Easter is sneaking up here quickly. April is going to be a particularly busy month at the Lane house. In addition to the holiday, Harrison’s birthday is in April AND we’ll be adding this third little one to our family…all within about two weeks of each other. I have been planning super early to make sure I’m ready for both celebrations in case little one decides they just can’t wait any longer.
I wanted to share how we did our Easter baskets last year because it was the most fun we’d had yet, and made the hunt last even longer. AND, I’m going to share how the Nathan and his family did Easter basket hunting as well, because I think it’s an amazing idea as well!
Our Easter Basket Hunt…
After the boys went to bed, the Easter Bunny took yarn in a specific color for each boy, and, starting at their bedroom door, thread the yarn all over the house. It went up high, it went down low. They criss-crossed each other all over the house. And the yarn ended at their Easter basket.
It’s also, worth noting, that it’s really hard to take a picture of what this look like….
We helped the boys in the morning each follow their yarn to find their Easter baskets, and they both loved the game!
How the Lanes Did Easter Baskets…
I equally loved how the Lanes did Easter baskets when they were little, too. They would come up with a scavenger hunt for each kid. Each one had a different color of Easter egg, and they would solve their scavenger hunt clues that would take them all over the house, until the very last clue would lead them to their Easter basket’s hidden spot.
I think that’s the coolest idea ever!
I can’t decide which way we’ll go with this year….yarn maze or scavenger hunt, but I think they both make the Easter basket hunt significantly more fun!
What other cool ideas or traditions do you have in your family for Easter??
