Make Easter Treats More Fun with a Simple Scavenger Hunt

by 2 Comments

easter scavenger hunt printablesI have to admit I almost forgot about Easter happening this year (or at least about exactly when it was happening).

In the past I’ve done my own scavenger hunts that led to the Easter basket (when it might have been too cold or wet to do a full hunt outside) but this year I just might use this printable Easter scavenger hunt from My Sister’s Suitcase.

It’s easy enough that even little kids should be able to solve it with help reading, and older kids can easily do it on their own.

Do you ever do scavenger hunts instead of or along with an Easter egg hunt? I’d love to hear about it!
