There you have it! 100 Indoor and Outdoor Easter Egg hiding spots. I hope this list gives you plenty of ideas for your best Easter Egg Hunt yet!
What do I put inside Easter Eggs?
There are so many cute items that can be added to those colorful eggs. Little kids love tinker toys, quarters and dimes, or loads of their favorite candy.
For the older kids, food items and cash always seem to do the drink.
If you’re feeling really adventurous, you can fill the plastic Easter eggs full of clues to lead the kids on a fun scavenger hunt.
The sky is the limit on what you can add! (just remember the weather – chocolate and heat don’t mix well!)
How do I know when the kids have found the last egg?
This is the one thing that is important to remember when hiding all those eggs. Keep count of how many you hid so that you can be certain when they’ve all been found.
I recommend printing a copy of this list and highlighting the places that you have hidden the eggs.
You can also make a quick map and mark the spots that you have hidden the eggs.
I had one year that I found an egg about two weeks later and forgot that I’d hidden it there! Keep a count in your head, and then have the kids count once the excitement has died down a bit and no one is finding any other eggs.
How do I hide eggs before the kids wake up?
This is all about balancing that talent of being a parent and the Easter Bunny at the same time. Some people have kiddos that go to bed early, and they use that time to hide the eggs around the house.
That only works if you have kids that will stay asleep through the night and not wake up and have an Easter egg hunt without you.
The easiest way that I have found to hide eggs before everyone wakes up, is to set my alarm and do it in the morning hours. I make a plan in my head about where I’m going to hide them, and I have them already filled and ready to hide.
That way, when the alarm goes off, I’m ready to move quickly and hide them in the perfect place.
