1. Setting the scene 

On the morning of Easter before the kids wake up, Tegan transforms her backyard into an Easter egg hunt suitable for kids of all ages. A few simple decorations instantly set the tone, with signs guiding the way, bunny footprints leading to hidden treasures and baskets ready for collecting eggs. 

2. Hiding eggs for every age 

One of the key elements of a successful Easter egg hunt is making sure everyone can join in. Tegan suggests tailoring hiding spots based on age to keep all kids engaged. 

For younger children (aged 4 years and under) 

For little ones, it’s best to keep hiding spots visible and easy to reach so they can feel confident and successful during the hunt. Consider hiding eggs:  

• Sitting in plain sight on the grass  
• Peeking out from under a pot plant 
• Resting beside outdoor toys or play equipment  
• On a low step  

For older children (aged 5 years or older) 

Older kids enjoy more of a challenge, so eggs can be hidden in trickier or higher spots. Adding simple clues or hint cards can turn the hunt into an adventure and keep them entertained for longer. Consider hiding eggs:  

• Balanced on low tree branches 
• Behind outdoor cushions or furniture 
• Tucked into garden beds or behind rocks 
• Hidden under doormats or welcome signs 
• Inside letterboxes, cubby houses or play tents 
• Behind fence posts or along railings 

For both age groups, colourful eggs in different sizes add an extra special touch and make the hunt even more exciting. 

With just a few decorations, a handful of eggs and a bit of creativity, an Easter egg hunt can quickly become the highlight of your Easter morning. It’s an affordable, outdoor activity that keeps kids entertained while helping keep the magic of Easter, and the Easter Bunny, alive through meaningful family moments.

Everything needed to bring it all together can be found in one easy in-centre visit. Head to Galleria to pick up everything you need and make your Easter celebrations extra special this year.
