We drive past the The Beth Chatto Gardens at least once a week and every year I point out that they do an Easter egg hunt. After the success of the Halloween trail we completed at our country park, I was hoping that Ethan would enjoy this activity too.
We paid for our entry and Ethan was given a map. He had to find the wooden eggs hidden around the garden and collect the stamps attached to the eggs.
We found the first egg pretty quickly and by the second egg Ethan understood what we had to do.
Each wooden egg was painted with a solid colour on the back and Ethan would vocalise each colour for us. I also made us run to each egg when Ethan spotted it so it made it more into a game for him.
Ethan does really well with these activities as it sets him a task to complete and gives him a purpose for our visit.
As the eggs are placed all over the garden you easily visit all of the grounds.
We were only there for just over an hour but it was the perfect time to hold Ethan’s attention and for Little E to take a nap.
Looks like a great day out, and a very well organised egg hunt! Love reading about the progress of naming colours! You both look very good and happy to! What a lovely Easter Hunt! #countrykids
Thank you, Ethan does enjoy activities like this he understands the task and wants to complete it x
This looks like a great place to explore and it’s fab that there was an activity that got Ethan out exploring the grounds without complaining to. It’s great that places have started really including things for kids to do in them. Thanks for linking up with me over on Country Kids.
He does like looking for and finding things. It’s great because it gets him to interact with us. Thanks for hosting x
Awww looks like a perfect day out =) #countrykids
We did enjoy it x
It looks so beautiful there, and looks like you had a gorgeous day for it. It sounds like a perfect activity for Ethan too, so glad you all had fun (and that Little E got her nap!) x
It really is pretty, it’s hard to believe it was someones back garden x
