Article: . There are plenty of safe, easy ways to decorate eggs. Hard boil the eggs in advance, then have the children use crayons, food coloring and sponges, or paint to decorate the eggs. Children might want to keep their eggs once they've decorated them, so you might want to hide a separate group of decorated eggs for the egg hunt. Instead of letting the kids loose to find all the eggs at once, give them clues to each egg in turn. For a real "treasure hunt" feel, write the next clue inside each egg, and have the last egg hold gold chocolate coins as "pirate treasure." The clue could be a riddle, a hidden reference to an object in another room, or a reference to something the kids did once. For instance, an egg hidden in "the jungle" could be in the center of some houseplants, while an egg hidden "in the land of birthday cakes" could be on a cake stand in the fridge. Make a ramp out of a wooden plank leaning on a stack of books. Cover the ramp and floor with a blanket in case of broken eggs, then have each person release their egg from the top of the ramp. The person whose egg makes it farthest wins a prize. Have the kids line up in two or more rows. Each of them holds a spoon. Place an egg in the spoon of each kid first in line. When you say "Go!" each line has to move its egg to the end of the line without the egg touching anything but the spoons. If an egg falls, you can either put it back on the first spoon or let the kids try to pick it up with only the spoons. While the kids can literally race their Easter eggs by pushing them with their noses, hopping while holding them, or another method, this race is more suited to an indoor location.
