***SCHEDULE CHANGE***
2026 Easter Egg Hunt Info
***UPDATE FRIDAY NIGHT*** The evening weather forecasts are now calling for the rain to start earlier than previously though, so we are adjusting our schedule to get the kids their sugar fix, hopefully before the rain.
NO PARADE. Unfortunately we will skip the parade this year. Our neighbors’ safety is important to us, and we cant have anyone slipping on wet roads. This will also allow us to shift our schedule up about 30 minutes.
BABY/TODDLER AREA: 9 – 10 am (older kids with sensory concerns who need a quieter, calmer egg hunt are welcome here too.
AGES 9-13: Dash at 10 am
AGES 4-8: Dash at approximately 10:15 am
Come out for the annual Rattan Creek Neighborhood Egg Hunt! It’s more of a mad dash than a true hunt, but the kids always have a good time!
Hunts will take place on the Rattan Creek Park soccer field and will be divided by age group.
ALLERGY TRADE IN
For kids with food allergies, we will have a trade-in bin at the RCNA table to switch unopened candy eggs for small toys. Please note that this is not for candy dislikes. We have a limited supply of non-food items and we want to reserve them for our young neighbors who would not otherwise be able to participate in the hunt. Feel free to message us ahead of time if you would like us to set something aside for your child.
BABY/TODDLER AREA
This will be a fenced-in area behind the soccer field, before the sand volleyball court. This area is intended for our littlest neighbors ages 0 – 3 so they can gather eggs at their leisure without getting knocked over by bigger kids. Older kids with sensory concerns who need a calmer, quieter egg hunt are welcome in this area too.
We will restock the baby area approximately every 20 minutes, but please encourage your toddler to leave enough eggs and treats for other children to enjoy.
We ask that parents carefully supervise their kids to make sure they don’t consume anything they shouldn’t. There may be candies or fruit snacks with smaller pieces that could present a choking hazard for some children.
EGG HUNTS
For the egg dash, kids will line up around the edge of the field to wait for the starting signal. The first hunt is for ages 9 – 13. Once that wave has picked the field clean, we’ll ask for everyone to move out of the center again so we can put out more candy for the 4 – 8 age group. Again, families should wait on the sidelines for the starting signal. Then have at it!
EGG RETURN
Please help us save money and plastic by returning the eggs. After the hunts are finished, help children empty their eggs into their baskets and return the shells to the designated bins near the walking path. We will use these eggs again next year. If any of the eggs are broken, please throw them away. Please place any candy wrappers or trash into the trash cans and not the egg return bins. Thank you.
HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE!
