Egg hunt

[Anonymous]

Which do you think is better for kids as a memory? Egg hunting in the backyard or going to the large stadium sized events?

Backyard.

The one where they have genuine fun, wherever that is.

Backyard. Those big ones are brutal, you have kids shoving each other and bigger kids grabbing things.

We do both. The kids think that the big one that our HOA puts on is fake and that the real bunny eggs our house on Easter morning.

We have 3 kids so we have different colored eggs for the littlest. The older 2 know not to steal her eggs and she wouldn't get any eggs at all otherwise. We have 3 gold eggs with huge prizes in them. They're the hardest to find. Our egg collection has grown over the years (we get them from the HOA hunt and save them), but we put out about 200 now. It takes them at least 30 min and they wish that there were more eggs. The eggs are filled with cool stuff too- neat candy, lego men, rings, hair clips, play money for their cash register, etc.

?? What exactly do you need to order? Just put little things in the eggs- jelly beans, gold fish or whatever you were putting in the easter baskets. Every egg doesn't have to be neat.

I've just always put change in our eggs. Each kid has one egg with their initial on it with a dollar in it. Other then that its maybe $0.25-30/egg.

That is a lot of eggs and a lot of candy and “stuff” plus big eggs with toys. Plus they do an HOA hunt too? Candy and small junk overload

Yeah, hiding eggs is not hard. Get some plastic eggs, put candy in them. One trip to CVS and I'm set. You absolutely do not have to put out 200 eggs with a huge variety of toys and trinkets.

We have had the same eggs since the kids were in like 5. They're 13 now. We put quarters, dollars, some candy and sometimes "coupons" for things like Pizza night any day you want, Free slurpee, etc. Its easy.

We do one at our house and one at grandma’s. If you make the backyard one hard, it’s not just over in 3 minutes. Tuck those eggs away!!
