What better way to practice letter recognition then with a plastic egg letter recognition hunt! Princess hid the eggs around the living room since it was under 30 degrees outside and muddy in the backyard. Big Red and Lil’ Red both had fun hunting for the eggs.
After all of the eggs were collected it was time to crack them open to see which letter was inside. I used tiny letter erasers that I have had for years along with a laminated alphabet mat. I created the alphabet mat with small 1″ vinyl letters on black construction paper.

Got super yucky weather scheduled for your Easter egg hunt day? No, problem just keep the egg hunt indoors. We have only had to have indoor Easter egg hunts a couple of times. Once due to freezing cold and once due to a ton of rain. No one wanted to get their nice dress clothes messed up.
Tip #1 ONLY use plastic eggs. Do not use real eggs. I’ll repeat that DO NOT USE REAL EGGS unless you want to find it a month later by smell. Yep, we made that mistake ONCE while growing up an will never do that again!
Tip#2 Have a couple of other fun activities like coloring pages or bubbles ready. Add a willing uncle to blow said bubbles to make it MORE fun!
Tip#3 Be sure that everyone has similar amount of eggs which equals similar amount of prizes or candy. We have remedied this by giving each child 6 eggs with their own design and then all the plain eggs are bonus or fair game for anyone. This give the kid’s a challenge to find their particular eggs and allow the hiders to hide eggs to the child’s age and ability.
Tip #4 Have fun. Be safe. Check on kids to be sure cousins are playing nice:) You never know how much or little sleep the kids have gotten. Be sure to check the egg hunt area for safety hazards like outlets and poisonous plants before the hunt begins.
Tip #5 Don’t be surprised if a little mess happens! Sometimes little kids get excited and make messes. Be prepared to have some mess depending on the types of items in your baskets and what prizes you give for the egg hunt.
Hopefully these tips will help you have a fun, safe, and successful indoor egg hunt!
