You know they always have their phones, why not use them! If your older kids suddenly become too cool for an Easter egg hunt, try adding a little tech to the tradition with this clever idea from Mommy Poppins. Hide an egg, then snap a close-up photo that reveals just a tiny bit of the surroundings and text it to your kids as their first clue. Once they track down that egg, send another close-up image pointing them toward the next hiding spot. It’s a simple twist that keeps tweens and teens engaged, and proves that even big kids can’t resist the thrill of the hunt.
