Easter Egg Hunt Safety Tips | Easter 2012

1. Remember to keep the eggs in a safe place. You want them to be well-hidden, true, but this doesn’t mean that kids have to be put to some discomfort when trying to get the egg that they have just spotted. Refrain from putting eggs in thorny areas when having your Easter egg hunt outdoors.

2. If you are having your Easter egg hunt indoors, then make sure to place the eggs far away from electrical outlets. You shouldn’t position them near any breakable items either, or put them too high up on shelves or cabinets. You want your little Easter egg hunters to get the eggs safely.

3. Make sure that kids slather on enough sunscreen and insect repellent for outdoor Easter egg hunts. They will be spending quite a bit of time outdoors while taking part in the game, and you want them to be safe and comfortable while doing so. Have them apply sunscreen and insect repellent as well for other outdoor games.

4. Just because Easter egg hunts are taking place inside your home doesn’t mean that everyone can run wild in it. Make sure that hiding places are restricted only to certain rooms of your house, so you don’t have kids getting into all of your rooms and potentially making a mess as they try to look for the eggs.

5. Be sure to ask parents about any allergies that their kids might have. You don’t want to serve food or fill eggs with treats that contain any ingredients that can put other people at risk. Make sure that you do this as part of your party planning process and when deciding on what treats to give away.

6. Be careful what you give out to little kids. Little toys and trinkets should be kept away from them as they could pose a choking hazard. Make sure that the items you are giving out are appropriate for the children’s ages and save bigger treats and toys for the really young kids.

An Easter egg hunt is a traditional and fun way to celebrate Easter and one that your kids will love. Keep it safe and everyone will have a great time.
