Scavenger Hunt Clue Ideas

To add some extra fun to Easter this year, why not turn the same boring old hunt into an Easter treasure hunt? There are numerous ways this can be done, all a lot of fun for the whole family!

Buy larger sized plastic Easter eggs than you would normally use. These can be found in craft stores, dollar stores, and sometimes even in your local grocery store. Different sizes can be found and used in this game, so make sure you buy eggs that will fit the requirements. Use the plastic eggs to fill with items that can be used for ingredients for baking cookies! Of course, you probably will not be able to fill an egg with flour or sugar, but you can use things such as pastel colored candies for baking, sprinkles, decorative icing, and edible decorations. Write down your cookie recipe and cut it into sections, making sure to number each part so you do not forget the order in which they go. Use these cut sections to hide in smaller Easter eggs. Once all of the recipe clues and ingredient items have been found, let the kids do the baking! They should be supervised of course, but let this be their activity and they will have a great time making cookies and being creative. For smaller children, using pre-made or store bought cookie dough may be a better idea, letting them decorate the cookies to their heart’s content.

You might even consider letting the older kids bake clues into the cookies for friends and family who might visit later in the day! Fortune cookie paper can be found in a craft store, and this can be used for writing down clues. For more fun ideas like this, visit RiddleMe.net and check out their website and software!
