At the Table, Please! Ideas for Easter Breakfast
Great ideas for Easter breakfast with the family
There’s hardly a better way to start the holidays at Easter than with a cozy Easter breakfast. Celebrating together, sitting at a pretty table, enjoying treats, and chatting is fun for children too. And they are thrilled when they can help with the preparations. Feel free to decorate, craft, and bake to your heart’s content.
Set the table
Setting and decorating the table is fun even for the smallest children. On an Easter walk, you can collect flowers, pussy willows, or other branches for breakfast. We rummaged through our craft box and picked out two craft ideas for you that will enhance any table.

Rooster cards
You can craft place cards together with your children. For Easter, we chose poultry and made funny rooster cards.
You need: colored and printed construction paper, scissors, glue, black marker, and a few feathers.
How to: Cut out cards and circles from construction paper. We used plain construction paper for the cards and printed construction paper for the circles. Cut out triangles for the beaks, round eyes, and a rooster comb. Draw pupils.
Stick the cards as shown. If necessary, secure the feathers inside with a bit of tape. Label with names, done. Cock-a-doodle-doo!
Breakfast
At Easter, everything your heart desires can be on the breakfast table: rolls, bread, croissants, cheese, sausage, jam, fruit salad, …
Traditionally, there are lots of yeast pastries, eggs, and carrots. On Maundy Thursday, as the name suggests, there is plenty of greenery like spinach and green sauce. We have selected two recipes for you with the two classic ingredients. A sweet recipe with carrots and a savory one with eggs.
