Make your kids’ lunch into an Easter Egg Lunch Hunt! They’ll have a blast opening each egg to see what surprise awaits them! Lunchtime has never been so fun! You can also place them inside a lunchbox for an elementary school option!

Step 1: Collect plastic eggs.

Welcome! I'm Brandy, mother to 5 darling kiddos and a cute black lab named Toby. My husband is in the Coast Guard so we've lived all over the place, turning each house into a home. I love baking, sewing, making cute things with my kids, and sharing what I've learned with all of you!
I love, LOVE your Easter Egg Hunt lunch idea – so fun! The bunny donut cups are adorable too! Great Post!
Such a fun mom! I have to do this! Love it. Linking back to my blog. Darling.
Thank you so much, Tisha!
This one caught my eye right away. Love it.
Thanks Glenda! It was so much fun!
Love this idea. . . . i clicked through a pin on pinterest, but it came up as a suspicious link and I had to bypass that to get here. Just FYI.
Can’t wait to surprise my girl with this in her lunchbox on Friday!
Wow this very nice post and thanks for sharing the wonderful post.

Hi, good idea thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the fun idea! My daughter’s birthday is in April so last spring I filled up the eggs for their lunch. It was fun to see how they all ate them differently. Some ate one egg at a time, some emptied them all out at once.
I didn’t hide them, but maybe next time I will…
Saw this on Pinterest earlier this year and did it for my kids’ lunch at school. They loved it! Thanks for the great idea.
You are welcome! I can’t wait to do it again!
Just a thought. You might want to check and see if the plastic eggs are food safe. Sometimes you never really know what is being put in the plastics that might leach into food.
ok I am going to try it on easter weekend
A moment that every kids will cherished.

So I did end up doing this, and my kids had a blast! They thought it was so much fun and enjoyed all the surprises in the eggs (we had cheese sandwiches, grapes, banana, tiny teddies, savoury crackers and ham).
Thanks for the inspiration!
I’m doing this today for my sweet girl! Thanks for sharing this adorable idea! 🙂
We usually have lunch/dinner around 3 with the in-laws on Easter Sunday. That’s tough for a 7 year old. If I feed him lunch, he isn’t hungry at 3. But it is too long for him to wait to eat.
I am going to use this idea (found you on Pinterest, btw) and put mostly fruits with a couple of small protein items so that it will tide him over until we have our main meal.
EXCELLENT idea.
This is simply brilliant! Thank you for the idea! It’s nice to fill easter eggs with something besides candy.
So awesome to heaar KDodson!! How fun! And kuddos to you for preparing that 3x!
Thanks so much for the idea!! Did this for my 1st grader and Kindergardener’s lunches today and sent them to school with the egg carton as their lunch box. they LOVED it!! So much that I had to do a half-carton for my preschooler to take for her snack. Yay!! Super-mom!!
THANKS for the lunch-in-egg idea! I used it for my daughter’s lunch at preschool!

Oh wow! What an awesome memory for your little ones! I am SO excited and am going to try this with my three year and 11 month olds! My toddler doesn’t want to eat anythinnnnnnng at the moment so maybe this will do the trick and be fun at the same time? Pinning this idea.
Would love if you would link it up too on my party going on now at Teagan’s Travels!

This is the BEST idea!!! My girls are going to be all over this one. Thank you so much! Sometimes, the meal preparation is such a drag over and over and over again. I’m sure the kids feel the same – this ought to liven things up.
If I had little ones at home, I would be doing this for sure. What a fun idea. I’m sure your kids had a blast.

What a fun idea!
What a darling idea!!
Oh!! How clever and such a fun idea! My kids would love this! I may try it out!
I absolutely love this idea, and I want to do it. Thanks so much for sharing it. Very clever.
Two things: I’m a grown up (last kid soon to leave the teen years) and *I* want a lunch in eggs! How fun! Second, I’m repinning this to my Bento board, because it is cute, clever, nutritious, and let’s add another clever in there 🙂
Very creative! I think this would also be a fun treat for a child that takes a lunch or treat to school…so much more fun to find a bunch of brightly colored eggs than a couple of plastic baggies.
SUCH a cute idea, so doing with my niece when she’s older!
What a wonderful idea! Will definitely be doing this one! 🙂
That is a fantastic idea!
What a great idea! I’m going to have to try this!
What a great idea! Looks like your kiddos loved it! This is a must do for me now. Thank you!
