The Best Easter Egg Hunt

Easter is an integral part of the Christian belief system. It is an impact full time of remembrance where Christians reflect on the gift of sacrifice and eternal life. They then hide these eggs for the kids to find. What, then, are these kids supposed to do with the eggs once they find them? Are they going to eat them? Most kids at Easter time are more interested in candy and toys than they are in eating real, hard boiled eggs, no matter what color they've been painted.

This Easter, give them an Easter egg hunt they'll never forget and skip the real eggs. Instead, get a pack of plastic eggs, the kind that pop apart into two halves. That way, you can stuff them with whatever you want. This is great for the kids because not only do they get to participate in the Easter egg hunt but they also get to keep whatever they find inside the eggs they find.

It is the story of how Jesus Christ took on the sins of the world and obediently and purely out of love, laid down his fears and pain, and gave his life for those that are willing to accept the gift of eternal life. For example, you can fill the eggs with candy, money, trinkets, toys, or whatever else you choose. The money part doesn't need to be a lot, even a dollar is a lot of money to small child, but it's the excitement it creates that makes it for one fun Easter egg hunt. By shopping at the dollar store, you can find all sorts of things to fill your plastic eggs with. You'll probably end up spending less than you would had you used real eggs with Easter egg coloring kits, and the kids will have much more fun than if you would have used real eggs.

When you are planning an Easter egg hunt, you want it to be difficult for the children but not impossible. Don't hide the Easter eggs on top of anything tall, for instance, so that the children can't even reach them. A better place to hide them is under chairs, behind the couch, on the stairs, or anywhere that will force them to look but just make sure it's not so easy that the Easter egg hunt is over in a couple of seconds.

The Easter story isn't just about the death, though that is the key asset to the gift of eternal life; it's about the resurrection. Jesus promised that he would rise again on the third day to show the world that he paid the price for their sins. This was the finish to his purpose in life, he died, and by rising again he showed that his death was exactly what he said it would be, a payment.
