Then you can put together the puzzle afterward, and you’ll be able to tell if some eggs are still hiding outside! If you want an even amount of eggs like 50 or 100, write the names of the items onto puzzle pieces (available at the dollar store).This idea is especially helpful for egg hunts on hot days-all the chocolate can stay cool indoors instead of melting inside the eggs!.After the eggs are collected, head inside to find out what everyone won!
