Today we celebrated Easter with the kids.
First, everyone took turns painting the eggs. Since our eggs are brown, dye doesn't show up as well as paint, so we choose that medium.
Next the young people hid the eggs in the playground.
The theme was 'hidden in plain sight'.
We sent the kids into the playground in stages: first the toddlers, then the preschoolers, then the kindergarteners, to give a fair chance to each child.
The plan was that they would find two eggs and use those to redeem their chocolate.
Moriah, Peter and Nathan (otherwise known as my three little kittens) were a bit perplexed by the whole idea. We let them off the hook once they'd found one egg each.

The older ones enjoyed it much more.
Of course, everyone knows the best part of any easter egg hunt is the chocolate!

Happy Easter!

I LOVE the idea of painting the eggs!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course the hiding and finding is the BEST part - - - unless you turn the eggs into deviled eggs later. (I wonder why we don't call them angeled eggs fo Easter???)
I love the way the eggs look painted. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThey are soo soo precious! I'm so glad you got to celebrate a Easter with them & that you are living out the love of Jesus in their lives. Have a very blessed Easter!
ReplyDeleteI bet that was a sight, all the children out looking for the painted eggs. The shot of Henry, all smiles, is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first visit to your blog. I'm visiting from SIMC. I loved the pictures of the children hunting the eggs. What a blessing you are to them.
ReplyDeleteOff to look around some more on your blog.

That must have been so fun to watch! I don't have kids in my family & I miss these fun activities. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun. Our ministry is in an urban setting. Hiding eggs among the cement buildings and parking lots would not work. Next year... maybe we can visit a park or something.
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! I absolutely love reading your blog and seeing the everyday adventures!
