Clarendon Moms Guide To Easter 2013 Celebrations

Easter Egg Hunts & Celebrations can be found this weekend around the Clarendon area of Arlington, Virginia. Here is the Clarendon Moms Guide To Easter Fun for this weekend! Enjoy!

An Easter Egg hunt is a game during which decorated eggs, real hard-boiled ones or artificial, filled with or made of chocolate candies, of various sizes, are hidden in various places for children to find. The game may be both indoors and outdoors. The eggs are hidden not to make their location and retrieval too difficult, as age appropriate. Churchs and schools frequently hold Easter egg hunts on a Saturday, the day before, or a week or two before Easter, on an open lawn, with sections segregated by age groups, so smaller children won’t be deprived by larger children.
When the hunt is over, prizes may be given out for collecting the most eggs, or for the most eggs of a specific color, consolation prizes, etc. Often a special prize is hidden inside a very few eggs. Commercial shops and local vendors may donate coupons for a free meal, etc. to be hidden inside a few eggs.
