egg hunt

Springtime children's search

An egg hunt is an activity, typically held around Easter, where participants search for hidden eggs—usually dyed hard-boiled eggs or plastic ones filled with candy or small prizes.

Children hunt through yards, parks, or indoor spaces: The church organized an egg hunt for the neighborhood kids.

Also called an Easter egg hunt.
