Our Guide to Planning an Easter Egg Hunt with Plastic Eggs

Planning an Easter egg hunt this year? Whether you're hosting for your kids, your community, or your classroom, there's one thing that can take it from simple to spectacular: plastic egg hunt eggs.

These aren’t your ordinary hollow eggs. With fillable designs, customisable features, and colour options galore, our plastic Easter eggs turn a traditional game into an unforgettable adventure.

 

 

Why Use Plastic Eggs?

Let’s start with the basics. If you’re wondering how to plan an Easter egg hunt, the first decision is what kind of eggs to use. With plastic Easter egg options, you get:

• A durable shell that stands up to enthusiastic hunters

• The ability to fill each egg with sweets, toys, or tiny surprises

• Reusability year after year

• Personalisation options to match names, events, or even themes

A plastic egg hunt lets you create something magical—and totally mess-free.

 

Choosing Your Egg Sizes

Our Easter eggs come in three sizes, and each plays a fun role in your hunt setup:

Giant Plastic Easter Eggs (35cm tall x 28cm wide)

Make these the ultimate jackpot eggs! Perfect for the final prize or to mark a golden ticket-style moment. Use them to hold larger toys, bundles of treats, or surprise clues that lead to the next part of the hunt.

Large Plastic Easter Eggs (18cm tall x 11cm diameter)

These are your go-to for main hunt items. They’re roomy enough for chocolate bunnies, crafting kits, or themed bundles—and they’re a great size for hiding in plain sight.

Small Plastic Easter Eggs (12.5cm tall x 7cm diameter)

Scatter these for quantity and quick-finding joy. Kids love finding them tucked into flowerpots, bushes, and behind garden ornaments. Fill them with sweets, stickers, or tiny toys for an easy win.

 

Make It Personal (And Themed!)

Want to make your egg hunt extra special? Use our personalised plastic Easter eggs to match your guests. Add names to each egg, use photos for clues, or apply themed graphics. We offer three unique design themes:

• Classic – for a traditional and timeless look

• Fun – bright, cheerful and playful

• Modern – clean, cool and contemporary

Each design can be paired with any of our 11 colour options, which means you can create hundreds of unique combinations.

 

Egg Hunt Planning Tips

If you’re serious about planning an Easter egg hunt, here are some tips to keep things exciting and stress-free:

• Set clear age zones – Older kids love a challenge, but younger ones need easy wins.

• Mix up the sizes – Use small eggs for common finds, and giant ones as the grand finale.

• Label personalised eggs – Use names to assign eggs to specific kids (no more squabbles!)

• Use clues – For older children, turn it into a treasure hunt with rhyming clues hidden inside each egg.

• Add surprises beyond sweets – Stickers, puzzles, and notes with kind messages make the fun last longer.
