Comments on: How to Organize an Easter Egg Hunt

on 4/11/2009 Great job, lots of information.

on 4/11/2009 I love the idea of color coding for age. We just held an Easter Egg hunt today for my play group and it would have been nice to tell the older kids to look for particular colors while helping the younger ones find the other colors. Thanks for the tip!

on 4/11/2009 Good article. sounds fun!

on 4/11/2009 lol, darn awesome article.

on 4/11/2009 The toys and other items sound like a great way to distract kids from the candy. I like to place a special emphasis on the hard boiled eggs, since they're healthy. Great article.

on 4/10/2009 Sounds good!

on 4/8/2009 Great article. I better start preparing for this my son love Easter. thanks for sharing.5

on 4/4/2009 Older children can learn to help plan hunt and hide the eggs - learning that making others happy leads on to happiness (with balance and reason of course).

on 3/4/2008 Here's my problem, we are organizing a scavenger hunt for easter at my place of employment, and i want to encorporate the easter eggs and maybe put clues in the eggs or something to that effect.the ages are from 7 - 13. I work at a gym and im not sure how to go about doing this.

on 2/22/2008 For a variation of Easter Egg hunt game... you can have a more challenging quiz Easter treasure hunt... where you divide the guests in 2 teams and hand out clue's to them... this will be more fun... especially if your easter party has kids in the range of 10 to 15 years old

on 4/7/2007 good ideas, but I just saw on ABC's new channel some safety tips from Mr. No-No. Here is what they recomended... Happy Easter

I also went to his website, very helpfull. www.mrnono.com

Easter is here and that means egg hunts.

But before you start looking for the best new hiding spots to challenge your kids, safety expert Mr. No-No has a few safety tips to keep in mind.

If your egg hunt is indoors:

• Keep hidden eggs far from electrical outlets or plugs.
• Do not hide eggs in light sockets.
• Do not hide eggs in, on, under or around glass.
• Hide eggs at or below the eye level of your children.

If the search is outside:

• Do not hide eggs in trees or holes in the ground.
• Keep eggs out of thorny plants and other foliage that may be poisonous.
• Do not hide eggs in any animal’s home, food bowl or play area.
• Do not hide eggs in grass where pesticides or poisons may have been dispersed.

No matter where you plan to put them, Mr. No-No suggests keeping track of all the eggs you hide and throwing away all eggs that are cracked or damaged.

on 4/5/2007 Hunting for eggs now is boring for some of my older grandchildren. How can I make it more fun for them, and still let it be fun for the younger kids?

on 4/1/2007 instead of prizes only for the most eggs found,encourage those kids who may be less aggressive by having prizes for those who find the least amount!! only keep these prize incentives to yourself until the egg hunt is finished!!bring a smile to the one who is feeling down!!!

on 3/10/2007 Put slips of paper in the plastic eggs for prize baskets/toys. Be sure to spread them evenly across the field. Mark the baskets ahead of time clearly as to what symbol found in egg wins which basket.

on 8/8/2006 Have prizes for kids with the most eggs. Have other prizes also. Kids LOVE Tootsie Rolls! I do too!
