Okay so here’s the idea of the hunt- they get their first clue, which leads to the next, and so on until they find their Easter basket. This is a fun twist on what we think of as the traditional Easter egg hunt, and you could even incorporate that into this idea as well for a really fun Easter tradition.

You’ll want to print these basket hunt clues to start.

You can put these in any order you like with the exception of the first and last clues. Think about how your home is laid out and arrange it so that they don’t accidentally come across the basket before they find their last clue. You can also skip any cards that don’t apply to your home (such as the fire place).

The first step is selecting a basket! I try to find a more neutral colored basket that I may be able to re-use or re-purpose around the home. Last year my boys’ baskets were re-purposed for storage in their rooms. I love this basket and it would make an adorable base for a faux flower arrangement for Spring!

You can find lots of different baskets on Amazon, here.

Then, you want to pick out some fun basket “grass” and some cute accents. I picked out this paper grass in different shades of green, and a cute bow and chalkboard bunny tag for the name.

Then, pick out the best candy. These Easter candy “canes” are always a big hit at our house- pick whatever candy your little one loves.

We also try to include some non-candy items in our baskets.

Some other things you could include-

  • Books
  • Coloring/Activity Books
  • Board games
  • Toys (especially outdoor toys for Spring and Summer)
  • Clothes
  • New hygiene items

The possibilities are endless, but we really like getting them something that they will continue to use far past Easter.
