The birds are chirping again and flowers are slowly starting to peek out from the ground which can only mean one thing… SPRING IS HERE! And that means it’s time for the Spring Egg Hunt presented by Comcast Xfinity on April 12 at HomeField-Olathe.
10 Reasons Why You Should Attend the Spring Family Egg Hunt
10. The Weather
We’ve all been there: soggy fields, cold temps, hot temps or even complete rainouts. Egg hunting in can be unpredictable this time of the year in Kansas City. But we’re taking that factor out of the equation with a perfect, climate-controlled hunt taking place on the fields at HomeField!
9. Two Sessions To Choose From
Whether you’re looking to avoid a sports game, cranky time or bumping into lunch and naps, we’ve got you! Choose the session that best suits your family’s needs. Session 1 runs from 9-10:15 a.m. and Session 2 runs from 10:30-11:45 a.m. Identical activities will be hosted at both. All children and adults in attendance will need to purchase a ticket to gain entry. Buy your tickets early, as the price will increase to $15 at the door.
8. A Minion
You read that right! Thanks to our friends and tile sponsor, Comcast Xfinity, you’ll be able to meet and get a selfie with a Minion from the Despicable Me and Minions franchise.
7. The Eggs
Forget those tiny plastic trinkets from eggs that end up in the trash. In sessions 1 and 2, your kids will hunt for empty eggs and turn them in for curated bags of fun and age-appropriate items. Bags will be filled with goodies from Andy’s Frozen Custard, Goldfish Swim School, KC Current, Russell Stover Chocolates, cookie dough bars from That’s It and sensory toys from Lesong Sensory Toys.
6. The Giveaways
Hidden inside eggs around the hunt are our golden tickets. If your kiddo finds one of those, they will be the winner of one of our many fabulous prizes. They’ll have a chance to win passes to The Coterie Theatre, Dogman: The Musical, presented by The American Theatre Guild, Midwest Trust Center at Johnson County Community College, Museum at Prairiefire, Theater for Young America, Starlight and Wonderscope Children’s Museum. There will also be fabulous prizes such as Kinetic Sand kits from Spin Master, paint sets from TPG Creations, books from Chickadee Words, and Deluxe birthday parties from Urban Air Adventure Park KC.
5. The Games
Our wonderful sponsors will be on hand, hosting fun at every turn. Try your hand at a fishing game with KidsPark Johnson County, take part in a springtime obstacle course with KOMA Taekwondo+, play a penny pinch game with Sweet Tooth Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics. Play the grand prize game with Chiro One Wellness Center, flip tires and do bean bag toss games with KidStrong, take part in movement activities with HomeField KC, and enjoy lawn games and an inflatable obstacle course courtesy of KC Fun Squad.
4. The Fun
Beyond the games, you can play instruments at the Bach To Rock-Leawood instrument petting zoo, sculpt art with Blue Gems ABA, get your face painted from LeBlanc & Associates Dentistry for Children, play at the play-doh station with Little Sunshine Playhouse, create an adorable springtime craft and enjoy a rubber band sensory bin with Fry Orthodontic Specialists, create cute egg ornaments with Rhea Lana’s of South Johnson County, and snap a cute photo in the Neuru spring-themed photo booth and springtime fun with Kids TLC.
3. Limited numbers
There are other egg hunts in town, but most don’t control the guest count, resulting in a very chaotic event. We purposefully cap our numbers so everyone has room to spread out and have fun!
2. The Bunny
The coolest bunny around is back and ready for all of the family photos and selfies your Instagram feed can handle.
1. The Experience – Planned By Moms FOR Moms
If you’re like us, you’ve been to egg hunts before that are a little bit wild. We guarantee that every child gets a certain number of eggs and that no one leaves empty-handed. Everyone leaves happy, even the parents!
