If you have shopped for eggs lately, they have been pricey and in short supply. Start planning now for alternatives to have fun on Easter in place of the traditional egg hunt.

  • Use plastic eggs and fill them with treats or fun Spring items. These eggs are reusable for years to come. Mix up the egg colors, then have the kids match them as an extra activity after the hunt.
  • Plan a scavenger hunt for spring items around your house or outside. Make it educational to learn numbers or the alphabet.
  • Get out the paint or colored pencils and paper and have a contest to draw the best Easter egg, a bunny or Spring flower.
