COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – The Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind (CSDB) is expanding its accessible Easter egg hunt. For the first time, children not part of the CSDB student body will participate in today’s hunt.
Every April, CSDB uses special eggs to host an egg hunt for its blind and low vision students. Each egg has an electronic noise maker inside, so children who can’t see well can use their hearing to find the eggs.
This year, CSDB wanted to expand its impact. In addition to its 35 participating preschool and elementary school students, the school extended an invitation to the entire blind and low vision community. It said it expects 10 children to attend this year who are not part of the student body.
The egg hunt is on Thursday from 1:30 to 3 p.m on the front lawn of the school’s historic Lions building off of N. Institute Street.
