Hey there fellow parents and caregivers,
As Easter approaches, it’s time to dive into the wonderful world of traditions, and today, I want to share with you one that holds a special place in my heart: hanging eggs on the tree, a delightful German Easter tradition that brings joy to kids and adults alike.
Picture this: a beautifully decorated tree (in our case a rose bush) adorned not with leaves or flowers, but with delicate, colorful eggs hanging from its branches. It’s a sight to behold and a tradition that has been passed down through generations in Germany.

So, how does it work? Well, it’s quite simple yet very enchanting.
Step 1: Gather your materials
First things first, you’ll need some eggs – https://amzn.to/3wKEiZQ
Step 2: Prepare the tree
Find a suitable tree or branch to serve as your Easter tree. It could be a small indoor/outdoor tree, a potted plant, or even a branch displayed in a vase – anything works as long as it has enough branches to hang the eggs.
Step 3: Hang the eggs
Now comes the fun part! Using ribbons, strings, or hooks, carefully hang your decorated eggs from the branches of the tree. You can mix and match colors and patterns to create a visually stunning display that will delight both young and old.
The colorful eggs swaying gently in the breeze create a magical atmosphere that’s perfect for welcoming the arrival of spring.
As a mom, I can’t help but feel a sense of joy and nostalgia as I watch my kids eagerly decorate our Easter tree each year. It’s a tradition that not only brings us closer together as a family but also allows us to learn about other Easter customs around the world.
So why not give it a try this Easter? Start your own tradition of hanging eggs on the tree and watch as it becomes a cherished part of your family’s celebrations for years to come.
Happy Easter, from our family to yours!
