How about using a cereal box to make into a lovely basket to paint or decorate before going on your egg hunt!?
You can easily store the cereal without it or use it for your cereal again after to make it look even more appetising at breakfast time!!
Or how about wellies to collect your eggs? Or a pick up truck? Love the ambition but I was thinking of a toy pick up truck :> Failing this pockets, yes your deepest pockets will ensure any eggs you find whilst hunting will not go astray and you can also have them on hand for a quick bite on the way around!
Cut the front and back of a cereal box down half way, leave the sides to curve and secure using tape, glue or staples to make a handle. Secure with a peg or paper clip if necessary to dry. Paint or decorate your basket! Cut Circles of paper and decorate them to make in to cones to collect or present treats
