Use Plastic Eggs For The Best Easter Egg Hunt Your Kids Have Ever Had

By Elton Joy


Easter is an integral part of the Christian belief system. It is an impact full time of remembrance where Christians reflect on the gift of sacrifice and eternal life. They then hide these eggs for the kids to find. What, then, are these kids supposed to do with the eggs once they find them? Are they going to eat them? Most kids at Easter time are more interested in candy and toys than they are in eating real, hard boiled eggs, no matter what color they've been painted.

Telling the Easter story should come up more often than once a year. It is the story of human redemption through the life and death of Jesus Christ. That way, you can stuff them with whatever you want. This is great for the kids because not only do they get to participate in the Easter egg hunt but they also get to keep whatever they find inside the eggs they find.

The beauty of having the plastic eggs, is that the kids never know what they're going to find in their eggs on their Easter egg hunt. For example, you can fill the eggs with candy, money, trinkets, toys, or whatever else you choose. The money part doesn't need to be a lot, even a dollar is a lot of money to small child, but it's the excitement it creates that makes it for one fun Easter egg hunt. By shopping at the dollar store, you can find all sorts of things to fill your plastic eggs with. You'll probably end up spending less than you would had you used real eggs with Easter egg coloring kits, and the kids will have much more fun than if you would have used real eggs.

Many times, the true Easter story is lost in the picnics, and the Easter baskets.Don't hide the Easter eggs on top of anything tall, for instance, so that the children can't even reach them. A better place to hide them is under chairs, behind the couch, on the stairs, or anywhere that will force them to look but just make sure it's not so easy that the Easter egg hunt is over in a couple of seconds.

Once the kids are done with the Easter egg hunt, they'll have even more fun opening their plastic eggs to find out what they've won inside. Even if it's something cheap like a little plastic toy, it will bring them joy because they found it on their own during their very fun Easter egg hunt.
