Indoor Easter Egg Hunt

Stirring from my slumbers yesterday, and realising that it was Good Friday and therefore a holiday, I decided that it would be a real treat to go out for breakfast. One of my favourite venues is our local garden centre where they serve local fresh produce and the most delicious bread.

In anticipation of this tasty treat I quickly dressed, jumped in the car, and headed out with my other half. Arriving in no time at all we were dismayed at the sight of parking attendants directing traffic to the overflow car park. Suspicions aroused we pulled into the entrance and asked why it was so busy. Ahhhh…. said the man in the hi-viz jacket, that’ll be the Easter Egg Hunt.

It seems that Easter has become big business over the past few years and there is every opportunity to decorate your home with colourful eggs, chicks, bunting, bunnies, and baskets, and of course, lovely fresh spring flowers.

It was great to see our local garden centre so busy and I joined in by buying some decorative eggs from there vast display.

Easter is a great time of year to be in the garden but the weather can often be unpredictable. To save disappointment an indoor easter egg hunt can be a fun filled alternative. With a list of canny clues to solve and a trail of decorative eggs to follow this can be just as much fun as collecting eggs from the garden.

Here are some of the clues from last year’s indoor hunt.

Indoor Easter Egg Hunt Clues

Hello boys, we’ve got a game to play

Here’s an egg each to get you on your way

Read this carefully and follow the clues

Just one hint, you won’t need your shoes.

Clue 9

Number 9 should be easy to clock
Look behind the tick-tock tick-tock

Clue 10

Number 10 could delay you boys
As I think it’s hidden in the cupboard with the toys

Clue 11

Are you exhausted yet?
As there are only two more eggs to collect
Check the side table on you right
As the purple bowls could reveal another delight

Clue 12

One more egg and the game is won
But where from here now this room is done?
Look in the hall for the umbrella stand
There should be an egg that is to hand.

Well done boys for finding eggs a dozen.

Your prize today is a chocolate fountain!

We did indeed round off the hunt with a chocolate fountain but a fondue is a much more convenient alternative. Both, however, have the benefit of being accompanied by fresh fruit such as strawberries, raspberries, and banana, or marshmallows and biscuits.
