What a beautiful and fun day we had last Saturday watching my Nunes grandchildren hunting for Easter Eggs! Lynn devised this plan when she started having grandchildren and it has grown with her. This is the first year I have been here to witness how fun it is. Jenny wrote a great description of it for our family website and I am borrowing her words. (See below!)
Here is how it works!
"Each grandchild had a main, bold color. Maeli's eggs are all those colors plus little patterns. It means all the kids get to find their eggs, and no one swoops in and gets them all. But it is also a super cute demonstration of cooperation. When the eggs get less obvious to find and the kids stumble on an egg belonging to one of the others, they will start yelling to each other to come look and, although they know not to touch each others eggs, they will help direct each others search. It was cute this year. In the past it has been the three older kids who helped the three younger kids, but this year, six of them were all old enough to contribute. I remember seeing Kambria get so excited when she found a green egg and started shrieking for Ammon, "Ammon - green!!!! Ammon! Ammon!!" It is almost more fun to find an egg for your cousin/sibling than to find one for yourself! I love it. My mom came up with this approach several years ago and I think it is awesome." Jenny
Great idea, I think we'll try it!
