Planning the perfect Easter egg hunt
From the White House lawn to the
family living room, children of
all ages will soon be searching
behind bushes and couches to fi nd that
last treasured egg. If you don’t have an
Easter egg hunt to attend in your community
this year, consider planning
your own and inviting all the neighbors
to participate. Here are some tips for
planning the perfect Easter egg hunt:
FIND OUT WHAT KIDS
WANT
Kids each have their favorite items
they’re hoping they’ll fi nd in their
baskets. To deliver the best gift s from
the Easter Bunny, you have to think
like the kids. See what kids think
about the Easter Bunny and the goodies
he’s going to bring this year in this
adorable video by Personal Creations.
PICK THE RIGHT EGGS
Load up on eggs of all shapes and
sizes. Plastic eggs are the best for
hiding, because if an egg isn’t found,
it won’t spoil and cause a mess later.
Plastic eggs are very colorful, making
them easier to spot by both little
children and older kids alike. If you’re
inviting a lot of younger children to
the egg hunt, consider placing several
eggs in a soft Easter basket like the
Large Plush Bunny Basket and placing
it under a tree to make it faster and
easier for kids to fi nd.
INVITE THE EASTER
BUNNY
Rent an Easter Bunny costume and
ask someone to wear it to welcome
guests of all sizes to your Easter egg
hunt. Ask someone else to be a digital
photographer who can email your
guests photos taken of their kids posing
with the Easter bunny – parents
will appreciate the opportunity to
have their kids take a picture with the
Easter Bunny without having to make
a special visit to the local mall. Hang a
personalized Egg Hunt Banner in the
yard and decorate the area with streamers
and balloons to give your backyard
a festive feel.
PREPARE FOR RAIN
April showers aren’t outside of the
scope of possibilities, so prepare for a
rainy day situation. You don’t want a
handful of disappointed children at the
party. Utilize furniture and the garage
to hide eggs throughout the house. Prepare
a map of the house and how many
eggs are in each room so kids who aren’t
familiar with the layout of the home can
still fi nd their fair share of hidden eggs.
CONSIDER TREATS THAT
AREN’T CANDY
Don’t limit your Easter party treats
to just sweets. Stuff ed bunnies make
the perfect companion for young kids,
and are a great gift to hide along with
the eggs. Parents will appreciate that
there are options to take home other
than candy, and kids will have something
to keep for years to come. To give
it that extra special touch, personalize
a stuff ed animal with each kid’s name

With these tips, you’ll have a
successful Easter egg hunt that your
friends and neighbors – and their children
– will be talking about for weeks
to come.
