POLL: Hiding Easter eggs

[BillWesJay]

My parents always hid my eggs in incredibly difficult spots. It wouldn't be uncommon to find an egg. 6 months to a year after Easter.

Sitting there this morning it dawned on me that I was hiding my 4 year olds Easter eggs in pretty tough spots. To make it worse, I was tipping them back last night and forgot where I hid a couple.

Our hunt lasted a little over 2hrs for 12 eggs.

We might have spent 10 minutes out there today. The last two weren't hidden that well, but we gave some hints to get the show on the road.

My son isn't a year and half yet, so he gets it easy now. In the next couple of years, I will step my game up.

Staggered for multiple age kids; both in difficulty and height from the ground.

My daughter is 8, and she has an average time finding the eggs. We typically hide them in the house, and only on the main floor. This year we hid 45 total eggs and she found about 35 of them in about 5-10 minutes. The remaining were mostly found in the next 30 minutes. However, it took her until this morning to finally find 2 of the eggs...and my wife had to point them out to our daughter.

Personally I don't have the patience for any of it. We hide plastic eggs and my wife fills them all. I then take 5 minutes to hide them. We know how many were hidden, but if my daughter doesn't find them all I have no idea which eggs she doesn't find. Last year she found an egg in June...in the Dining Room.

As a kid, it was always interesting finding an egg months later ... outside ... real egg.

Our egg hiding lasts for days. 12 eggs over and over again. sometimes easy, other times hard. It gets a little annoying, but the kid really has fun with it.

My kid found one of the eggs from last year. How it eluded the dogs, I'll never know.

My wife hid them Saturday night and tried to make it more difficult this time. Didn't matter though, I still found more than all my kids combined.

The person who invented the Easter Egg Hunt obviously had some sadistic tendencies. In my experience, unless it's only one kid looking, someone is going away angry, disappointed, frustrated, or some combination of these.

Color code the eggs and tell each child they can only get their assigned color.
