We know many egg hunts are all about gathering as many eggs as you can, as fast as you can. Ours is a little different, and that difference really matters for your child’s experience. Please take a moment to look over the plan so you can help them understand what to expect: a cooperative, shared activity where every child gets one of each color and leaves with a full set of meaningful treasures. When children know ahead of time that this isn’t about collecting as many eggs as possible, they are much more likely to relax, enjoy the process, and feel proud of what they’ve gathered. Your guidance helps make the experience joyful and fair for everyone.
🌈 The Plan
This is a cooperative hunt, not a race.
Everyone helps make sure all children can collect one egg of each of the 7 colors.
Each color corresponds with a value, and each value has a station at one of the tables.
🥚 How It Works
- Find one egg of a new color
- Only take an egg if you haven’t already had that color.
- If you accidentally get one twice. It’s okay. Just put it back in the grass.
- Trade it in right away
- Bring the one egg to the table that matches its color/value.
- Trade the egg for a prize that helps you remember that value.
- Leave the egg behind
- Eggs stay at the tables. Only prizes go home.
- Repeat
- Go find a different color and trade it in, until you have visited all 7 value stations.
- If you’ve found all you need, look around and see who needs help!
🎯 Important Guidelines
- ✔️ One egg per color per child
- ✔️ Trade each egg before finding another
- ✔️ Collect one prize from each station (7 total)
- ✔️ Most tables have two values, one has one value
- ✔️ Things run more smoothly if everyone doesn’t go to the same table at the same time, so no need to go in order.
🚧 Safety & Boundaries
- Stay inside the cones at all times
- Parents, Guardians, and Grown-ups who brought participants are responsible for supervising their children
- Volunteers are here to staff tables and answer questions, but their focus is not on monitoring safety boundaries
