The Big Egg Hunt 2013: Day 5

Covent Garden was abuzz with people clutching their £3 hunt pack today. Families, Tourists, couples and singles alike took on the hunt with gusto and stamps for completing the hunt were being given out left, right and centre. There was a fantastic atmosphere in the piazza with lots of people taking photographs of the eggs and really getting into the spirit of the thing. One lady had photographed her daughter in front of all 101 eggs. 

Lots of people even went the extra mile, well the extra 0.3 miles to the Action for Children offices to find the recently disowned Alann.

The at times hilarious at times tragic #FindAlannAHome video

Here is a little map to guide you on your way.

Today's Egg of the Day:

Today I rather like Paul Savage's egg 'The Process of Play'. I don't know very much about this artist but the egg really struck me and I thought it warranted inclusion. It takes recognisable children's toys, dinosaurs, aeroplanes, trucks, and army men and combines them into one unit by painting them all the same colour. They are carefully arranged around the surface of the egg facing the top, this creates a kind of pull upwards, so that wherever you look you're eye is always brought back to the top of the egg.

The more I get to know the eggs the harder it is to pick just one Egg of the day so here are a couple of other peoples favourites......

Our fabulous Lindt master Chocolatieress's favourite egg is....

 The Network Rail egg

A fellow Volunteer's favourite egg is.....

 Penguin's Peter Rabbit Egg (my egg of the day from Day 1!)

Another Volunteer from earlier in the week's favourite egg is....

The Foil by Robin Footitt, people keep asking if this is real chocolate... I wish!

  
An Action for Children employee's favourite egg is....

Sarah Kate Wilson's Egg Disguised as a Pineapple because the pineapple is the international symbol of hospitality.

Another Action for Children employee's favourite egg is....

 Lion Estate by Frank Laws

A Boy doing the hunt with his mum's favourite egg is...... 

 Myung Nam An's Dragon's Eye egg, an original choice as most children have gone for the eggs featuring well loved children's characters.

And Finally an Intern for Action for Children's favourite eggs are.....

So many to chose from she had three (from top to bottom) Jessica May's lovely egg (very appropriate for London Fashion Week), Golden By James Joyce and Equinox by Barbie Harrison

It is incredible what a range of favourites we have but there truly is something for everyone so get down to do the big egg hunt tomorrow before it goes off on it's travels around England.
