Easter Bunny Scavenger Hunt

April 4, 2026 by Annette Kaminsky Leave a Comment

This Easter Bunny Scavenger Hunt is a fun twist on the classic Easter egg hunt. It is simple and easy to prep, and lots of fun to play.

_______

Preparing the Easter Bunny Scavenger Hunt

The printable set for this Easter Bunny Scavenger Hunt is available in my Skills N Smiles Etsy shop. To prepare the game, purchase and download the listing.

_______

Next, print one copy of the “Hide the Bunnies” page, and cut out the bunny and egg pictures. Note: Printing this page on cardstock paper is recommended.

_______

Using tape gentle on surfaces, place the bunny pictures around your classroom, home, yard, or party space. Print one copy of recording sheet #2 and write down where each bunny is displayed or hidden.

_______

Then print a copy of the recording sheet for each person participating. There are two choices: 1) Mark off the found bunnies; 2) Write down where each bunny was found.

Have enough sharpened pencils to go along with the recording pages.

Lastly, print copies of the bunny coloring page and choose crayons, pencil crayons, or markers for the coloring activity.

_______

Optional: Prepare a treat bag or party bag for everyone who plays the game. Bunny and egg treats fit the theme beautifully. In addition to or instead of sweet treats, include items like gift cards, stickers, small toys, playdough, keychains, earbuds, jewelry, hair accessories and coins. Redemption prizes such as “pick the next family movie”, a coupon for an ice cream date, an extra story at bedtime, or “stay up one hour later” are also great ideas.

The Easter Bunny Scavenger Hunt

In this Easter hunt, participants search for 9 unique bunny pictures placed around an area designated for the activity. Everyone can start the game at the same time, or be assigned to begin in groups.

_______

Give everyone a recording sheet and a sharpened pencil. Recording sheet #1 is optimal for younger children. Recording sheet #2 is perfect for older children. Explain where the hunt will take place, and whether the pictures will be visible without having to move things, or hidden.

_______

To keep the activity low-mess, tell everyone that they do not need to move anything to find the bunnies. To make the activity more challenging, hide the bunnies.

Keep the answer key and give clues to where the bunnies are hidden if needed.

As participants finish, give them the bunny coloring page and art media of choice and have them decorate the picture. This is a great activity to help everyone unwind.

)_______

If desired, hand out treat bags or party bags after the festive activity is completed.

Benefits of the Easter Bunny Scavenger Hunt

Besides being super enjoyable, the bunny hunt activity encourages literacy skills, movement, and observation.

_______

This bunny hunt Easter activity is budget-friendly and requires little time to set up and clean up afterwards. Having one treat bag instead of the time-consuming task of filling numerous eggs with treats or toys and accessories is also a plus.

Variation of the Easter Bunny Scavenger Hunt

Instead of doing a bunny hunt as an Easter activity, you can have a bunny scavenger hunt anytime in Spring with this Spring Bunny Scavenger Hunt Printable Game.

_______

Then select a dot marker color of choice and fill in the bunny-shaped cutout. For my first bunny, I used a purple shimmer dot marker. On the canvas, it has a purply-pink hue.

Tip: Lighter-hued dot markers work best for this art project.

Afterward, take off the cardboard cutout and let the silhouette bunny design dry. Dot marker art dries quickly, even on a canvas, so it won’t take long.

Finally, using white glue or a glue gun, affix two wiggly eyes, a button nose, and a curved pipe cleaner mouth to create a bunny face.
