I went out and hid 6 little eggs with bunnies so Lily could easily find them. It was as much of a bunny hunt as Easter egg hunt. I hid them in the plants and the bushes and in a few easy places like our windowsil where Lily would easily find them. On went the welly boots, on went our coats and Easter baskets in hand out we went! Lily was very excited.
Lily did really well at spotting the bunnies. She first found the one in the flower pot. But she wasn't to keen on the idea of pulling it out as the weeds growing in it were very wet. So mummy had to get it out for her. The second one she spotted was up in the bushes, which again she didn't want to reach out as didn't want wet hands. She is a little bit of a softie when it comes to things like getting wet.
She was super excited to have found some and so when I handed her the eggs she put them in her basket. She then said more eggs and so I encouraged her to look for more bunnies. Eventually she found one down in some plants and then on the windowsil. It wasn't long before Lily had all her eggs in her basket and was so excited at how many she had found.
The egg hunt didn't last long. 10 minutes at the most but she loved every second of it. We then went inside and I let her eat one of her eggs. It just shows that you have got to make the most of what you have got and any little activity can be fun.
Did you do an Easter egg hunt?
We did but I fell asleep so my little girls Grandma took care of it :P Aparently it went well but she didn't believe the Easter bunny sorted it. She knew it was Grandma!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great egg hunt 😊 sounds like there was lots of fun and such lovely photos to be treasured forever 😊
ReplyDeleteUsing the bunnies is such a good idea! We didn't have an egg hunt at home, but my daughter had one during holiday club and on Easter Sunday at church. I did one for her in our front garden last year. She enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteAww lovely pictures love to see the little ones doing this I think at this age it's exciting finding things.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea using the bunnies to help!
ReplyDeleteFun fun fun
ReplyDeleteLily looks like the bunny who DID get all the chocolate☉☉
Oh bless her, she looks like she enjoyed herself. We did our Easter Egg hunt yesterday and it was quite funny as the children had 10 eggs each to find and they both found 8 and none of us could actually find the other 2 each they had for ages. They really enjoyed it
ReplyDeleteaw i love the idea of the bunnies as markers for the eggs thats great for the younger children, no we still have an egg hunt to do this weekend with our grandson as he was at his dads for Easter this year.
ReplyDeleteExcellent approach to the hunt :) we just hid eggs around the garden but that's much better :)
ReplyDeleteLily is awesome! She has to most expressive face and can see how proud she is that she found her eggs.
ReplyDeleteLily is enjoying herself <3 glad she had a wonderful day xx
ReplyDeleteAww Lily looks like she has fun. We had an egg hunt too. Kids loved it
ReplyDeleteLooks like she had loads of fun!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea using the bunnies to mark the eggs. We didn't do an egg hunt with my little girl because she went on one with her nan whilst we were working and I didn't want to overload her with yet more chocolate. I'm sad I missed out though x
ReplyDeleteWe went to my brothers house in Barry Island and every year we paint eggs and roll them down the hills . kids look forward to this xx
ReplyDeleteAw looks fun.
ReplyDeleteAww what a cutie!! My son is only 20 months and doesn't get the Easter concept quite yet so decided not to do any hunts. Love how your daughter is scared to get her hands in and wet, that's adorable! I'm a big believer in whatever the weather so good on you for just getting on with it!! #countrykids
ReplyDeleteI love the bunnies as markers! I'm so glad the rain stopped long enough for you to have an egg hunt it looks like Lily was having loads of fun. I was a chicken (Excuse the pun) and we had our egg hunt indoors!

Ohh bless her finding her little bunnies, she looks as happy as can be. Mich x #countrykids
ReplyDeleteLooks fun! My daughter had Chicken Pox over Easter so all our plans changed
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of those bunnies showing her the way and it looks like she had a fab time #countrykidsfun
ReplyDeleteWell done, she looks thrilled with her egg haul and the little bunnies are lovely. We did a little hunt in our ride on play area for all our younger holiday guests then a giant one across the farm for the older children. They are always lots of fun, after all who doesn't like searching for chocolate? I think you will be in for another hunt next year.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with me on #CountryKids
No. Easter Egg Hunt hasn't been a family tradition for us. Though your Easter Egg Hunt looks good, and I may consider something similar in the future. We went to a gathering held by church Minister, we met up top of a hill, dawn ( cloudy this year. Though have done this previously, and it is really lovely to watch the SunRise. Especially as a group at Easter, also Beautiful view when weather allows / permits). Short Service held, thereafter we went to church hall to have Breakfast together :- Delightful. Nice to spend time sharing Refreshments, having a chat etc.

Awww bless her. My eldest loved doing an Easter egg hunt this year too. #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteThose bunnies are really cute! I try and do one with Monkey each year, he always asks for it and I am sure one of hi earliest memories involves finding hidden chocolate as he was quite young the first time we did it. Gorgeous photos x #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteLily looks very pleased with her finds, we moved in September so finally have a garden so I will be doing a hunt next easter,, Mollie will be 13 months and if she's walking she can join in too, she's already very confident at 9 months on her feet so I think she will be xx
