Creative Easter Fun!

At our house the Easter Bunny delivers lots and lots of eggs. Those eggs sometimes appear before Easter morning. They decorate cute areas all over our house.
There has got to be something fun you can do with ALL those Easter eggs???
With the help of my cute boys, we came up with a few EGG-games you can do with your kids.

Egg Toss

Find a spot where you can toss a bunch of plastic eggs around, and not break or tip things over. A hallway is the perfect spot. That way the eggs are contained to a small spot and don’t go flying around the room. The narrow Hallways make it easier for the kids to throw the eggs back and forth and collection easy!
We marked the first line on one end of the hallway with blue painters tape. We then marked the other end line the same way. We measured to the middle of the two lines and placed an blue tape X to mark it.
The eggs were given out and a bucket was placed on the blue X. The kids started trying to toss the eggs into the bucket. If they missed it would roll to the other person. If they made it we would all clap and cheer!
When the bucket is full and all the eggs are gone, you all win!! You can dump it out and play again.

Long Distant Toss
The goal with this game is to increase the distance from the player to the bucket. The player starts off at one end of the room or hallway. That starting point could be marked with blue tape. The bucket is placed about a foot away from the player. Then after every egg is thrown, the bucket is moved another foot away. Move the bucket until you reach a wall.
Egg Hide and Go Seek
This is perfect for two players. Player one is given 4-8 eggs. They are asked to go and hide them around the house, or in a specific area. While player one is hiding, player two is hiding their eyes. When player one is done, player two goes and finds the eggs. When player two has found all the eggs, the game starts again. Player two hides eggs, while player one hides their eyes. It is so fun and the kids love hiding them in different spots, and fun places.

All the games were really fun, and we had a great time as a family. I really had to be active with the game, because my boys could get out of control. As long as I participated they did really good!

Enjoy!
