Easter Basket Hunt Clues that Will Sweeten Your Holiday
How to Create an Easter Basket Hunt Your Kids Will Love
The art of writing great Easter basket hunt clues is an art that only a few dedicated parents have perfected. For their lucky children, this is great news. For the rest of the children in the world, this is not such great news. If you want to be able to count your kids among the lucky few, try learning the art of writing great Easter basket hunt clues. To write great Easter basket hunt clues, you don't need a lot of specialized knowledge, a background in puzzle design, or even a knack for riddles. You really only need to know one thing to be able to write the very best kind of Easter basket hunt clues: you need to know your children well.
The key to writing great Easter basket hunt clues is writing clues that only your child could solve. This means that when you are writing Easter basket hunt clues, try to make as many references as possible to things that your child specifically says or does. For example, a great Easter basket hunt clue might describe a child's favorite food, leading the child to open the fridge and discover the next clue taped to the bottom of a carton of strawberries, slyly hiding in a cheese sandwich, or otherwise attached to the child's favorite food. This kind of specificity and creativity will delight your child.
If you've never tried writing Easter basket hunt clues before, or if you aren't sure that your kids would enjoy this kind of hunt, try testing the waters well in advance of Easter with a short hunt to celebrate a less important holiday. Find an occasion to celebrate, like if your child does well on a spelling quiz at school, or if your child makes it on to a sports team, or if your child keeps his or her room clean for a full week. Then, create a simple hunt with a few clues and a small prize at the end. If it goes well, that is a good sign that your family is ready to explore the world of Easter basket hunt clues.
If your test hunt doesn't go well, wait a year or two and then try again. Don't consider it a reflection on your skill at writing great Easter basket hunt clues, as even the best Easter basket hunt clues can be a bad fit for your family. Many families completely eschew the practice of writing and solving Easter basket clues in favor of an anything goes hunt where the parents hide candy everywhere and the children run through the house grabbing everything that they can find. For families with children too young to read clues or too wild to want to go through the long process of solving clue after clue, this kind of smash and grab chaos is the way to go. However, if you think your children might enjoy the detective work of solving great Easter basket hunt clues, this could be the perfect time to try it out.

My writing has been published in print, recorded on audio CD, and performed onstage, but there's nothing quite like working for the web. I love the freedom, flexibility, and fast pace of writing for AC. View profile
