Colourful Easter

The festival of colours 

Easter with Götz & your family

Why do we actually celebrate Easter?

You're probably looking forward to painting Easter eggs and receiving colorful gifts. But have you ever wondered why we celebrate Easter? Easter is the oldest Christian festival and commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Therefore, at Easter, we celebrate the renewal of life.


And why are the eggs colourful at Easter?

Christians were not allowed to eat eggs during Holy Week. However, the diligent hens continued to lay their eggs. To prevent the many eggs from spoiling, they were boiled and painted in bright colours to distinguish them from the raw eggs.


Did you know?

The role of the sole "egg-bringer" has not been assigned to the Easter Bunny for so long. In Westphalia, the fox used to bring the eggs, in Thuringia, the stork, in Switzerland, the cuckoo, in Schleswig-Holstein, Upper Bavaria, and Austria, the rooster.

Design your own Easter nest with Götz!


Dear parents and children,

Easter is just around the corner, and at Götz, we want to make this special holiday even more beautiful by inviting you to create your own Easter nest together! Immerse yourselves in the creative world of Easter preparations and craft a unique nest for the Easter bunny with your own hands.

Step 1: Gathering Materials Before starting the crafting, gather together everything you need for your Easter nest. Get a bowl or basket as a base, as well as moss, colorful ribbons, feathers, and other decorations that you like. Don't forget to include a few of our beautiful Götz dolls to make your nest extra cosy!

Step 2: Let Your Creativity Flow Start together and unleash your creativity! Place the moss as a soft base in your Easter nest and then adorn it with colourful ribbons and other decorations. Tie small bows, add glittering accents, and place the feathers to make your nest particularly festive. Remember to leave space for our Götz dolls – they will feel especially comfortable in your homemade Easter nest!

Step 3: Invite the Götz Dolls Once your Easter nest is ready, invite our Götz dolls to take a seat in it. Place them gently in your nest and make yourselves comfortable together. Perhaps you can even tell a little Easter story or perform a puppet show to increase the anticipation of Easter!

Step 4: Await the Easter Bunny Now, all that's left to do is be patient and await the Easter bunny! Once the Easter nest is ready and the Götz dolls have made themselves at home, the Easter bunny will surely come by and fill it with delicious surprises. Who knows, maybe you'll also find a few small gifts from Götz in your nest on Easter Sunday!

We wish you lots of fun crafting and decorating your own Easter nest with Götz dolls. May your Easter be as colorful, cheerful, and full of love as your homemade nest!

Happy Easter from the Götz Team!
