We talked to experts in the field of top-notch children's party planning to get their advice for the ideal Easter challenge in order to help you come up with all the best Easter egg hunt ideas.
EASTER EGG HUNT IDEAS
Here are all of their finest Easter egg hunt suggestions, from novel approaches to providing clues to suggestions for engaging games.
EASTER EGG HUNT CLUES
A thorough egg hunt with printed clues, your guidance of the kids as they move from one location to the next, and a cache of treats at the end is always a terrific adventure if you have the time. The founders of Sankey and George, a creative events company specializing in immersive experiences for both adults and children, Charlie Astor and George Whitefield, said that a fun touch is writing clues with a UV pen, making them only visible with a UV torch - adding a sense of mystery to it all.
USE PICTURES AS WELL AS WORDS.
It might be enjoyable to use hints for your Easter egg hunt, but make sure you are catering to your entire audience. Try utilizing visual cues instead of language if you have small children, pre-readers, or children with special needs for whom sentences may be difficult, advised Charlotte Melia, founder and MD of the specialized children's party company Dazzle and Fizz.
CREATE A DISTINCTIVE EASTER EGG HUNT
You can color-code the eggs according to their packaging when hiding them. For instance, only children of a certain age may receive a certain egg, or there is greater glory to be had by finding some extremely well-hidden eggs of a specific color, explained Charlie and George.
MIX UP YOUR PRIZES.
You might want to think about putting some non-edible prizes in your Easter egg hunt as well because there can be a lot of sugar consumed over the Easter weekend. Books, puzzles, and educational awards are excellent ideas as well as craft bundles, according to Charlotte.
GET COMPETITIVE.
You can participate in an egg relay race if you're very competitive. The next person cannot go until the person who ran to fetch the egg returns with one. Start your teams' loud yelling and bouncing around. George and Charlie had an idea.
Creating your own Easter baskets is another enjoyable pastime that can raise excitement for the egg hunt. Paper, card, fabric, and felt are just a few of the materials you can use to create baskets. You could also purchase a pre-made basket and customize it yourself, said Charlotte.
Making Easter bonnets together as a family is a wonderful project to do before the egg hunt. Use self-adhesive foam forms to decorate your bonnets instead of messy glue, paint, and glitter, or go with woven bonnets that you can add bows, ribbons, and other embellishments to," Charlotte said.
OTHER THINGS THINK FOR EASTER EGG HUNTING
KEEP THINGS FAIR.
"Typically, younger children are at a tiny disadvantage against slightly older youngsters who still like going on hunts. Divide everyone into equal teams of varied ages, and instruct each group to create a team "coop" space. They have to run back and place an egg in their team coop when they find one. "With victory for everybody, the teams' spoils are distributed equally," Charlie and George said.
THINK SUSTAINABLY.
"Avoid using little plastic toys that have a short shelf life and will certainly be thrown away fast if you do decide to include non-edible prizes in your quest. It is preferable to give a few high-quality gifts rather than many cheap ones, Charlotte said.
