Below are some of the ideas that residents can utilise this Easter holiday:
• Puzzle Easter egg hunt
Instead of filling the eggs with candy, fill each egg with a puzzle piece. Once you’ve collected all the eggs, the family can gather around the table to assemble the puzzle.
• Fun fact Egg hunt
Who says you can’t take advantage of the holiday activity to teach your kids a thing or two? Fill each egg with a fun fact that your little one will remember forever.
• Challenge Easter egg hunt
Get into the competitive spirit by putting a simple physical challenge such as, “do 10 jumping jacks” or, “run across the yard and back” inside each egg.

The trick is that each time someone finds an egg, they yell out the challenge and the other competitors have to do it before they can go back to their egg search, while the person who found the challenge gets to keep looking.
• Coin egg hunt
Help teach your child about math and money by filling the eggs with different types of coins, that all add up to the same amount, so that they’ll be able to see visually how the different coins relate to each other. Who said math can’t be fun?
• Ingredient Easter egg hunt
Instead of candy, fill your Easter eggs with different spices in a little container or plastic bag and other ingredients.
Once participants have collected all the ingredients, gather together in the kitchen to bake one of your favourite Easter recipes as a group.
• Beauty Easter egg hunt
For children who are obsessed with getting all dolled up, hide face paint or small makeup samples in each egg and then help them get sparkly when they’ve collected them all.
