Keep your little ones entertained this Easter with our top tips on how to create the perfect Easter egg hunt at home.
Hazel Ball, founder of interiors website Velvet Brown lends us her top tips on how to create a fun, bunny bunting game to play with your little spring chickens this Easter. The bunny theme can be swapped for anything from woodland creatures to pirates – perfect for a treasure hunt at your child’s next birthday party.

Make Your Bunnies
If you are not confident at drawing a bunny shape for your bunting try downloading a template from the Internet – activityvillage.co.uk has a good selection.


What You’ll Need
- Pens and Pencils
- Thin, coloured card in different colours
- Scissors
- Ribbon
- Chocolate Eggs


Colours
Easter is a great excuse to go cute and pretty so choose lovely pastel shades for your bunting and clues such as pink, lilac, blue and cream.


What To Use
Don’t use very thick card for your bunting as you will need to be able to makes holes with a hole punch to thread the ribbon through.


Create Your Clues
If you’re worried you don’t have neat hand writing try printing your clues off from a computer. This way you can use pretty fonts and if you have a colour printer you can colour co-ordinate your clues to tie in with your bunny colour theme.


Hanging Your Bunting
If you are concerned about hanging temporary decorations as you don’t want to mark your walls, I suggest using hooks from the Command™ Products range. Command™ Hooks will give you the flexibility to hang everything exactly where you want them to go and best of all you can easily remove them all after Easter without leaving any damage to your paintwork or walls. The Command™ Micro Hooks and Decorating Clips are particularly good for hanging lightweight items such as bunting and simple bunny card clues.


Alternative Themes
Alternative ideas for your Easter Egg Hunt theme could be carrots made from orange card with some green felt for the leaves, or chicks made from yellow card with some orange felt for a beak. Or why not alternate and try a combination of all three?


Making Your Clues
Here are some ideas for your bunny bunting clues:
“In the room where dinner is eaten. Behind the object that gives us light. What will you find?”
“In the room where cakes are made. In the object that keeps butter cold. What will you find?”
