Easter is about the time in which we can finally get out of the house and experience the great outdoors once again after being cooped up inside all winter therefore you need this amazing outdoor Easter Egg Hunt Clues printable to have some glorious family fun.
We love putting together an outdoor Easter egg hunt. Whether it’s for family and friends or as part of a local Easter gala. Having had much experience over the past decade or so, I’ve come to know a thing or two about planning an outdoor easter egg hunt and where to leave the all important easter egg clues.
Where To Hide Easter Egg Hunt Clues
Depending on the location you’ve got to work with there’s a whole host of different places you could hide easter eggs.
Much like the complexity of the easter egg clues it’s important that you adjust the hiding spaces based on the children’s ages to avoid them being too complex or hard to reach. After all we want this to be a fun activity for everyone when they are using the outdoor Easter Egg hunt clues printable.
Consider any dangerous areas of the grounds or anywhere in the garden you might not want to be damaged from running feet.
If you’re working with a large number of children try and avoid isolated areas. This may cause accidents with children all running to the same small area. Instead, consider splitting them into teams or groups, each following a different set of clues.
You can adjust the number of teams depending on the size of the group to try and minimise the amount of children all running to one zone.
Outdoor Easter Egg Hunt Clue Ideas
Depending on where you plan to hide your easter eggs you’ll then need associated clues to direct the kids on where to find their next clue or prize.
As well as connecting the clue to the desired location you should also think about the complexity of the clue. Clues will need to be adjusted depending on the age of the children playing.
Clues I tend to work with and adjust based on the ages and prize locations are;
- Bird feeder – Filled with seeds and put up high, my diners come down from the sky
- Tree – Avoid me in thunder, but take shelter under my branches in the rain.
- BBQ – I’m an outside kitchen used to cook you up a feast.
- Car – I have four tyres and sit on your drive
- Hose – A large one of me is used by firemen
- Swing – I’m a chair on two pieces of rope
- Doormat – I’m at the entrance on the floor
- Flower Pot – I hold flowers and am often watered
- Garage door – The largest moving door attached to the house
What To Put Inside Reusable Easter Eggs
You may want to include an alternative to or alongside traditional chocolate easter eggs. In which case I’ve found small reusable easter eggs work really well.
I use party bag style fillers to pop things inside these eggs. This not only makes the prizes affordable but increases the chances of everyone getting some sort of prize by the end of the hunt.
The fillers I’ve included in the past are;
- Stickers
- Money (£1 coin for example)
- Pin badges
- Erasers
- Bouncy balls
- Sweets
- Crayons/colouring pencils
- Snap bands
- Teddys/plushes
- Keyring
- Wall crawlers
- The idea of having pin badges inside the Easter eggs is awesome and we can customize Easter style pins. Custom enamel pin can be customized with Easter elements or any pattern you like. These can be given as Easter gifts to friends and family or can be pinned to your clothes and bags. Simply practical and economical.

We’re having a little Easter egg hunt this year – I can’t wait!
I love the idea of the clues. My girls aren’t patient enough for clues yet but in years to come we might be able to make it more elaborate!
Great minds think alike. My boys have always loved Easter Egg Hunts
Clues go down well here too. There were complaints that we’d made them too easy last year.
I love your printable! It’s really cute with the Easter-themed pictures and the clues that would work in any house 🙂 Pinning now x
I’m going to make our egg hunt a little harder next year with clues to find the eggs. This printable will make it so much easier – thank you!
