Easter egg hunts are great fun, but make sure to limit the chance for injury. Consider having separate ‘hunting’ areas for children of different ages/abilities. Little kids can easily be stepped on or knocked down in all the excitement. Also, don’t hide eggs near electrical outlets, around glass, or under thorny plants.
Other Options
While a treat basket and an egg hunt may be a traditional way to celebrate Easter, there are other things you might want to consider. You can create handmade crafts, make a special family meal, or even participate in a volunteer activity in the community like planting a tree or tending a community garden.
