Easter Backyard Ideas

Rainbow chasing

No peeking into the backyard: go on an Easter egg hunt.

There are two games that have the common thing that needs blindfolds: Blindman's Bluff, Murder in the Dark and Pin the Tail on the Donkey.

Distribute the eggs in an open area and be ready to get the hunters to try to discover the eggs by feeling around.

Instead, combine the color-coding notion and assign each hunter a number of unique eggs to discover. Then the hunters can be guided to the eggs with a friend on the sidelines with the "hot" or "cold" approach.

Sprinkler Competition

If you live in a hot environment, keep the youngsters cool by placing sprinklers near the egg clusters—your tiny hunters will adore having to endure the spray to retrieve their prize!

Hunting for gold

Turn it into an archaeological excavation for a unique Easter egg search! This is a great idea for anyone who has a sandpit or playthrough. A blow-up pool, bucket, or big container, on the other hand, will suffice! Grab your Easter eggs wrapped in foil inside the dirt or sand. Then damp them with water before letting them buried overnight.

Provide your hunters with a brush and a spoon as excavation equipment in the morning, and get them to work discovering their delectable Easter fossils! A terrific combination of messy play and a delicious treat

Hunt for Easter eggs all over the backyard.

Let your egg-hunters work for their rewards by putting them through a gross motor obstacle course! You can make use of the ladders, hula hoops, slides, or tunnels to be the course.

To get a tangle for the kids to squeeze, wriggle, and crawl through you can use crepe paper dolls. It also makes it easier to be used as the easy labyrinth course. To make it children-safe, use friendly materials like crepe paper or masking tape.

Gotcha!

Mix chocolate eggs with fake ones to add a sly touch to the hunt! Grab your plastic-made eggs and fill them with confetti or some funny messages. Paint a colorful design on garden rocks or wrap small stones in chocolate egg foil to make them appear like actual eggs.

I now know my A, B, and C.

Write an alphabet letter on each Easter egg. Then have the kids arrange them alphabetically to determine which letters they still need to discover! It's a fantastic technique to make the hunt exciting while also making it simple to monitor where each letter is hidden. Don't forget to keep track of your hiding spots in case the hunters need a tip!

Cloud Hunting

The ground is the first thing that catches your eye during a backyard Easter egg hunt. However, who guarantees that the eggs will be present? Therefore, instead of wrapping your Easter eggs in brilliantly colored tissue paper, tie them to low tree branches. It's a great way to add some excitement to the hunt while also adding a splash of color to your yard for Easter.

Trails for bunnies

Make an Easter Bunny footprint trail for the kids to follow, either directly from their bed to various clusters of eggs or as suggestions for extra-tricky hiding spots. These may be glued to the floor or dragged about the yard. If you're feeling very inventive, combine flour and glitter to create magic-dust footprints.

Boost the stakes.

Stake the Easter eggs into the lawn or flower beds with popsicle sticks or kebab skewers. The eggs will appear to be sprouting from the ground. It will add a magical touch to the Easter egg hunt, provide some extra-tricky hiding spots, and appear gorgeous and brilliant against the natural flora.
