3 Hello! Cadbury and Bunny want to ensure that families everywhere have a cracking Easter by helping to create eggstra special egg hunts for you to do at home. Your Easter egg hunt can be as long or short, as challenging or as easy as you like, but Cadbury and Bunny are here to make sure they re as fun as possible! You ll find lots of fun-filled and easy to use ideas and tips on how to create an egg hunt for your family. There s also helpful things to print out such as Bunny ear templates to decorate (and help turn your little ones into bunnies), signage and clue suggestions and even Bunny footprints to help your family along the way. We ve split the hunts up into three and have tailored the activities and types of clue to different abilities, so we know there ll be something to suit everyone!

11 You will need: Scissors A cereal box Glue A stapler 2.Make the handle Bunny Basket All Easter egg hunters need a basket to collect their Easter eggs in so why not make your own! At the middle of the basket you ve drawn, on one side draw two parallel, vertical lines up from the middle of the basket to make the handle. 5. Fix the handle! Once it s all dry, you ll need to make the handle. The handle will be attached on one side but to make it a basket the handle needs to work properly. To do this, make an arch with the handle over to the other side make sure the other end sits on the inside of the basket and then staple in place. Colourful wrapping paper A pen or pencil A ruler (optional) Tissue paper (optional) 3. Cut it all out! If your family are helping you make the basket, be sure that a parent or guardian is there to help and keep everyone safe! Start at the top cutting out the handle from the open flap at the top and when you get down to the basket section, turn the scissors to cut out the basket. Be careful not to cut off the handle! 6. Get hunting! Fill your finished basket with some ripped up pieces of tissue paper so eggs have a soft nest to be kept in while your family do some hunting! 1.Make the base of your basket Take your cereal box and draw a straight line around the box (use a ruler if you need to), about one third of the way up the box. This will be the size of your basket! 4.Make it all colourful! Use some colourful paper with an Easter theme if possible and cut out the right size shapes to cover your cardboard basket. Glue the shapes around the basket and on the handle.

For the head band, take your plain pieces of paper and cut them along the portrait length of the paper in equal widths. Everyone has a different sized head so tape the lengths together to the right size for each person s head. Make sure you don t tape the ends together. Make sure a parent or guardian is always helping when using scissors! 3. Decorate! Get crayons, pens, pencils, stickers anything fun and colourful for everyone to decorate their own ears. 4.

22 Stay Eggstra Safe Make sure your family set safe boundaries for the egg hunt. For example if it s in the garden, make sure they know not to go past the fence or out of the gate. If there are a few people taking part this will help in keeping everyone in one place and stop anyone wandering off. Keep the eggs at or below eye level so they don t try to climb on things Don t hide the eggs around breakable items Keep eggs away from nettles or thorny foliage Don t hide the eggs in holes in tree trunks or in the ground as you don t know what else has crawled in there
