Including free downloadable clues

A big part of Easter is the fun of a scavenger hunt! If you fancy doing one yourself, you could hide small chocolate eggs in foil around the home, or if you've not got any eggs, why not use small toys or other treats instead? If you already have reusable plastic eggs that pop apart (think the inside of Kinder Surprise eggs), then you're set – but otherwise small Tupperware or plastic food containers filled with snacks, choc, small toys, or even jokes would work.

Hobbycraft has free clue sheets you can print to help you set up the hunt, or they're eggs-tremely easy to make yourself if you've got paper and pens.

Save compared to buying the popular branded version

Branded Play-Doh usually costs about £4 for a pack of four 85g tubs, but you can easily save money by making your own playdough.

You only need four common household ingredients – vegetable oil, plain flour, table salt and food colouring, plus warm water, which should cost about £3 total. You'll be able to make more than four small tubs, so you'll save money in the long run. You can use an online recipe, such as Good Food's playdough recipe.

Use less food colouring to make a lighter shade – for example, make pink playdough with a small drop of red food colouring. It's probably best to make lighter colours anyway, as the salt dough can stain clothes and other soft furnishings.
