While dad was giving him an extra long bath, I placed his toys around the living room and hid 10 little eggs and 2 small chocolate rabbits amongst them. Some inside toys and some underneath them.
When he was nearly dressed after his bath I shouted upstairs that there were some funny noises coming from the living room and once he was dressed he should go and have a look. I told him that I'd been in there earlier and made everything very tidy and put any toys away.
He was so excited. (Or should I say eggs-cited!)
When he opened the door to the living room, he saw his toys spread around the room and a piece of paper in the middle of the room.
A letter from the Easter Bunny!
This letter was a last minute idea so it's not as good as if I'd have more time to think about and prepare it.
He has a brilliant time looking through his toys to find all the eggs, and we kept encouraing him to count them as we went along and also tell us what colour of egg he had found. He was so pleased when he had found them all.

I was a little worried that if I used chocolate eggs he would want to eat them as we went a long but he really wasn't bothered. When they'd all been found he was allowed to have one and the rest will be saved for other days.
It seemed to be a great introduction to Easter egg hunting for toddlers! And you can do it whatever the weather.
If you wanted to do some thing similar but didn't want to use chocolate you could used plastic eggs and when they've found them all, exchange them for a little toy.
