Easter Scramble & Easter Egg Hunt Ideas

Hide Goodies in Plastic Eggs

Look into my Easter Bunny Globe

Try to find the Grand Prize in the Plastic Egg

This year Easter is March 27th. Children love when Easter comes because they get to visit the Easter Bunny and take photos, decorate eggs, have Easter egg hunts, and more. I used to have my daughter and nieces search for plastic eggs and I would hide goodies in them. Whether it was jelly beans, chocolate eggs, stickers or even money. I would put anywhere from a penny to a $20.00 bill. However much they found is what they won. You can always go the traditional route and boil eggs and have the children decorate them.

This year after the kids have decorated their eggs. Give them an activity to do. I have created an Easter Scramble FREE for you to download and print (please see link below) as many times as you like or share. Have children unscramble the words in a certain amount of time, whoever unscramble the most words wins a prize. While they are unscrambling words you can go out and hide all of those adorable decorated Easter eggs for the Easter Egg Hunt.

What are some party ideas/activities you do for Easter?

5 Reasons to Have a Party This Spring

Today is March 20, 2016, the 1st day of Spring. Spring is one of my favorite seasons because there are plenty of reasons to have a party not to mention the weather is not too hot and not too cold. The April Showers brings the May flowers. Spring brings so many reasons to celebrate and have a party. Five occasions  you should start thinking about now on how you will celebrate.

1. Easter – March 27th. Time for Easter Brunches, Dinners, Easter Egg Coloring, Easter Egg hunt and more. Getting all the spring colors together to dye those dozens of eggs you need to boil or buying plastic eggs to hide little treasures in and hide so the little kids can jump for joy. The possibilities are endless.
2. Spring Break – Depending where you live spring break for the kids in April. If you are not going away on vacation for spring break you have to think of little ideas to do at home to keep the little ones occupied. Why not throw a movie themed party. Make popcorn, cupcakes, and more.
3. Mother’s Day – May 8th. I am a mom and of course I have a mom and I am thankful that she is still living. It’s a great day to honor your mom or someone who has raised you or has been like a mom to you. Whether it’s your aunt, sister, mom, anyone who is a mother. Bring them altogether and make breakfast for them. Bring them flowers or fruit flowers from edible arrangements. Have a lunch/dinner party. Have the kids perform there many talents for them, make a talent show!
4. Graduations – It’s a huge accomplishment and should be recognized by having a graduation party.  May and June brings flowers and sunshine. It’s time to bring the parties outdoors with a barbecue. That’s right if you haven’t brought out the grill. It’s time to clean the grill. Have a cookout and bring family and friends together to celebrate the Grad. Find out the grads school colors. If they are going off to college find out the college school colors. If not use their high school colors. If they are graduating from Pre-K decorate in their favorite colors. Get a photo booth or create your own with your own backdrop and  your own props. Play games such as bingo, cards, field day games, scavenger hunt, water balloon fight and more.
5. Memorial Day – May 30th. Celebrate by honoring our Civil War Heroes. Now that your grill is cleaned it’s time for another cookout. Red, white and blue theme!  You can bring the colorful strawberries, blueberries, and bananas to make a colorful fruit salad highlighting the red, white and blue theme. You can decorate cupcakes with red and blue. Play bingo, cards, and more. You can also break out the photo props for some creative memories.

Do you see why I love Spring so much. Several events that you can be held outdoors or indoors. The weather is beautiful and the birds begin to chirp. Get ready to do your spring cleaning and prepare for your events. Stay tuned for more party ideas and templates that you can enjoy for the above parties.
