Easter Egg hiding pro tips
- 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.
Places to hide Easter eggs outside
Think about the weather, if it’s going to be a warm morning, look for shady spots. If it’s rainy, undercover is the go. And don’t forget dogs! If you have a pooch keep them away from any chocolate.
