Stone-Inspired Easter Eggs

Easter is rapidly approaching, and before you know it, you’ll have children running around the yard for the traditional Easter Egg Hunt. 

There’s nothing more fun on Easter than enjoying the outdoors with friends and family, especially for a friendly (and sometimes competitive) holiday game. However, if your kids are getting older, they may not enjoy an egg hunt quite the way they used to.

Well, we’ve got a way to spice it up this year, and if you do it well enough, you’ll have kids and adults alike hunting for the Easter eggs until the sun goes down.

Bring the level of your hunt from easy to hard, or at least harder than usual. Instead of painting your eggs the traditional bright, pastel, springtime colors, give them a camouflage look by painting them similar colors to ones in your yard.

And by yard, we specifically mean stones, of course!

This will require a little research ahead of time. Take a walk in your yard and pick out good places to hide your eggs. Note what color every stone in your yard is, whether it’s a pathway or a fountain, or a multi-colored stone wall. This way you’ll know what paint colors to get from the store. Most likely you’ll end up with a lot of browns, creams, grey, and even some green if you want to hide them in the grass!

Once you've painted your eggs and they've dried, place them discreetly around your yard before your guests arrive. When everyone is ready, let the hunting begin! Just make sure to grab all the eggs by the end of the day, you don't want any stragglers laying around your yard.

Not only will the eggs be harder to find this year, but you’ll get to tie the holiday in with your beautiful landscaping, and you should take any excuse to show off your stone décor!
