    Why not try glow in the dark Easter egg. Could use glow in the dark paint and kids would have a blast. Might start a new tradition that they wold always remember.

    stuff your eggs with glow stick and do a night hunt.

    This year I created an outdoor/indoor hunt. I printed up 40 numbered cards for each of 2 grandchildren. I put the card inside a plastic see through bag, along with one plastic egg containing 3 chocolate eggs. On the back of each numbered card were clues about how to find the next one. Clues would be like" find an orange tricycle" and clipped to the tricycle was a bag containing an egg and the next clue. The kids were age 5 and 3.5 so they needed an adult assistant to read the cards and carry the collected stuff. It made a good family activity. The kids loved it, and its a good way for parents or grandparents to bond with the child as they worked together on the hunt.

    These are great ideas!! Thanks, this will help next year!!
  • Let me throw one more idea out there- When my oldest was 2(he is now 23) I cut out pictures in magazines for clues to the nest egg with the next clue. I hid the eggs with clues all around the house and yard. When I married and blended families, I carried on the tradition with writing clues for older kids and pictures for younger ones. It was fun to watch them go and up the stairs multiple times and outside to the mailbox or the wheel well of the truck to find another clue and then I had hidden the Easter basket filled with candy in their room or some obvious place but each year a new spot. I actually did this for the kids until they reached high school.

    When my kids got older I hid the eggs in harder to find places. I waited until it was dark, then gave them flashlights and had them go hunting ! It was awesome. They had a blast. I also put the first letter of their name on the egg, so if they found each other's egg, they just left it there and was instructed not to tell each other that they found it.

    I give each child a color to search for. The eggs all have the same and it becomes a cooperative activity instead of a competitive one. I teach and my class each bring in eggs numbered from 1 to the amount of kids we have. Each child gets a number and they look for that number. This lets each child getting one egg from each child. I teach Pre/K so it also helps with number recognition. No fighting over you got the good egg!!
