How do you handle different ages in an Easter egg hunt?

Even more helpful FAQs of an Easter egg Hunt! If you have a large group that includes babies, toddlers, children, tweens, and teens. You will want to either A, let the littlest kids start first, or allow a head start. The second option would be to allow each player to grab a certain number of eggs.

For example, my mother-in-law hosts an Easter egg hunt at her house each year. When we go there, each child only allows 5 small eggs and 1 jumbo egg. This allows for all of the grandkids to get eggs. 

Another suggestion you could use has them color-coated. Our reader Andrea suggests having color-coated eggs. If you have five kids, each child could have a different egg color to look for, which would help save arguments! Thanks, Andrea! 

Should I put chocolate in the Easter eggs?

This is a fantastic question! We all love Cadbury eggs am I right? The cream eggs are made particularly for Easter time! Luckily, anymore it’s not just for Easter. I spotted these Scream Cadbury eggs too! Crazy right?

Anyways, sorry, back to the chocolate question. This will depend on the area and climate you live in. If you live in Florida and the weather is in the ’80s, I highly recommend NOT putting chocolate in the eggs.

However, if you live in Ohio and it’s 20′ outside. You can totally put chocolate in the eggs. Not only can you put chocolate, but if it’s snowing, you can do this frozen Easter egg hunt in the snow! 

How Many Eggs Do You Need For An Easter Egg Hunt?

This can vary by the number of people you’re organizing the event for. For example, the average amount of eggs that children get in a community Easter egg hunt would be around 15 eggs per child if you organize an event for your children or grandchildren at your home. You could choose to do 5-10 per kid. It will depend on finances and space.

Is it tacky to ask for the eggs from an egg hunt for next Easter?

No, it is not tacky to ask for the plastic eggs back. Here is a scenario that may help. I have been to lots of egg hunts, including the church, family houses, and organized events in our local community.

Out of five Easter egg hunts last year, four out of five hunts asked to please return the plastic eggs. There is nothing wrong with getting the plastic containers (eggs) back. Suppose it does really bother you. Target usually has 90% clearance on all Easter items about 4-5 days after the holiday. I hope that helps! 🙂

Where to buy Easter eggs?

I personally love finding unique Easter eggs when I can, so I look on Amazon, Hobby Lobby, Target, and Wal-Mart. If you want to find an affordable price on Easter eggs and Marc’s store nearby, I would recommend them! I found twelve count camo eggs at a great price. For 2 packages, it was only 0.98 cents! Score! The dollar tree will have eggcellent deals too! 

Do I need plastic eggs or would boiled eggs work?

Each Easter egg hunt is different. However, I recommend having plastic eggs with mystery surprises inside for added fun for Easter.

This will depend on the age of the group. However, the most recommended areas would be the following for outside.

1. Snow
2. Small Trees

4. Hanging Plants
5. Sandbox
6. Underneath a Picnic Table

What To Do About Allergies at an Easter Egg Hunt

One of the most important FAQs of an Easter egg hunt may be in the eggs I am allergic to? As the host of the event, one good idea would be to ask all those participating if they are allergic to anything in particular. If so, do not add those items to the hunt.
