The Easter egg hunt is a Christian and springtime celebration where decorated, chocolate or plastic eggs filled with candy are hidden for children to find. It is popular in North America and can range from small celebrations to large events listed in the Guinness Book of Records. To organize an Easter egg hunt, coordinate with friends and family members, determine the location, buy eggs, decorate them, hide them, and let the children hunt. Visually impaired children can participate with sound eggs.

The Easter egg hunt is an event held every year on Easter Sunday. Decorated, chocolate or plastic hard-boiled eggs filled with candy are hidden overnight. The next morning, the children are given brightly decorated baskets and are allowed to hunt these eggs. Whoever collects the most eggs wins.
Decorating and eating Easter eggs is an ancient Christian tradition. During Lent, 40 days before Easter, eggs are not eaten. On Easter Sunday, to celebrate the end of Lent and the beginning of spring, eggs are the protagonists.

The Easter egg hunt is a combination of Christian and springtime celebrations and is popular in North America. Depending on the location and the weather, the eggs are hidden indoors or outdoors. It is very common to use chocolate or plastic eggs instead of hard-boiled chicken eggs. The context of the event is that the eggs have been hidden by a mischievous Easter Bunny for good children to find.

Easter egg hunts vary widely in size and complexity, from a small celebration to the annual Easter egg roll on the front lawn of the White House. Easter egg hunts are listed in the Guinness Book of Records, with multiple attempts to break the record each year. In April 2007, the Cypress Gardens theme park in Winter Haven, Florida struck 510,000 candy-filled eggs on the grounds as 9,700 people participated in an Easter egg hunt. The entire event tool takes months to plan and less than an hour to complete.

To enable visually impaired children to participate in this tradition, Easter eggs that sound were created. These eggs make a repetitive noise or play a short tune so your child can locate Easter eggs independently. These types of eggs are also very popular for Easter egg hunts for children with disabilities.

To organize an Easter egg hunt, coordinate with friends and family members who have young children. Determine the ideal location for the Easter egg hunt. Buy chocolate and plastic eggs, as well as chicken eggs. On the Saturday before Easter Sunday, boil the eggs and encourage the children to decorate them. Provide bowls with food coloring and water baths so they can dye the eggs.

Overnight or early in the morning, hide all the eggs out of plain sight. Be sure to keep track of how many eggs you started and where you put them so they can be located later if the kids don’t find them all. When the kids are ready to hunt, give each child a decorated basket and let them go hunting.
