Have your own Easter Egg Hunt at home!
While the current lockdown is in place and usual venues for Easter Egg Hunts are closed, why not do your own at home, or in the garden if you have one. Kids love hunting for things, so if you do have enough eggs and can get them outside in the garden they’ll love it. If you don’t have an abundance of eggs or you have don’t much chocolate in the house then maybe hide other things with an alternative winning prize at the end. You could hide their teddies, stuffed toys in the house and ask them to search for them by name; with the prize at the end being their Easter Egg.
