Easter Egg hunts are one of the most memorable things as a child during springtime and here are our top tips for making yours lots of fun for the whole family!

Don’t be daunted by organising one at home, Easter egg hunts require just a little forward planning but really aren’t too much hard work. Make sure you stock up things to hide a few days before like chocolate eggs (of course!) plus other goodies and think up some good hiding places. The final crucial bit of equipment is an attractive container for the hoard and boy have we got you covered! We have a range of crates that are perfect for smaller hands, click on the links below to take a look:

Even better, all of them can be personalised so you can add your special Easter message to it. Available in a range of colours, choose the perfect shade to make it a lasting decorative gift for storing memories long after the hunt.

We’ve spent many Easters in Greece where they celebrate big time. One of the big traditions is to paint the Eggs red. On Easter Sunday the idea is to find who has the strongest egg by smashing each others egg on the ends. Great fun and then of course the loser has to eat it!

Hiding the eggs requires a bit of thought – make sure your egg hunt is the right level of difficulty for your kids’ age group. Older kids will get bored if it’s too easy and younger kids might get frustrated if it’s too hard. If you have a mix of ages, then why not divide the garden into zones? Or perhaps add inflated balloons to the eggs so they’re easier for little ones to find? Our apple crates would certainly hold larger eggs and their balloons. Keep things safe by setting clear boundaries – no climbing onto fences or shed roofs for example.

So let’s get cracking – start by ticking your egg basket off by choosing from our wide range of gorgeous crates
