Egg hunt

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, just asking about garden egg hunts.

Obviously Easter is a Sunday and some people are off work so might lie in. Have three children, 5 and 3 year old twins who are very excited to see if the Easter bunny has been.

So what's a reasonable time to 'let them out' 😂 we've got a few families in the area and then a few of those people who hate to even hear a frog croak 😂 but kids are kids aren't they

I think any time after 9 is reasonable, what does everyone else think, earlier/later/about right?

Thanks

For a 5 year old and 3 year old twins I wouldn't have them out earlier than 10am as the 3 of them are likely to be much more giddy and loud than a couple of older kids or one solo child.

Could you not to the egg hunt after dinner? It doesn't need to be first thing in the morning wmd as well as eliminating the noise problem doing it later also means the grass won't be as dewey and you won't have to get up early to put the eggs out.

9 is fine I would say.

Our egg hunts are always inside so it doesn't matter how early!

I'm probably going to go against the grain but it's only one day a year, just let them out when they're ready. Make the eggs easy to find so it won't last long and if they squeal/screech tell them not to but otherwise let them crack on.

9 is perfectly fine.
