Setting Up a Fun-Filled DIY Easter Egg Hunt | What Do I Need?
A Spacious Location
Whether you’re hosting an Easter egg hunt at home, in your back garden or at the local park, our easy Easter egg hunt ideas can ensure that your event caters to all, no matter how big or small your gathering may be.
Treats, Treats & More Treats!
As a general rule of thumb, when it comes to setting up a DIY Easter egg hunt, more is more. After all, the last thing you want is your group of explorers coming back to you in 5 minutes with nothing but one tiny plastic egg in each of their baskets. To make sure your hunt provides plenty of fun, make sure your home, garden or public space is filled to the brim with hidden treats.
Top Tip: Remember, the hunt doesn’t end until the final egg is found. So, to avoid any delays in announcing a winner, make sure you count the eggs before you hide them!
Personalised Easter Baskets
If you really want to elevate this year’s egg-hunting shenanigans, personalised baskets for your group of bunnies could be the way to go.
Decorating Easter egg hunt baskets doesn’t have to see you sacrificing serious time and money – it can be part of the fun! To create unique baskets, all you’ll need is some acrylic paint, glue and glitter. Simply let your eager egg-hunters loose to paint and decorate their baskets using their favourite colours before they get to the important business of searching!
Easter Egg Hunt Prizes
Now, here comes the most important part – prizes for the winners! Depending on how kind you’re feeling, you can offer a prize to everyone taking part, or just the most talented scavenger.
Our Seasonal Easter range is yet to be announced but keep your eyes peeled…
Alternative Easter Egg Hunt Ideas
So, we’ve got the basic components of a DIY Easter egg hunt – now it’s time to make it your own. At Piglet’s Pantry, we love adding a unique touch to every occasion, and an Easter egg hunt is no different!
Golden Egg Hunt
Do you want to take your Easter Egg hunt to a whole new level?
Before you begin the festivities, sit your participants down and explain to them that there is one golden egg hidden among the rest. The person who finds the golden egg will receive a special prize.
You might choose to hide the golden egg in a more tricky location, or disguise it as something else so it’s harder to spot. Adding an extra layer of excitement to your Easter Egg hunt is sure to boost enjoyment for everyone involved, no matter how young or old!
Colour-Coded Easter Scavenger Hunt
If you’re a sucker for organisation and are attempting to plan an Easter egg hunt at home, a colour-coded scavenger hunt is the perfect alternative for you.
All you need to do is assign different colours to each participant and have them only collect eggs that are that colour. The person to collect all of their designated colour first is the winner. This can be especially helpful if you have bunnies of different ages – it allows you to tailor the egg hiding places to individual finding abilities.
Alternatively, you could make it even harder by encouraging participants to sabotage their opponents’ chances of winning, hiding their eggs in trickier locations if they spot them along the way!

Quick Easter Egg Hunt FAQs
How many eggs should I hide for an Easter egg hunt? More than you think! A good rule of thumb is at least 10–15 eggs per child, so nobody finishes in the first five minutes.
What’s a fun twist on the classic Easter egg hunt? Riddle hunts, colour-coded hunts and reward eggs are all easy ways to keep things interesting for older kids and adults alike.
When should I plan my Easter egg hunt for 2027? Easter Sunday 2027 falls on 28th March, so most hunts take place over the Easter bank holiday weekend, 26–29 March.
