Stuck at home? Turn your sweet digs into an egg-citing one-size-fits-all hunting ground for the entire family. Examine your crib before cleverly nestling your chocolate eggs, sweet treats and big clues around the house. Now, go on and hype the fam up with all that sugar rush. 

Get those creative juices flowing and decorate some eggs in bright colours and playful designs. For uncracked eggs, it's best to paint them when they're hard-boiled. This is to avoid any messy accidents. Otherwise, empty the eggs by creating a hole at any of its ends and start colouring them with either paint or markers. But don't let those eggs go to waste – either cook them or add them into your cake mix.
