Plan your own Easter Egg Hunt!
provided by Shindigz

Divide the kids into three age groups – Ages 3 and under, ages 4 to 6, and ages 7 and up.

Have color-coded eggs for each age group – especially if your space is limited. For example, have pink and blue for the younger children, purple and green for the older kids.

Use small plastic eggs and stock each with one small toy or piece of candy – no need to stuff them full!

For a twist, instead of hiding eggs, hide spring-colored crayons! Once the hunt is over give each child a new coloring book.

Games & Activities for your Easter Party or Spring Garden Party!

Pass It On
provided by Shindigz

For this activity you will need a hard-boiled egg for each person and a collection of colored markers. The smaller tip permanent markers work best.

Have everyone gather around the table. Each person takes an egg and draws hair on it. Then each one passes their egg to the person next to them. That person draws the eyebrows. Pass the eggs again and draw the eyes. Keep passing and drawing until all the parts of the face are done. You can include cheeks, nose, mouth, ears, or any unique features like freckles and moles. Then everyone can admire the results!
