Easter egg hunts don’t just happen over night as most people would believe, and a lot of people believe that because boiling an egg just doesn’t take that long. In truth the time honored tradition of boiling and then decorating Easter eggs has pretty much been replaced because of the vast variety of pre-decorated and pre-filled eggs that are out in masses in stores and online.
Treasure hunts are a blast, we all know that, right? They’re a great way to have fun with our kids. But how about getting the neighbors involved and helping you and your children develop new relationships and stronger ties in the community?

Scavenger Hunt Clues
When I think of scavenger hunts, I think of the “old school” ones that you just don’t see much of anymore. Anyone remember when a neighborhood boy or girl would come to your door – usually a little out of breath – and ask you for a cup of flour? And boy, did they need it in a hurry! You see, winning a scavenger hunt in our neighborhood was a pretty big deal. And even today – if done well – I believe scavenger hunts can be a wonderful tool for getting to know your neighbors and educating your children. And most importantly, FUN!
