A Timeless Party Format

Easter egg hunts combine outdoor activity, treasure seeking, and celebration in a format appealing to every age.

Age-Appropriate Zones

  • Toddler (1-3): Ground level, plain sight, large bright eggs
  • Kids (4-8): Waist height, slightly concealed
  • Big kids (9-12): Challenging hides, elevated and partially buried

Creative Fills Beyond Candy

  • Small toys: stickers, tattoos, bouncy balls
  • Craft supplies: mini crayons, erasers, washi tape
  • Snacks: goldfish crackers, fruit snacks
  • Special eggs: coins, gift cards, golden tickets

Additional Activities

Hard-boiled eggs with dye kits, stickers, markers, and glitter glue. Great icebreaker before the hunt.

Backdrop with bunny ears, egg baskets, and pastel props.

Food

Bunny sandwiches, carrot cake cupcakes, pastel popcorn, spring fruit salad. Juice boxes and water bottles.

Logistics
