Since Easter is such a celebration, we do enjoy having a little fun with the girls. Every year we have set up an egg hunt for the girls and their cousins. They may find one or two pieces of dark chocolate in an egg but for the most part there are filled with other fun ideas.
Here are a few ideas of things that we have put in our eggs:
- coins (who doesn't like adding to a piggy bank)
- tattoos
- barrettes
- hair elastics
- lip gloss
- nail polish
- socks
- shoe laces
- band-aids
- beads
- glow sticks
- lego
- play-doh
- seeds for the garden
- pieces of a puzzle
- notes of things to do (give out a hug, jumping jacks, act like a tiger etc.)
- questions about the Easter story
- notes of where to find another egg
- pieces of a treasure map to find a larger treasure (I tend to use practical ideas for the treasure ie. night light, crafts, markers, outside toys, games, books, new bathing suit)
