The Easter countdown is on: A plush bunny hiding sweets and sometimes even little surprises – what could be better? Not only Christmas, but also Easter is an exciting time for the youngest among us: everything is more colourful than usual, people are out and about again, and they are busy painting Easter eggs for Easter Sunday.
Chick, egg, and Easter bunny: our favourite recipes, craft ideas, and Easter rituals
Cheeky cress!
The highlight on the Easter table What would an Easter Sunday morning be without fresh, crispy buttered bread with freshly “harvested” cress on top? That’s right! – It wouldn’t be a real Easter Sunday! But let’s spice it up a bit and make a fun eye-catcher at the Easter table. These cress eggs are great to make or sow with your kids a few days before and are guaranteed to get a laugh or two; especially if you paint funny faces or stick googly eyes on them 😊 We love them!

Did you know that you can plant lollies?
You don’t believe us? At first, we were a little skeptical too – but it really only works on one day of the year – Holy Saturday. Believe it or not, the very next day the seeds are already bearing fruit. How does it work? Simply press a few small sweets into the bed, a flower pot, or the lawn, wait one night and VOILÀ lollies suddenly pop out of the ground! A magical Easter ritual that makes children’s eyes light up!Yes, we like it, the Germ!
At Easter it is a must – we are talking about the Easter “striezel”. Fluffy, fluffy yeast dough spread with a little butter, maybe a dab of homemade jam – that’s what tradition tastes like! On Easter Monday, many children are surprised by their godparents with a small gift basket, which usually contains small gifts, but also the traditional Easter Striezel. A yeast dough pastry plaited into a plait, wreath, or croissant that tastes simply amazing – we have a recipe here for yeast nests that will brighten up any Easter table! Grab your kids and get to work on the yeast! 😊
