Hunt the Easter Egg

To celebrate Easter we have some delicious Divine Fairtrade Easter Eggs to give away, but you have to be signed up to our newsletter to enter, click here to register.

Hopefully by the Easter Weekend, (Easter Sunday falls on the 4th April this year), the sun might even get a chance to beam. Spring, will all its daffodils, crocuses and other blossoms is one of my favourite times of the year and there is nothing better than getting a hoard of kids together to have a good old fashioned Easter Egg hunt.

My preferred method of Easter Egg hunting is to get lots of little foil covered chocolate eggs and to lay them as a trail complete with clues to where the next egg might lie. This can work both indoors and out so if we do have a series of April showers over Easter your egg hunt can still go ahead. Remember to get the egg to child ratio correct or there will be tears. In our household we prefer to have a selection if smaller eggs in a 'clutch' at the end of the trail rather than one big egg which may cause fights if one person (small or large) thinks they found it first. Remember that egg hunters tend to work quicker than expected so don't be surprised if they whistle round your trail in a matter of seconds rather than the hour and a half it took for you to lay it.

The alternative is just to hide plenty of eggs around the garden/lounge, forget about the clues and simply let the egg hunters run a mock. The benefit of this option is that some of the eggs may be overlooked which means there might be a sneaky one left for you to enjoy when you get a moment to yourself.
