You get 24 bright plastic eggs, and every one has a small plush bunny tucked inside at about 5.5cm — the right size for little hands to collect and carry around all day.
If you’re running a hunt in this country, these beat chocolate outright. Nothing melts, nothing gets soft in the sun, and the kids end up with something they keep rather than eat in four minutes.
The eggs snap shut properly, so you can hide them around a backyard without the contents falling out, and they survive being found, opened and thrown in a basket.
Because both the eggs and the bunnies last, the whole lot goes back in a box and comes out again next Easter. Over a few years that works out considerably cheaper than chocolate.
They also work beyond Easter as party favours or a lucky dip, so leftover eggs don’t sit in a cupboard waiting eleven months for their moment.
Twenty-four covers a decent hunt, several baskets or a classroom, which makes this one purchase rather than three trips to different shops.
It suits anyone hosting Easter for a group of children, and it takes the pressure off trying to work out how much chocolate is appropriate for other people’s kids.
Count the children before you decide how to split them. Twenty-four sounds like plenty until there are six kids and one of them is counting, so it’s worth dividing them deliberately rather than scattering and hoping.
