 Easter
Egg Hunt
Updated 4/18/11
By Ann Zeise
A virtual Easter Egg Hunt just for the kids has just ended for Easter 2011.
I hide 26 Easter Eggs throughout the Explorations
4 Kids section of this site. Each one has a clue to a page that has another egg.
The eggs look sort of like this:
or this 
I got the graphics from an Easter Clipart site that is no longer up. The photo above
is my grandson, Gavin. at 9 months old. His egg doesn't count.
You could use this as a lesson on how to "grab"
clipart from the web as you go around and collect the eggs.
On a Mac, click and hold on the graphic for a few seconds.
A new little window pops up. Select "Download Image to Disk,"
and chose a folder in which to put your eggs. With Windows, I
believe you right click. The popup window may say something slightly
different, but look for a phrase that seems to let you save the
image to your hard drive. Practice on these two eggs here.
The eggs will be removed shortly after Easter each year and
replaced a week or two before Easter in years to come.
Here's your
first clue:
Extra eggs with no hints: The two on this page and the one

Tips
- Keep the Explorations 4
Kids page up and available for use.
- Use the search engine at the top or bottom of each page. Put in a keyword
and see if it helps you locate a page with that word in it.
- Use your browser's FIND command to look for keywords.
- Use the Site Index at the top of each page if you are fairly
sure you know the name of the page where the next egg is hidden.
What to do when you've found all the eggs? Have fun with them.
Make some art with some of them. If you want to send me the graphic
you make as a .jpg or .gif file, fine.
Here's a fine Easter
basket for you to copy to your "Paint"-type program.
Copy the eggs you find from my site and paste them into this
basket. Color in the basket with your art program or print and
color offline.
I'm doing this just for fun and really don't want to collect
the email addresses of children. This is really a lesson in web
navigation and how to grab clip art from web sites and put in
an art program. Just have fun with it!
