Disclaimer: This program is specifically for children aged 0 - 3. These eggs will be hidden only in the loosest sense of the word. The event is designed for families who want their children to experience an Egg hunt in a less intense fashion than other egg hunts. The goal of this program is to develop motor skills in children through searching, grabbing, and opening of between 1 - 3 eggs. Eggs are not to be hoarded by families. Elder sibling may attend to help their baby siblings search / grab / open, but the eggs are not to be collected by elder siblings or family members. (Of course once the baby has collected the egg, elder siblings / family members may eat the candy if they so choose.) 
We request all unwanted plastic egg-shells be returned to the front desk for re-use, however if you wish to keep them you may!
