With the Easter long weekend now over, we hope you had a wonderful celebration with family and friends. We spent Easter day celebrating with our families, the famous Aussie way with a backyard BBQ. At our family lunch gathering all our nieces and nephews were playing games like parachute, ball games, playing fetch with the dog and then came the Easter egg hunt! A little tradition that my mum in particular loves to organize for the kids.So we hide all the Easter eggs (chocolate eggs!) in the backyard then all the kids run and find them. It’s a fun game that the kids love as it’s full of adventure having to run and find the hidden eggs!

As I helped to hide the chocolate eggs, I couldn’t help but think to myself there is a lot of chocolate here, plus the chocolate eggs the kids have already received as gifts, what are the kids going to do with it all? So, being the healthly one I am, I was trying to think of a plan where the kids can have fun with the Easter egg hunt but end up with smaller amounts of eggs rather then excessive amounts of chocolate…

So, we hid the chocolates and whilst I placed another down on the ground, my mind was ticking thinking… Once all the eggs were hidden I then explained the rules to the kids saying “When I say go, you must run and find as many eggs as you can and place them in your bag. At the end when all the eggs are found, you must run and give one egg each to an adult as an Easter surprise gift from you - ready, set, go!”

It was so cute watching them all run around collecting their eggs and when they had finished, they ran to each adult and gave them an egg each. And the kids loved it, as it was a special gift from them to their parent, aunt, uncle or cousin. It made them feel special whilst also decreasing the left over amount of eggs in their bag!

So there is a little secret for the next time you do an Easter Egg hunt with kids!

Have a great day!
