50 places to hide Easter eggs

Keep an inventory of how many and where eggs are hidden. Nobody wants to be sitting in melted chocolate in two weeks time.
If you’ve got kiddos of different ages, hide the eggs at different heights so they all have a chance to find some. Or colour-code the eggs, so each child can only take the eggs for their age group.
Leave clues for some of their trickier hiding spots (use the gorgeous Easter hunt printables from hello, Wonderful pictured below) or leave a letter from the Easter Bunny with a treasure map.
Not every egg has to be chocolate – use plastic eggs to hide other treats like movie tickets or coupons for fun adventures.
