Families flooded Springvale Stadium on Sunday for Children's Day.
Kids wandered around clutching pots with flowers in them, while others chased balloons or blew bubbles.
In the entrance, one girl concentrated on carefully applying purple paint to an egg. Behind her sat a table of other colourful, bedazzled, googly-eyed eggs.
Outside, Sport Whanganui coach Sam Atkinson was supervising a game of bat-down.
"The kids got into it straight away," Miss Atkinson said.
