Kick off Easter festivities with an egg rolling competition, and stay for face painting and crafts. Kids can also learn all about how birds build their nests and what materials they use, have a meet and greet with Peppa Pig and her little brother George, and cavort to live music. 

This event is rain or shine. 

Egg Roll Race 2–4pm
Kids can line up to join the egg roll race fun! The rules are simple: 1. Get in line—don’t forget to pick up your Mycelium Egg and NYBG-branded spoon! 2. Put your egg on the lawn, and get ready to roll. 3. Roll your egg to the finish line and have fun! 

Meet Peppa Pig & George
Meet and take a photo with Peppa Pig and her brother, George! Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture this one-of-a-kind photo opportunity. 

Face Painting
Clay Family Picnic Pavilions
Choose a whimsical design in the spirit of spring. Face Art by Melissa and her team of amazing artists transforms visitors into tigers, butterflies, flowers…or wherever your imagination takes you. 

Make a Bird-Nesting Bag
Craft a bag of yarn, feathers, and other colorful items wrapped up in tulle. Once at home, hang it in a tree and watch birds collect the items to weave into their seasonal nests. 

Egg Sculpture Making
Start your own egg sculpture (made from mycelium) and watch it develop over the week! Learn all about mushrooms and mycelium—the root-like structure that makes up most of this fascinating fungus. 

Decorate Your Egg Spoon
Decorate your own spoon to commemorate the egg roll competition. 

Learn About Eggs & Nests
