Joyful Spring Customs

Spring brings a basket full of fun traditions, and the Easter Bunny is at the heart of many of them. Let’s hop into the world of this cheerful character and see what makes it so special.

A Hare with a Basket

Long ago, people in Europe told stories of a hare that would carry a basket filled with colorful eggs, candies, and sometimes even toys to the homes of children. It was said that this hare, known as the Easter Bunny, would do this only on the night before Easter Sunday.

Why Eggs, Anyway?

Eggs have been a symbol of life and rebirth for thousands of years. They represent the start of new life, just as plants begin to grow again in the spring. The tradition of giving eggs has been linked to many spring festivals throughout history.

Around the World with the Easter Bunny

While the Easter Bunny is most famous in countries like the United States and Germany, different places have their own versions. In Switzerland, it’s the cuckoo that brings the eggs, and in parts of the UK, children look forward to a visit from the Easter Fox or Easter Stork!

Crafts and Creativity

One of the best parts of this season is making Easter crafts. People all over the world decorate eggshells with dyes, stickers, and even gold leaf. Some families make nests for the Easter Bunny to fill with eggs, using grass, twigs, and leaves.
