Egg hunts are one of the Easter traditions enjoyed in many countries, such as in the US, France, and Germany. It got so well known that it is one of the most exciting practices one can look forward to during the festival, and the popularity can be attributed to the hidden chocolate eggs. The game goes like this: people hide colorful eggs and children (or adults!) go search for them. These days, the eggs can be more than just chocolates, to surprise or to make the hunt more fun, toy eggs are used so children can find surprises in different eggs.
Why do you need surprise eggs?
Who doesn’t love toys and surprises? Yes, yes, we know chocolate bunnies and eggs are delicious, but children do love nice surprises, and they love toys, so why not combine those two and enhance egg hunts to a truly egg-xiting level?
Make egg hunts more fun!
Which is why we are suggesting you place small sized egg toys among the chocolate eggs – it creates more fun memories, and it motivates the children to try to find eggs harder.
You can tell them – hey, this time around, we have more than just chocolate! There are toys inside the eggs, we are sure such an announcement would spark lights in their eyes!
Small toys – the perfect treasures to hide in eggs
You can see a lot of fun small toys available in the market – and they come in different colors in shapes! Just a quick search on the Internet will lead you to the colorful world of small toys. They are so tiny that we are sure you won’t have a problem fitting them into eggs. Such toys can be very educational too – they can play music, which leads them to be curious about songs, they can be teaching words… so you don’t have to worry that it’s all gonna be so many toys with the same purpose, you can vary the choices to make it more fun! Not to mention, because of the small sizes, they can be stored easily after being found!
Collect all the toys!
One of the biggest reasons you should incorporate toys into the game of egg hunting is that you can make it a fun challenge – a collection of different toys, children can be encouraged to collect or exchange with their friends, team work makes the dream work!
And you can extend the fun beyond just Easter – it can be a monthly game, or you can have a theme for each month. For Easter, the theme can be tied to bunnies, maybe in the summer, it can be more season-related. That way, you know what you need to get on a regular basis, and children have something to look forward to!
