Our kids are too old to be distracted in the morning but young enough to want to hunt in the garden/ weather looks stormy and 90% chance of rain at midnight ! As I have been up since 6am don’t really want to hide eggs out at 3am - advice pls!

Find an Easter Bunny video they can watch in the morning while you quickly put then out?

are you American? Are you pretending the Easter bunny hides eggs?

if in the uk just tell the kids its wet and windy and you will hide them in the morning

I once put them out the night before and they got nibbled by rodents!

We have just had this same conversation - I’m hiding mine round the house in all the rooms -
not quite the same but I don’t think outside is found to work!

Can't you just tell them they need to stay in the lounge while you put the eggs out or the game won't work? How old are they?

I put them out overnight once and slugs / snails got to them! Don’t recommend ever doing this. Do an indoor hunt.

Can't you hide them in the house?
