Want to have an Easter Egg Hunt this year in your neighborhood? Not sure you’re up for planning a big activity? No worries. Here are three simple steps to hosting your own Easter Egg Hunt.

1.       Pick a time and a place.

Whether you decide to host it on a Saturday or a Sunday morning, at a park or in your yard, pick a time and place that will work for the majority of folks you plan to invite.

2.       Make up a flyer to announce the plans.

On your invitation you should encourage each family that wants to participate to bring a dozen eggs for each child that will hunt eggs. The eggs should be taped shut and filled with individually wrapped candy. Have the participating families drop off the eggs to you the night before the big hunt so you can hide them before everyone shows up. Or you can have everyone bring the eggs on the day of the fun and you can hide the eggs in a designated area of the park while the kids play on the playground. (Older children make great helpers when it comes to the hiding.)

3.       Enjoy a picnic afterwards.

Invite everyone to stay after the festivities for a picnic. You can invite folks to BYOF (bring your own food) or have families bring a side dish or salad to share.
