting gets started, you'll make all kids happy!

An Easter Egg Bowling After Hunting Game

When egg hunting is over, have a great egg bowling game. Put a white hard-boiled egg at the center of the room. Then, give each child a colored hard-boiled egg. Children take turns in seeing who among them can roll their egg nearest to the white one.

Double Check for Missing Easter Eggs

When egg hunting is over, you need to make sure all eggs have been found! Don't put eggs to waste, nor allow them to rot in your living room or backyard!

Easter egg hunting does not need to be chaotic. These simple ideas will make egg hunting a friendly competition that commemorates only a special event this spring.
