Easter Egg Hunt Activities

As we were walking the final few kilometres to the car on our hike, Aoife and Ella were ahead deep in conversation. It turns out they decided they wanted to plan an easter egg hunt for some littler kids. We told them to come up with a proposal and present it to us at the cafe.

Anyway we generally agreed to the idea and suggested they plan the hunt for the following afternoon. Wondering who they were going to invite,  the list dwindled from 20 (lots of people away being Easter), to the Candy family - Jessica and Lewys. The location then switched from our place to Aoife's house taking advantage of the bigger backyard and with hot weather forecast, the pool! Aoife and Ella continued to liaise over the phone during the afternoon, making arrangements and preparations! There were costumes (including bunny ears), bunny footprints, easter baskets to be constructed.

The next day,  Ella requested that she be dropped over early to Aofie's to allow time for the final set up. The guests were instructed to wait at the top of the driveway. Aoife gave Lewys, Jessica and Katy their baskets and pointed out the chalk bunny footprints and the kids were off. Once inside, the bunny chalk footprints changed into black cut out prints which wove through the lounge room to the back door.

Outside, the black rabbit (Ella) made an appearance, dropping easter eggs as she hopped away! Eagerly the kids collected the chocolate eggs! Ella was clever to double back on herself, picking up any missed eggs and re dropping them in front of the kids. Soon however all the eggs were collected and the kids were directed inside for the next activity!

In the kitchen, the white bunny (Aoife) instructed the kids on how to dye a boiled egg. A nice array of coloured eggs were produced without any spillage of the food colouring water!

We enjoyed an afternoon tea of cake, fruit and chocolate before taking a refreshing dip in the pool! All up it was a wonderful afternoon with Aoife and Ella received accolades for all their hard work in producing a fun time for others!
