Easter Fun Ideas
Date: A Sunday between March 22 &
April 25
While the religious significance is the
main focus of Easter, children love the fun and excitement of an
Easter egg hunt. The problem of course, is that the older kids get
most of the goodies because the young ones haven't learned how devious
Mom and Dad are about hiding things!
For a new variation that will ensure
everyone has the same amount of fun, try making it an Easter Treasure
Hunt, with their Easter Basket as the end prize.
Dollar and discount stores sell bags of plastic colored eggs that are
perfect for hiding clues for each child. Allot one color to every
child, and make it clear that there is no egg-snatching, because the
other person's clues aren't going to help them at all.
For the youngest children, sometimes pictures make the best clues. For
example, the first egg you hand them to start off the hunt, might have
a bed cut out of a catalog or advertising flyer. Help the little ones
who haven't quite caught on yet, and point them towards their bedroom.
Place the next colored egg in a fairly easy to find place like under
the pillow, or right on the bed. Now you could use a picture of a
stove in the next egg, and off they go to the kitchen.
Setting up the hunt requires a little thought on your part, to create
clues that will be entertaining, and appropriate to each age level.
The older the child, the more fun you can have trying to trick them.
In order to get started, set everyone down for breakfast and then go
off on your clue hiding circuit of the house, and stash their baskets
at the end of the trail.
