egg hunting

Springtime children's quest

Egg hunting is the activity of searching for hidden eggs, especially the dyed or decorated eggs concealed for children to find during Easter celebrations.

The hunt itself—wandering a yard or park, peering under bushes and behind furniture—is the main attraction: The kids went egg hunting after church.

The eggs may be hard-boiled, plastic shells filled with candy, or chocolate.
