We had such a positive response to our first virtual egg hunt that we decided to do it again this year. Let’s have an egg hunt from our cars and on our walks. Search windows, businesses, and more to find eggs all around Champaign-Urbana and beyond.
Looking for something fun to do over spring break? Hoping to encourage the kids to get out for a walk with the warmer temps? It’s time to bring a little springtime joy to our kids and everyone in our neighborhoods.
We’re planning the biggest-ever egg hunt right in your Champaign-Urbana area neighborhood (yes, that includes Savoy, Tolono, Mahomet, Rantoul, Fisher, St. Joseph, Monticello, Paxton, Tuscola and more :=).
Here’s where you come in – we need your help.
Families and businesses are invited to submit their addresses to the egg map (below). Then you can “hunt” for the eggs while you are driving, riding bikes, or out on your neighborhood walks.
Now …. HOP TO IT, Champaign-Urbana and beyond! (NOTE: this is *not* a real egg hunt!)
Thank you to our friends at Christie Clinic for presenting this event. Be sure to look out for the giant Christie Clinic eggs on display at their Windsor location, 1801 W. Windsor Rd., Champaign. (We’ll post a pic soon!)
How to Submit Your Home or Business to the Egg Hunt
- Decorate an egg (paper, ha) and hang it on your window, door, mailbox – whatever works for your family. Get as crazy or as fancy as you want! We created some egg coloring pages for you to download and print for your Easter Egg Hunt. Share these with your family, friends, and neighbors, or feel free to make your own – get as creative as you would like.
- If you are a business participating in the egg hunt, feel free to print out the image below to hang where patrons can see it, and don’t forget your eggs!
- Click here to submit your address to be added to the map, or scroll down and enter below.
- Share this information on social media – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Snapchat to show that you are participating. Tag us – @chambanamoms and #chambanaplays.
- We will be giving away prizes to some participants – those who post eggs and those who look for them! Christie Clinic will be giving away a summer starter kit basket and we will be offering “Future is Kindness” shirts in children’s sizes. And we’ll have $10 gift cards to local businesses to 10 lucky participants!
