Easter Bunny Mart Idea and Free Printables

Mix up your Easter egg hunt this year by setting up an Easter bunny mart where kids can trade in eggs for larger Easter items instead of filling Easter eggs with candy and prizes. A bunny mart is perfect for doing with a group of friends, a neighborhood, or even just your own family!

Bunny Mart Easter Egg Hunt Idea

We’ve done an Easter bunny mart for a few years in a row and it’s easily one of the kids favorite Easter egg hunt ideas – and I love it because setting up the bunny mart is way more fun than filling individual Easter eggs with cheap Easter egg fillers!

Plus, you can do a bunny mart for any age whether you’re looking for Easter egg hunts for teens or toddlers, and it works both for outdoor and indoor egg hunts! So no matter what kind of Easter egg hunt you’re setting up, a bunny mart works!

If you’ve never done or seen a bunny mart before, think of it like the ticket turn in counter at Chuck E Cheese (or Dave and Buster’s for the adults).

And to make it as easy as possible, I’m sharing my tips for setting up the ultimate bunny mart, ideas for different Easter gifts for each egg count level, and even a set of free printables to setup your very own bunny mart!

Setting up your very own bunny mart is so simple! All you need are some empty Easter eggs, Easter prizes of varying values and types, and labels to tell kids how much each of the prizes cost!

1 – Pick out prizes in varying levels

The first thing you’ll need to do is pick out some prizes that you think the kids (or whoever is doing the Easter egg hunt) will actually want to win! The goal is to make the prizes better than ones you would find in normal Easter eggs because kids will be getting fewer items, but better ones. I’ve included an entire list below of prizes that work well for bunny mart levels!

When you’re choosing your prizes, you can either buy a variety of different items in each egg value (e.g., different stuffed animals, different candies, different games or toys) or you can buy a bunch of the same item in the categories (e.g., multiples of the same stuffed animals, multiple packs of bubbles, and so on).

We went with a variety of different items for our bunny mart but you’ll know your egg hunters the best – if you think there will be fighting over kids not getting the same thing, I’d buy a bunch of the same thing for each egg value.

Like I knew these hooded animal blankets would be super popular, so I bought enough that each kid could get one if they wanted to! (The others are going in some Easter baskets for toddlers I’m putting together.)

2 – Print Out Bunny Mart Printables

Figure out how expensive each of your items will be and divide them into categories. Then print out the free printables at the bottom of this post and cut out the egg costs for each of the levels you previously determined.

I recommend having smaller value items (like one egg), medium value, and larger value items. We went from one egg (toy cars, small pieces of candy) to 15 eggs (stuffed animals, games, larger toys).

Once you have the printables ready, place your items into baskets or you can skip the baskets and just add them to your table in divided sections. Add the egg costs to each of the baskets or table sections with double-sided tape, add the bunny mart banner (if you want), and your bunny mart is ready to go!

3 – Hide the Eggs

The last step to prepping your bunny mart is hiding empty eggs all over your hiding space. You can do any sort of Easter egg hunt – an Easter egg scavenger hunt, hiding eggs by colors, or just a standard Easter egg hunt – as long as kids are finding eggs, it’ll work!

We hid one color of egg for the older kids, another color for the 5-7 year old kids, and another one for the kids under 5. It worked great because then the older kids didn’t just find all the eggs!

Once the eggs are hidden, it’s time for your Easter egg hunt! Tell the kids that they will be finding eggs and turning them in for prizes at the bunny mart, so they aren’t disappointed when they open eggs and find nothing inside.

Once your Easter egg hunt is over, it’s time to open your bunny mart! Start by having the kids count how many eggs they have to figure out what they can afford to buy.

Then you can either just have all the kids come up at once (enlist some adults to help with cashing in) and turn in eggs for the prizes they want. Or if you have a bunch of kids like we did, choose a random order for the kids to take turns choosing prizes. I used random.org and just put the kids names in there to make it the most fair who chose first, last, and so on.

I was actually really surprised that how well the kids did waiting for their turn to choose their prizes. I thought there might be some impatience, but the kids were so excited to get their prizes that they actually waited patiently!

Keep going until the kids have run out of eggs to turn in and close up the bunny mart! If you still have items left, feel free to use them for Easter baskets, other Easter games, Easter bingo prizes, or just another time you need prizes!

We did four different levels of Easter egg costs for our bunny mart, so I’ve broken these prize ideas into four groups. You can totally use any of these ideas or add your own (and break it down into more than five groups if you want).

Also, we kept the items in our bunny mart to $5 or less, but you could easily do whatever value works for your budget.

15 Egg Prize Ideas – Our Largest Prizes

These were our biggest prizes in regards to how much we thought the kids would want them, not necessarily the most expensive (although some were definitely the most expensive).

• Stuffed animals – Squishmallows, licensed characters, and other stuffies. This Easter egg squishmallow was one of the first chosen!
• Board games – I put some of our favorite board games for kids in, and they were a huge hit with the older kids and teens! If you want Easter specific ones, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza (the Easter edition) is a fun one!
• Larger Easter toys – things like this Easter LEGO bunny, a Paint Your Own Bunny craft kit, or things like these mini gliders (my boys LOVE these).
• Larger items – things like water bottles, bath and body items, blankets, and so on.

10 Egg Prize Ideas – Large Prizes

This category was similar to the one above except many of the items were a little cheaper than the ones above or smaller. In this category, we did duplicate some of the items that were easy to duplicate like bags of candy, bubble wants, and face masks.

• Larger bags of candy – pretty sure most of the kids would’ve gone for just these, so we made them more expensive so they weren’t just getting candy, or at least not a ton of candy.
• Medium toys – things like these hatching Easter eggs, licensed character toys, 3D printed dragon eggs, and Easter bubble wands.
• $3-$5 beauty items – things like lip gloss, Easter themed face masks, body scrubs, and more would be great in this category for tweens.

5 Egg Prize Ideas – Medium Prizes

You’ll realize in the breakdown that we priced things that we wanted the kids to take at cheaper values than the ones we wanted to offer but not necessarily overload the kids with. This category was full of those items we wanted to encourage them to take!

• Outdoor activities – things like sidewalk chalk, Easter bubbles, jump ropes, water guns, and other outdoor activities made it into this list. We even found an inexpensive giant outdoor game and included it here! One of the big hits were dinosaur dig Easter eggs!
• Individual candy items – we included larger individual candy items here like Kinder eggs, Easter PEZ dispensers, and Peeps. Not quite as much sugar as the bags of candy but definitely more than the individual pieces of candy in the lower prize categories!

1-3 Egg Prize Ideas – Small Prizes

For the lowest prize values, we did lots of small things mostly so the kids could use up all of their eggs and also the younger kids were super excited about the little things!

• Pieces of candy – we bought bags of things like Reese’s peanut butter eggs (we have a great copycat peanut butter eggs recipe), suckers, and other Easter candies to break down and put into the lower cost buckets.
• Small toys – I bought a pack of plastic toy snakes and split them up, bought a pack of Hot Wheels cars and split it up, and other various toys.
• Small Easter trinkets – if you want to include some of the traditional Easter egg fillers like bunny squishies, filled eggs, bunny stress balls, or other small things – this is a great place to put them!

If you want some fun and creative Easter egg hunts to use instead of in combination with this Easter bunny mart, these are some of our most popular ones! Or you could just do it with some of these Easter activities instead!

• Easter bunny hunt – instead of hiding Easter eggs, try hiding Easter bunnies instead that players can find and turn in for prizes!
