LEGO® Easter Egg Hunts

Easter is more than just chocolate eggs. It’s about family fun, creativity, and moments together. Whether in the garden or indoors, an Easter Egg Hunt is the perfect way to play.

Chocolate eggs disappear fast. LEGO® builds last much longer. The idea's simple: get some brightly coloured two-piece plastic eggs (you can find them online) and then fill them up with LEGO bricks. Hide them all over the garden and let the fun begin!

Colour me surprised…

Want to keep things fair? Try a colour hunt. Each child picks a LEGO® brick, then races to find the egg in the same colour. Line up the kids, pull out a coloured LEGO brick from a bag that corresponds with a coloured egg, and it’s ready, steady, GO! The one who finds the egg that’s the same colour as the brick gets to keep it.

You can then repeat the process with different coloured bricks until everyone has an Easter Egg full of fun to play with. A LEGO® Large Creative Brick Box is perfect for a colour-themed Easter Egg Hunt as it’s packed with lots of brightly coloured bricks of all sizes.

Mix and match magic

LEGO® play teaches kids to share, work together, and problem-solve, all while having fun. You can introduce this into your LEGO sets Easter Egg Hunt by filling plastic eggs with parts that all come together to make complete LEGO Minifigures, cars or creatures.

After the kids have found all the eggs, it’s a matter of all sitting down together, working out which pieces fit together, and sharing their LEGO parts with their friends to problem-solve. It's a chance to get creative, too; who knows what they might make!

A hunt for the tots

LEGO sets and bricks are ideal for young children, but if you've got little ones to entertain this Easter, you can devise many imaginative ways to keep them entertained with DUPLO® Eggs. Brightly coloured and suitable for little fingers, you can teach tiny tots about different colours and shapes through the joy of play. You'd be surprised how tenacious those little ones can be when it comes to hunting down colourful (and LEGO DUPLO®-filled) Easter Eggs. Add a LEGO Growing Carrot into the fun (they can build it as a special present for the Easter Bunny!).

Build lasting memories

A chocolate Easter Egg hunt may be fun, but the sweet treats are soon gobbled up and forgotten. Why not surprise them with LEGO® bricks this year? It's also a fantastic opportunity to teach children how to work together, share and problem-solve while having bags of fun.

LEGO sets are also a perfect Easter gift for someone special, such as LEGO Decorative Easter Egg sets, or a charming LEGO Easter Bunny and Chick Egg Hunt set. No matter what LEGO set you buy, you're guaranteed to build lasting memories that’ll last a whole lot longer than a chocolate egg!
