With Easter just around the corner, I was curious if you have/had any family traditions?
Now that my son is a little older, we’ve fallen out of the habit, but we would often have an easter egg treasure hunt around our home.
I hide 5-6 small treats in different locations with clues telling him where to look next, a chocolate egg would then be waiting in the final room. I’d have him zigzagging across our home, garden and sometimes even the car.
I’m sure he thinks he’s far too grown up for this kind of thing, but I suspect he’d be running around just as enthusiastically if present him with the first clue.
Do/did you have any family traditions at this time of year?
We too have had Easter egg hunts, as you describe. When the children were young, it was with small drawings of the next place to look. We had an egg hunt having an Easter party - then the children looked for Easter eggs in the garden, finding puzzle pieces they needed to assemble at the end. The puzzle was made of a cardboard A3-size where I’d written where the end point was. That way the kids went to the end point together (avoiding that the oldest got the most ).
The «kids» are actually home for Easter now, and declared last night that they are in no way too old for an Easter egg hunt, despite being adults. So here we go again, I guess…
I had planned to share some photos of the “easter nest” cakes I was planning to make last night, but my grocery delivery was missing the essential ingredient (Shredded Wheat)! I ended up just eating my mini eggs as they were.
I don’t really have any Easter traditions, but I did love making those cakes when I was younger.
