Those that have kids and do Easter baskets

[verypunny]

Where do you hide them?  My two and four year old are easy but I feel like my 8 year old has seen it all, he always finds it so quickly!

ill do the youngest on a chair pushed in, so it's under the table.  And for my 4 year old, maybe behind the shower curtain or on the trampoline.  I need a tricky spot for my oldest.

I honestly didn't know I was supposed to hide it :/

It sits on our fireplace, same place Santa leaves the loot in December. Heh

My son's basket is in my trunk of my car.

Haha I thought you meant until Easter. It will be in my trunk until as then. I don't hide it on Sunday.

Hanging from a ceiling fan?
On top of kitchen cabinets?

We have never hid (hidden)? them either. We hide the eggs but the baskets are just sitting on the floor in the living room in front of the entertainment unit! Maybe stick it in the washer/dryer if it will fit? Dishwasher?

That's how it was done in my family and how I plan on doing it with my future kids.

We don't hide them. They are set up on the kitchen table when they wake up in the morning.

Hmmm I'll have to think. It's pretty big because I did a basketball, board game and puzzle. I did very little candy this year because my daughters acid reflex is causing problems with her teeth. So I'm making them all suffer. Lol.

I didn't know hiding them was so uncommon! Growing up it was always hidden but we never hid eggs, they would be in our baskets.

No plans to hide the monstrosity that their baskets have become.

IF THE OVEN WILL BE OFF FOR SURE...our mom used to always hide one (without the handle) in there. (Big family; she had to be creative.)

[LeggsBenedict]

my dad used to hang them off high things, my mom stuck them in random cabinets.

my sister put mine in the microwave once and melted my chocolate bunny on accident.

Would it fit inside the dryer? Top shelf of a closet? Or, could you keep moving the basket while he's looking for it? When he moves to another room, move it to a spot he's already checked. (Actually I may have to do this to my kids this year... )

Last year my DS woke up about 2 hours before the rest of us and tiptoed around the house and found every hidden basket and egg and told everyone else when they woke up. DD1 told him to do that again this year so she doesn't have to look for it.

I don't hide them.



oops

We don't hide the baskets, just the eggs.

My mom always hid them, she prided herself on the most fiendish locations possible. Once she hung one on a hanger in the closet between a bunch of coats and sweaters. Another one was inside an emptied carton of soda that had been sitting on the counter for weeks full of soda cans so my sister and I barely even looked at it.

The best one I remember was having it hidden between my bed and the wall. There was like 18" between the two, just enough so that it wasn't up against the wall and an adult could fit to change the sheets. I remember being so upset I couldn't find it I went and flopped on my bed to pout and there it was staring me in the face.

Our easter basket growing up was always one big family basket on the kitchen table. I am doing that here.

[thumper55]

I hid the baskets in my linen cabinets, on the top shelf.

[shell24]

We don't hide them, but maybe underneath the table with all the chairs pushed in?

We do a scavenger hunt. I already wrote up the clues but have no idea where I'm hiding his basket. Last year I hid it in H's truck. This year.. maybe the garage??? We fancy.
