Accessible egg hunts
Egg hunts are an exciting part of Easter. With some planning, they can be made fun and accessible for children with disability. Here are our top tips for making Easter egg hunts accessible to children with disability:
- Make it fair and not a race! Give each child a specific colour to hunt for and make sure there is the same number of eggs in each colour.
- Hide eggs in places that every child can access. Ensure it’s easy to reach, place eggs at the right height for children who are wheelchair users or who have limited mobility.
- If your child has low vision, you can buy flashing or beeping eggs, which make them easier to find. Or place eggs near a visual clue like a balloon.
- Turn it into a treasure hunt. Give written or picture clues or draw chalk bunny footprints to each egg
- For some sensory fun, hide eggs in an Easter-themed sensory tray.
Easter craft
Many families think of decorating eggs at Easter – but with the scarcity of eggs in some areas this year, it may not be easy.
Decorating milk arrowroot biscuits makes the perfect Easter egg-themed treat. There’s no baking involved, just the fun bit. Children can get creative with colours, shapes and textures, as well as flavours.
