The egg hunt
A well-planned egg hunt takes ten minutes and is remembered for years. The key is the clue structure — a series of written clues that lead from one location to the next is far more engaging than simply hiding eggs around the garden. Use our free Easter egg hunt clue sheet to set up a treasure hunt format.
Easter baking
Hot cross buns (actually straightforward with a bread machine), Easter nest cakes (cornflake cakes with mini eggs — any age can make them), and simnel cake if the household is ambitious. Children who help make the food eat it more enthusiastically and remember it longer.
Traditions worth starting
Dyeing hard-boiled eggs with food colouring is a simple tradition that creates beautiful keepsakes. An Easter basket filled with non-chocolate items (small books, bath bombs, stationery) alongside the eggs lasts longer than the chocolate. Use our free Easter basket checklist to plan each child's basket.
