Growing up I loved taking part in Easter egg hunts with my siblings that my grandmother would plan for us. It didn't matter if we were in Richmond or if we were at the beach on Spring Break, she would always bring those plastic eggs with here so we could go on an egg hunt. Now that we are all older we don't participate in the egg hunt anymore on Easter Sunday but boy were those fun times! There are so many great ideas on how you can organize an egg hunt for kids today and even some great ideas on how to organize one for those who may have outgrown those matching Easter outfits (I know you all know exactly what I am talking about!). Here are some great tips on how you can put together the perfect Easter egg hunt for any age group.
1. Color coordinate your eggs.

If you have a large group of kids, especially of varying ages, color coordinating who searches for what egg is a great idea. You can hide the eggs according to the kid who will be searching for them. This way every kid will have fun during the egg hunt! Don't forget the color coordinating buckets as well!
2. An egg hunt doesn't have to be outside or during the day.

You don't have to have a big yard to host a successful egg hunt. You can have just as much fun hiding all your eggs inside for people to find (just don't forget to inform your guests where the off-limits areas are). Another fun spin on the traditional egg hunt is to host your egg hunt at night and give your egg hunters flashlights or use glow-in-the-dark eggs. This is a great option if you have a bunch of teenagers to hide eggs for.
3. Customize your egg surprises.

As we got older my grandmother changed out some of the candy she put in the eggs for coins (which my sister and I always loved finding) and other treats age appropriate. For an older group of egg hunters (or even adults) instead of candy you could fill some of your eggs with mini shooters, money, scratchers, gift certificates, or even movie tickets to go along with your traditional candy filled eggs.
4. Add confetti eggs.

Ever heard of cascarones? They are eggs filled with confetti and traditionally found at fiestas. However, you can usually find these anywhere that sells plastic eggs (I saw some at my local Kroger just last week). You could add these to your egg hunt with your normal eggs and if you find one you can break it on a fellow egg hunter and then get to steal one of their eggs from their basket.
