Easter Egg Hunt Ideas
Kisses for Easter
For my daughters first Easter,I left a trail of Hershey Kisses from her room to her Easter Basket. She is now 7 years old and just thinks that the trail of candy is the greatest thing. I believe she looks forward to this more than her basket.

Follow the Clues
We have a family tradition that we have passed along to several other families who adopted it in some form. When our children got up Easter morning they didn't find a basket. Instead there was a plastic egg with a clue inside. This led them to another plastic egg, which led to another, and so on. Up to about a dozen eggs. They had so much fun they were almost disappointed when they got to the basket at the end. When they got older we had them make up clues for each other. It's been a great tradition.

The Easter Spider
My parents came up with a different twist on the traditional Easter bunny. We had the Easter spider. We (my brother and I) came out of our rooms on Easter morning and we each had an Easter basket just outside of our door. Tied to the Easter basket was a string and we each had to follow our own string throughout the house and around and over and under furniture all over the house. It was a blast!! As we followed our string we found treats along the way.
