Free Printable Easter Treasure Hunt. 24 mix-and-match clues plus a page of blanks to make up your own! Great fun for the kids.
I love Easter. It’s not just the spirit of Resurrection and joy that I feel. Those feelings are the most important. But I also love the secular side of the holiday. Bunnies and Easter baskets and eggs. And treasure!
I remember how exciting it was growing up hunting up Easter eggs. This is a nice twist on the tradition of just finding eggs. Do this in addition to or instead of a traditional Easter egg hunt.
The first and last clue are on the top of PAGE 1. Put your first clue of choice along with the “intro”. Since not everyone will have everything in the clues (shed, etc.), the clues are mix-and-match. I also did a page of blanks if you want to make up/add your own. The answers are typed underneath the clues.
If you’re looking for more Easter stuff, check out the “Easter & Carrot” page or the page dedicated to “Easter Printables.”
P.S. You might be interested to know I have a fabulous printable Easter Binder on sale in my shop. It’s over 140 pages of planners, games, decor, and more.

How to Have a Treasure Hunt
3 ways to do the treasure hunt.
- You can either put a little bit of chocolate in each egg (and maybe a small basket at the end).
- Check out the printable gift certificates for kids (egg-changables!) in my other post. Less candy! Put a “gift” in each egg along with the next clue.
- Or you can just put the clue in each egg and have a large Easter basket at the very end. Or favorite dessert (maybe Easter Muddy Buddies?)
As I mentioned above, the first and last clues are on the top of page 1. You can download each page separately.
There is also a page of blanks. This is great to mix in some of your own household traditions or little “inside codes”. Let’s say you call the couch “Daddy’s snoring place” (haha). Make a clue including that!
Easter Activities for Kids
- Easter Coloring Pages (free printable)
- Dyeing eggs. The old fashioned method using vinegar still works just fine.
- Egg hunt (obviously!)
- Egg and spoon race
- Read Easter books. Or read the Resurrection story and explain in terms the kids and understand.
- Jelly bean guessing game
- Bath time! Float plastic Easter eggs in the tub for fun
- Painting- get creative. Have them paint eggs. Or use plastic eggs and paint (no brushes allowed!) to make a painting.
Feel free to comment below letting me know some of your favorite Easter activities for the kids.

Thank you SOOOO MUCH for making this and giving it away for free! This will be so nice this Easter 2020 as we’re distancing due to Covid-19…My granddaughters are coming over and I can use this for a Treasure Hunt in the backyard while we watch from inside! I’m so thankful to you .
You’re so welcome! These are popular every year…but this year it’s been getting so many page views I’m a little shocked. (Not that I’m complaining!) haha. Glad that you’re granddaughters are getting to do this! And that you can watch. Have a blessed Easter.
Thank you from Thailand
Thank you from Australia
You’re welcome! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Hi there, thank you from Hawaii. I was wondering, do these have to be in a certain order? Or can I just hide them in the designated places and they will find the next clue based on process of elimination?
I’m probably overthinking it but I have mom brain and confused 😂
Thank you!
They’re mix and match! No problem, it’s a logical question. I would suggest using the first and last (they should be on the top of page 1).
Enjoy the treasure hunt.

Try saving to your computer instead of printing directly from the screen. Some people’s printers “get confused” when trying to print a webpage.
This Easter treasure hunt looks like so much fun! I love the idea of mixing and matching clues. Can’t wait to try it with my kids. Thank you for sharing!
