Matching game

If you want to make your Easter egg hunt a little more challenging, consider making it into a matching game! Gather up some plastic eggs that can completely separate. On one half, put a letter of the alphabet, and on the other a picture (or a sticker) of something that starts with that letter. Put the eggs back together, but do not match the letters and images correctly. After the kids find the eggs, they have to match all the sides correctly to get the treats inside! Treehouse Treads gives a great tutorial for this project, which can put those Easter eggs to good use well past the holiday.
