My work puts on an egg hunt every year and it's all separated by age groups with a special prize egg and whoever finds it gets a big old Easter Basket. The parents are only allowed in with the 0-3 year olds, but in all of the older groups, the parents stood along the edges telling their kids where the special egg was. <br /><br />I did grab my daughter and run across a patch so she could get one egg because she was definitely slower than the other kids and I wanted to see her pick up one egg. One of her little buddies from baby class was there, and after all the eggs were found, we rehid the eggs for the two girls and they had lots of fun. Mostly, Maggie only cared about one because she discovered the candy inside. <br /><br />Our egg hunt with our family was much different, the kids are all older, so they wanted to see her find them, and she filled her little basket with about 8 eggs and decided it was too heavy so she would steal another basket to fill. I was really impressed with how many she found on her own. It was so cute!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15823356995694793410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999709967340170433.post-1023186082739246492012-04-09T12:31:49.409-05:002012-04-09T12:31:49.409-05:00I couldn't agree with you more about egg hunts...I couldn't agree with you more about egg hunts! We did not take our two-year-old this year because I just wasn't up to the battle! I used to be a property manager for an apartment complex and we did a HUGE egg hunt every year. We would do a few "hunts" for different age groups, but mostly it was just us tossing TONS of eggs all over the lawn. We hid a few eggs for my daughter and two nephews this year and you can see the competitiveness with it, even with family! They kept yelling for my daughter and I to "Hurry up! Get it quick!" And I kept thinking "isn't this just for fun?" I mean, there was no MONEY involved! And besides, she only needed a few eggs, I don't want her eating a bunch of candy anyway! She still ended up with 4-5 hard boiled eggs and 5-6 plastics with candy. I think that's a good haul for a two-year-old that only had mommy holding the basket! Well, I did coach her just a little to just put the egg in the basket and find another one but I tried really hard not to tell her to "hurry."Stuff N Junk by Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00321522580388457571noreply@blogger.com
