egg hunting saying or short poem

[MichelleB]

Does anyone have a short saying or poem about Easter egg hunting? I'm looking for something to finish my scrapbook page. Any sites that have such things???

How about parts of the song "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" - done in two parts, one on either side of of the pictures?
part or all of:
"Here comes Peter Conttontail
Hopping down the bunny trail"
and
"bringing every girl & boy
baskets full of Easter joy"
or
"there'll be jelly beans for [your child's name]
colored eggs for sister [your child's name]"

....or paraphrase that last part as:
"there'll be jelly beans for [your child's name]
colored eggs for hunting too"

That's a cute idea! Mind if I print that off for one of my pages?

OK - I just Googled this I found these:

Eggs
Eggs come in many sizes
Eggs hold some big surprises
Speckled, brown, white, or blue
Eggs hold babies that are new
Chicks from eggs are fluffy yellow
Chicks from eggs are funny fellows!

From this site - there are other things there: http://www.childfun.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=472

Or I kind of like this one - with some modifications to make it about eggs instead of jelly beans.
Red is for the blood He gave
Green is for the grass He made
Yellow is for the sun so bright
Orange is for the edge of night
Black is for the sins we made
White is for the grace He gave
Purple is for His hour of sorrow
Pink is for our new tomorrow

A bag full of jelly beans colorful and sweet,
Is a prayer, is a promise, is a special treat
May the joy of Christ's resurrection
Fill your heart and bless your life

Easter Fingerplay


Five little Easter eggs, lovely colors wore.
Mother ate the blue one, then there were four.
Four little Easter eggs, two and two you see.
Daddy ate the red one, then there were three.
Three little Easter eggs, before I knew.
Sister ate the yellow one, then there were two.
Two little Easter eggs, Oh what fun.
Brother ate the purple one, then there was one.
One little Easter egg, see me run.
I ate the last one, and then there were none.

Easter Bunny

Easter bunny soft and white
Hopping quickly out of sight.
Thank you for the eggs you bring
At Easter time to welcome spring.

Yellow eggs and blue and red
In the grass and flower bed
We will hunt them everywhere
Is it really you who put them there?

Or...
Easter Eggs
Sung to : "Jingle Bells"


Easter eggs,
Easter eggs,
Eggs of orange and blue.
Here are lots of colored eggs,
All for me and you.
Chocolate eggs,
colored brown,
Jelly beans bright green.
Aren't these the most beautiful eggs
That you have ever seen?

Help yourself! I just hope I remember it when I finally get around to doing DD's Easter pages.
