If you have colourful eggs assign your kids to a colour and see who can find all of theirs the fastest – just remember where you’ve hidden them all!
Decorate eggs
Get creative with your kids by decorating hard boiled eggs! Colouring eggs can bring the whole family together for a fun, carefree, crafty afternoon.

Make sure your eggs are hard-boiled and cooled before crafting your masterpieces. Bunnings and Spotlight have some great Easter decoration ideas for the family to enjoy.
