I really must get going. My DDs have had a trail (around the house so I can set it up the night before and not worry about the weather) for enough years that it has now become a family tradition.

I have a vase full of little bits and pieces (mini choc bunnies etc) that I've picked up for the purpose and need to write and set out the clues for the different places for them to find them (on the windowsill, in the piano stool etc - not brain science!) and I can't be BOTHERED!

Oh dear.

I still have to do one. DCs are in their 20s [bugrin]

hippo Thats even more pathetic than my chucking eggs round the living room! Grin

No, Agent, they are 8 and 11.

Hippo - don't raise the bar for the rest of us.....

It started as a way of encouraging their reading when DD1 could first read (and DD2 would toddle after her following the clues). They have cute baskets from their Grandparents and really look forward to it.

Still haven't moved from arse though.

I want to do one but as DD is only thirteen months it may be too soon [buwink]

hippoCritt · 08/04/2012 15:44

I have dutifully done all the clues, just hope I have hidden them in the right order. Easter bunny has to revisit due to problems last night

2kidsintow · 08/04/2012 18:08

I got my order wrong! 10 clues. One main egg each and 9 easter goodies (stickers, mini easter coins etc) and 10 egg shaped clue cards. After clue 5 I heard them read the location of the main eggs and had to direct them to another place.
