Create An Easter Hunt

Try an Easter hunt in the house or backyard - and it doesn't just have to be chocolate eggs! Try Easter-themed stickers, colouring books, stationery, accessories or cuddly bunnies. You could even start with a letter from the Easter Bunny, or leave some sneaky footprints (paper printables or flour) or pieces of fur (cotton wool) for some added drama. If you want to get adventurous with puzzles and riddles they have to solve to get their loot, here are some Scavenger Hunt Clues you can print, or get the creative juices flowing and make your own!

Better still, you can get crafty and decorate the house and at the same time! Lift your spirits with lots of colour and get the kids involved with some DIY decor. Get out any party supplies like streamers to hang around the house and draw bunny faces and Easter egg designs on balloons. You might even try your hand at making an Easter Bunny Garland or Easter Wreath.
