The Perfect Easter Egg Hunt

Here are some great tips on planning the perfect Easter egg hunt by Kaboose Family Network: Click Kaboose for more ideas!

* "Use different colors: Get two- to four-year-olds looking for blue eggs while those four to six search for green, and so on [to level out the playing field].

* Make words: Paint a different letter on each egg... then have the kids create words with the eggs they’ve found. The kid with the most words wins a prize.

* Keep a record: Make a note of how many eggs you’ve used and where they’re hidden.

* Set boundaries: Tell kids to stay between the house and the first maple tree, for instance, or to go no farther than the mailbox.

* Draw a map: Keep things interesting by setting up a treasure hunt for kids.

* Add a piñata: If you’re using plastic eggs, place them in a piñata once they’ve been found. The one who finally bursts it open wins something special."

Here's one more idea from Musikandmotion:

* Add music during your hunt of course!

Happy Easter, Rosh Hashanah and Passover!
