A typical Easter Egg hunt sees children running around and finding copious amounts of chocolate, but kids in Somerset found a hand grenade instead.
The event organised by a pre-school group near Holford -- and attended by more than 20 two to five-year-olds -- came to a bizarre end when the explosives were spotted.
One of the children had been seen standing on the device as the eggs were being counted, and organisers moved the kids calmly away from the hand grenade.
Police were called and after an evacuation and closing a road, the grenade was destroyed by bomb disposal teams who later declared the area safe.
It's not thought that they found any more chocolate eggs either.
