egg hunts

Pastel prize quests

Egg hunts are activities, typically held around Easter, where children search for hidden eggs—usually dyed hard-boiled eggs or plastic ones filled with candy.

Churches, parks, and backyards host egg hunts as springtime traditions: The community center's annual egg hunt drew hundreds of kids.

The appeal lies in the treasure-hunt format.
