Doing an Easter Egg hunt for my kids but in a shared lawn, should I place eggs for other kids too?

I would just use the small lawn infront and behind my home and not use the community space. You really wanna worry about other kids and allergies and crazy parents?

I’d buy extra and put up a sign the day before that says egg hunt 1 pm.

You could assign colors for each kid. That way they only find their color and not hog all the eggs.

That's how we do it. Eggs are empty, kids turn in their color and then pick their prize. No fighting that way.

I think your idea sounds wonderful, OP. You are a good neighbor.

I don't really think you can do this. Some parents would be pissed with their kids receiving candy. Or the kids would wonder why they didn't know about it or their bunny only left them a basket.

Have your egg hunt inside.

I think you do it on that lawn if you want to make it a community activity. Otherwise, do it in your home.

FWIW, my kids' first year they were old enough for an egg hunt was cold and rainy so we hid the eggs inside. 2nd year it was rainy again, so inside again. Once we did it twice, it was "tradition" so my teenagers still expect an indoor egg hunt.

We’ve done the indoor egg hunt many times! Kids love it. They hide in their rooms and we hide eggs in the living room. Repeat and do family room. Repeat and do basement.
It’s a good solution.

During covid I did this indoor egg scavenger hunt (with clues, numbered eggs, etc.) that led in the end to their baskets. My kids loved it so much that that is what they have asked for in all the following years.
