As it is the Easter weekend, Review spoke to a few parents in Polokwane to find out how they build up to the Easter and how they introduce the Easter Bunny and Easter eggs to their children
POLOKWANE – Fantasy and imaginative playing form a crucial part of a child’s development as children use a fantasy to envision a end goal.
Parents can instigate a child’s creativity by inspiring imaginative thinking with tale tales of the Easter Bunny, Santa Clause and the tooth fairy and many other imaginative fantasy characters to make childhood fun and exciting.
The story of the Easter Bunny is thought to have become common in the 19th Century. Rabbits usually give birth to a big litter of kittens, so they became a symbol of new life. Legend has it that the Easter bunny lays, decorates and hides eggs as they are also a symbol of new life. Easter eggs represent Jesus’ resurrection, however, this association came much later through Roman Catholicism.
