‘Tis Easter time. In our family, Easter means family visits, Polish sausage, chocolate in every form imaginable, and, of course, hiding eggs for the kids. For weeks before and after the official holiday, my children will play Easter Bunny, where one child assumes the bunny role and hides plastic eggs while the other child gleefully runs around the house with her basket and tries to find them. Kinda hard to do when you’re stuck in the car on the way to Gramma’s house. Never fear! Try one, some, or all of the following iPad hide-and-seek iPad apps:
