As Amy mentioned, we just got back from Anya's first Easter Egg hunt.
Before we all showed up volunteers liberally spread candy, crackers and other snacky items across the very same field where our dog poos every morning, and a conveniently fenced-in tennis court.
They herded all the kids by age groups, sending the older ones to pick through the mud etc., and ushering the more junior of the ranks into the cage.
This was brilliant. All we had to do was station an adult at one of two exits and sing the "clean up" song Anya knows from school and commence taking photos.
I do worry about the lesson Easter teaches our children. Basically it's okay to pick up and eat food you find on the ground as long has you have no idea who it came from or how it got there. If you're near a playground and there is an adult with a camera near by, all the better.
At least--as is evidenced by the picture below--she is learning how to read the package for ingredients.
