Q&A for How to Find Easter Eggs in an Easter Egg Hunt

I recommend checking under the living room ottoman. It's a great hiding spot for an egg!

Look inside pots or any other containers that are out on the counter! Check under the table and other furniture, and in the cabinets and the refrigerator.

Try looking where the towels are kept and in cabinets, under the sink, etc.

If you are outside, bushes, shrubs, and trees make great hiding places. If you are inside, cabinets, behind pillows, and in small house plants are great hiding places.

Your brain is looking for things out of sight. When the eggs are in front of you, you don't notice because your brain naturally pushes objects in your immediate vision aside.

For big parties, use about 144 eggs or more. For less people, about 72 eggs. If it's just 2 or 3 people, 36 eggs would be enough.

Don't go too fast! Check the area carefully and take your time. Precision is key.

You can ask your friends to help you or start looking in spots that are more hidden and unexpected.

Check under things like cushions, bowls, tables, couches, plants and chairs if you're indoors. If you're outside, look in bushes, under flower pots, and by rocks.

There can never be too many eggs! Even if your kids say they get bored and there are still more eggs, chances are they will come back to the hunt later. Remember, there are prizes inside!

You'll only know how much money they have in them once you find and open them!

Start in one room, far away from other people so you have a better chance of getting more eggs. Then move on to other rooms, making sure that you have checked every nook and cranny.

Sometimes the best places to hid Easter eggs are the most obvious ones. Many people will be trying to look for them in places that they think someone would hide them in, but they don't think that someone would hide on in plain sight.

Make sure you look in places out of the way where other people aren't looking. Chances are they missed some. Make sure you search high and low, behind things, under things and on top of things. Just remember that they might not all be hidden - they might be staring right at you!

Don't let this stop you. Just keep going. If you are really bothered or annoyed, tell an adult.

Lead him to some other eggs and then run to the egg you want. If this doesn't work you can ask him nicely to stop and then find a trusted adult to handle the situation.

As long as someone is willing to hide some Easter eggs or other suitable chocolatey treats around your garden, yard or other safe place, you can still have an Easter egg hunt any time of the year. Of course, it will be harder to source Easter products outside of Easter season and not everyone will get into the spirit of it but you can still have fun with friends who think it's a fun thing to do!

It is actually best if your parents don't help you as the fun is in hunting for the eggs all by yourself and getting the reward of finding the eggs. If you really have trouble finding any eggs, ask your parents to play the game of "getting hotter, getting colder" to help direct you in the right direction. Just go out there and have the most fun you can!

With great care! Dogs cannot eat chocolate, as it's like poison to them and they can get very sick. If you want your dog to go egg hunting, have him on a leash so he can be held back from the chocolate treats wherever you find them. Another thing you could do is have someone else look after your dog and hold him back while you grab the eggs. Otherwise, Fido needs to stay at home if you cannot be sure he will be safe and not get to the chocolate.

Be quick but make sure you look thoroughly so you don't miss it. Also, go a different way to him so you can check places before he does.
