Easter time can only mean one thing: an egg hunt. As a longstanding favourite of many, an Easter egg hunt can be both a great way to keep children and adults alike entrained as well as bring people together to spread joy. With that in mind, ensuring that everyone has a cracking time is of the upmost importance.

The location doesn’t matter, all you need is a few chocolate eggs, some tricky clues, and a festive spirit. Whether you’re hosting it at home, or in your local park we’ve got you covered with our list of tips and tricks to make sure that your hunt is egg-celent.

• Keep in mind that its still quite warm in April, so look for locations that are under cover or where the chocolate won’t melt
• Give special little clues unique to you and your family as to where they’ve been hidden:
  • Where mum always hides the TimTams
  • Near where the kookaburra always sings
  • Down where the platypus splashes all day
  • Where the shrimp get thrown onto the barbie
• Consider splitting kids into age groups and send them to hunt in waves, this avoids tears and tantrums. The older ones can also help the younger ones with the hunt
• Placing egg limits or hiding the eggs in batches is a great way to keep things fair for everyone and make sure all the eggs don’t get eaten at once.
