Share the Love!
Make this Easter Egg-stra special with this free printable Easter Basket Scavenger Hunt. The kids will just LOVE following the clues left by the Easter Bunny all around the house to find their baskets!
I know this is not the Easter anyone had imagined, but it is still Easter.
 Life doesn’t always go the way we had planned, and you know what they say about life?
You thought I was going to say lemons!
I wanted to share a few things we are doing to make this Easter egg-stra special. My Twinsies (Justice and Maddox) and I usually follow a pretty strict regimen of tradition when it comes to Holidays, but this year I am stepping outside of the box.
That’s why I created this super fun Easter Basket Scavenger Hunt, as well as these Easter Basket Stuffer Treat Coupons, since it may be difficult to get to the store for the traditional Easter basket treats.
Free Printable Easter Basket Scavenger Hunt
Make Easter morning egg-stra fun and instead of leaving the Easter Baskets right out in the open for the kids to wake up to (I mean the Easter Bunny leaves them, of course), have them follow the clues to lead them to a surprise! I think this one may just stick for our house and become the new tradition.
Just click the below image and have the printable file sent right to your Inbox.Â
Print it off. Cut it up. And have some fun!
You really can use these however you want, but I will outline the “rules of the game” for reference.

How an Easter Scavenger Hunt Works
This scavenger hunt is a little fancier than the typical checklist of items to hunt for and check off as you find them. This one takes mini detective casework.Â
The Easter Bunny hides the baskets, and then leaves clues which lead the children from one clue to the next, and finally to the surprise- their Easter Baskets! Of course, the clues are adorable Easter themed and made up of cutesy little hoppity rhymes.
How to Set the Scavenger Hunt Up
Print out the one page set of clues, and you will need multiple copies depending on the number of kids playing.
Cut up the clues using scissors, or if your feeling extra fancy you can use a Cricut Paper Trimmer.
You then hide the clues around the house. You can fold them and hide them, or you can place them inside plastic eggs and hide those.
I think the plastic egg route is the best way to go if you have more than one kid, so you can give each one their own color egg and they won’t mix up who’s clues are who’s. Just mix up the order of the clues and make sure to leave the last clue the same so it leads them to the basket!
Scavenger Hunt Clues
Clue #1– Happy Easter! Are you ready to hunt for your treat, the first clue is where you brush your teeth. Somewhere near your bathroom sink.
Clue #2- There’s Bunnies, and Chicks, and Lambs were told, the next clue is where your food stays cold. In the refrigerator.Â
Clue #3- He hips and he hops while you sleep in your bed, the next clue is where you lay your head. Under their pillow
Clue #4- There’s an Egg-cellent surprise just for you, but first you must look where you take off your shoes. Inside of a shoe or near the front/back door.
Clue #5- He brings treats, he brings sweets, for good girls and boys. The next hint might be found with your toys. In their toy bin/area.
Clue #6- You found all the clues, now wasn’t that fun? You’ll find your surprise where bathing is done! Inside the bathtub.
I hope this fun scavenger hunt shines a light on this Easter and helps to make some memories that will last a lifetime.
