Easter - Egg Treasure Hunt

My daughter loves treasure hunts. I know of people who hide the Easter basket and the kids have to find them. We have never done that and I did not grow up that way. Instead, I think we are going to hide a treat that would otherwise be in her basket and send her on a scavenger hunt to find it.

We typically do our egg hunt in the family room. I am going to put clues in eggs and hide them in the basement play area. I like to do cute rhymes that tie into the holiday theme and take her from toy to toy until she finds the actual gift:

• "Hop, Hop, Hop goes the Bunny, To the Tree of someone who likes Honey" (My Friends Tigger & Pooh Changing Tree)
• "The bunny Hopped to the Food to be Chopped" (Melissa & Doug Food Slicing Set)
• "Here Comes Peter Cottontail, Hopping down the Bunny Trail, Right to the Potato Pail"(Her Mr Potato Heads are kept in a Pail)
• "Easter Bunny is my Name, Hiding Eggs is my Game" (In the closet where we keep the games)

I have not yet figured out all of the rhymes I will use, but some other ideas I have are 

• Egg to Leg, Beg, Egg
• Tail to Rail, Sail, Pail, Trail
• Bunny to Honey, Funny
• Ears to Dears, Fears, Gears, Tears
• Grass to Lass, Pass
• Chick to Pick

Have fun creating a treasure hunt for your child.
