Egg your neighbors for Easter? Yes! Especially when it involves a fun egg hunt for the kids and a reminder or the true meaning behind Easter. This is a perfect family activity because there is a way for kids of all ages to be involved and it’s a great way to share the holiday with your neighbors!
Here are the simple steps:
1. Create a sign for the door with the following message:
YOU’VE BEEN EGGED!
In your yard are 12 Easter eggs. Eleven are filled with Easter items.
One of the eggs is empty, but don’t be sad.
Be happy when you are reminded of Jesus’ empty tomb and the true meaning of this Easter holiday.
Love, Your Neighbors
Get creative with your sign. Use colored paper, let the kids decorate with crayons, glitter and more!
2. Fill 11 plastic eggs with toys or candy. **Leave the 12th egg empty**
We also bought fun burlap sacks, Easter grass, and name tags to hang with the sign. This gives the kids a basket to use when finding their eggs. To save money and time, you can skip this step.
3. Put the sign** in your neighbor’s yard and, if you decide to include a basket, put it on the doorstep. Then hide all 12 eggs.
You can make arrangements with your neighbor to keep the kids busy so you can hide the eggs in the yard. Then when you are done, you can go and let them hunt for the eggs.
Have fun bringing a tradition to your neighborhood that can be used for years to come!
