The Best Free Easter Scavenger Hunt Clues Online

Who doesn’t love a good scavenger hunt? Have your little ones hop from clue to clue and keep them entertained even longer! 

Tips For Making Scavenger Hunts Fun

Kids will love finding their Easter basket after the final clue, or will enjoy other creative treats if the hunt isn’t actually on Easter day. For older kids, consider a free pass to skip a chore they normally have to do or a basket of their favorite snacks. For younger children, think in terms of small treats that are still tons of fun, like slime or putty. Once the hunt begins, get ready for the many photo ops there will be during the hippity-hoppity fun!

Coffee Filter Flower Baskets

These colorful flower “baskets”  at freefuneaster.com can be made with items you probably have lying around the house. All you’ll need to get started are coffee filters (2 different sizes), watercolor, a paper cup, floral wire (or something similar), adhesive, a shallow dish, and ribbon. This craft is easy enough that the kids can help with several of the steps – they’ll love watching the dye creep through the coffee filter when it gets wet! Use the final product to add a splash of color around the house or as a fun centerpiece on the table for Easter lunch.

Plastic Easter Egg Maracas

Try these plastic egg maracas if the kids are in the mood for yet another fun, free Easter craft. Disclaimer: Depending on what you put inside, these have the potential to make a lot of noise…so choose wisely! (Or be sure you have a great hiding place when maraca-time is over!) Track down some leftover plastic eggs from last year and fill them with rice, beans, beads, or any other tiny objects you might have around the house. From there you’ll just need some colorful washi tape and plastic spoons to create a fun Easter instrument. Put on some upbeat music and host an Easter-maraca dance party in the living room!

Free Easter Activities & Events

Easter Bunny-Hop Races

If you’re looking for a way to burn off some energy with the kids, use eyeliner to turn them into little bunnies by drawing a triangle on their nose and some whiskers on their cheeks. Give each child an old pillowcase and line up for a bunny-hop sack race across the yard!

Community Easter Egg Hunt and Car Show in East Texas

If the novelty of crafts and coloring has worn off and you’re ready to get out of the house, head to the Community Easter Egg Hunt and Car Show from 9 am to 4 pm on April 3, 2021. This event will be held in Tyler and is hosted by the Local Business Networking Community – it will be a great opportunity to see some cool cars and enjoy the spring air. As plans may change due to weather or Covid precautions, be sure to visit the event website and check the LBNC Facebook page for updates.

Host Your Own Easter Extravaganza!

It probably won’t come as a surprise that many events in 2021 are scheduled tentatively – instead of crossing your fingers and hoping that your favorite Easter concert or community egg hunt happens, why not plan your own family fun? Check when the next sunny day will be so you can include some outdoor activities as well.

Progressive stations with different activities at each are a great way to keep active children interested and moving. For example, position the following stations in different areas of the house and yard:

Station 1: Easter Coloring Pages

Station 2: Easter Bunny-Hop Sack Race

Station 3: Plastic Egg Maracas Craft

Station 4: Dance Party with Maracas and Music

Stations 5: Easter Scavenger Hunt

To minimize your time spent planning, set up the stations listed above, add some tasty treats to refuel between activities, and… voilá! An afternoon full of free Easter fun!

Remember to download free photos for your phone and desktop wallpaper to get in the spirit for Easter entertainment. With the right inspiration and a little prep work of printing and gathering supplies, you’ll be ready for a variety of fun activities that won’t cost you a dime. Whether you want to stay in with the family, venture out, or invite friends over to participate, there are plenty of free activities to celebrate Easter and enjoy the onset of spring!
