Get Egg-cited for Easter

Do you get egg-cited for Easter? Here at SAHM we sure do!

By making an event of the day, you can create some great memories, fun times for the kids and leave slightly less time for (over) consumption of chocolate!

If you get a gang together, you can have a great time feasting together, hosting your own Easter hat parade, egg and spoon races or if you’re going to put all your eggs in one basket – an egg-stravagent Easter egg hunt!

The key to an egg hunt that will leave your participants egg-static is planning! Here is our guide to an egg-ceptional egg hunt, without having to shell out too much.

1. Egg-streme Plans

Firstly, plan the route you want the egg hunt to take. Keep it egg-citing by having a route where you can have egg hiding places at different heights and locations of varying difficulty. If you have a large group, you could make an illustrated treasure map showing egg types, how many each hunter needs to find, etc, to keep it fair.

2. Egg-sactly how many eggs?

For each person hunting for eggs, allow about 10 eggs each. This way everyone will have the chance to collect a decent haul without cracking up.

Be sure to keep count of eggs as they are found to ensure egg-sactly the number of eggs hidden are discovered and the hunt continues to the very end.

3. The Golden Egg

When stocking up on eggs, grab a variety of sizes and different chocolate types, shaped chocolates like Lindt bunnies or carrots or insects add egg-stra fun. You could also fill hollow plastic eggs with non-chocolate options like marshmallow or small Easter-themed prizes. Include one egg-stra special Golden Easter egg as a grand prize for the lucky hunters.

4. Eggs-treme decorating

To round off the whole eggs-perience, decorate the house with Easter craft. Egg or bunny-shaped paper garlands, made the same way as paper doll chains, in bright colours will give any space an Easter spirit.

So get egg-cited! Hop to it and create a fun-filled Easter day and feel free to poach any of our yolks. I mean jokes.
