What exactly does the Easter Bunny say to my child?

They greet your child by name, ask how things are going, mention what you told us (their interests, something they achieved) and talk about the eggs they have hidden. If you give specific hiding places, those become clues. The rest is improvised from what your child answers.

What ages does it work for?

Between 3 and 9 is the sweet spot. Younger children are simply amazed that a giant rabbit knows their name; from 6 they start asking questions and negotiating for extra clues.

Is it available all year or only at Easter?

All year, like the rest of the catalogue. Most calls cluster around Easter weekend, but some children love the Bunny in any season.

Can I tell them where I hid the eggs?

Yes, and it is what we recommend most. When you set the call up you can add details about the day, and the Bunny turns them into clues during the conversation.

What languages does the Bunny speak?

English, Spanish and Portuguese. You choose when setting the call up, so it also works for practising a language your child is learning.

How long does the call last?

As long as you decide: it uses the minute balance you have. With an egg hunt waiting, three minutes is usually plenty — beyond that they just want to run off.

Spring

The Easter Bunny calls your child

A video call where the Easter Bunny greets your child by name, asks how they have been and drops hints about where the coloured eggs are hidden.

It works especially well right before the egg hunt: children hang up and run straight off to look.

The Easter Bunny

Calling from the meadow of eggs 🌷

You

In a lot of homes Easter is chocolate eggs and not much else. The Easter Bunny is the character that carries the day across half the world, and turning it into something a child remembers is easy: have the Bunny show up before the hunt and actually talk to them.

Below: how the call works, ideas for the day and — if you are curious, or have a child who asks questions — where the tradition really comes from.

Where the call fits into Easter day

The timing matters more than the length. These are the options that work best:

The night before: the Bunny announces the visit and asks them to go to bed early.
Right before the hunt: the first clue, and off they go.
Midway through, if they have got stuck: one more clue and back to it.
Afterwards, so your child can report how many eggs they found.

A trick: when you set the call up, write down where you hid a couple of eggs. The Bunny turns it into a clue, and your child’s face makes the whole thing worth it.

Where the Easter Bunny comes from

Easter is the Christian feast of the resurrection, but the rabbit handing out eggs does not come from there. It comes from central European folk tradition, and its first written trace is German: in 1682 the physician Georg Franck von Franckenau described the Alsatian custom of the "Osterhase", the Easter hare that hides eggs in the garden for children to find. Even then he described it as an old, well-established habit.

The original animal was not a rabbit but a hare — an animal European folk culture tied to spring and fertility because it can breed several times in a single season. The hare-rabbit mix-up came later, as the custom was translated and travelled.

The egg has its own, older story: a symbol of new life in a great many cultures, it picked up an extra meaning in Christian practice. Eggs were not eaten during Lent, and hens kept laying, so by Easter there was a surplus worth celebrating. Hence the habit of decorating and gifting them, documented in Europe since the Middle Ages.

The tradition crossed the Atlantic with eighteenth-century German emigration, above all the communities that settled in Pennsylvania: children built nests out of grass so the "Oschter Haws" would leave coloured eggs there. That is the version that took hold in the United States and — now with baskets and chocolate — has spread to Britain, Spain, Latin America and Brazil over recent decades.

Which is why the mix varies from house to house. Britain has chocolate eggs and egg rolling; Spain has the "mona de Pascua" alongside the bunny; Brazil has the "Coelhinho da Páscoa" and eggs with a surprise inside; Germany still has actual hares and real nests in the garden.

If your child asks why a rabbit brings eggs when rabbits do not lay them: that is exactly the charm of the story. A spring animal handing out the symbol of new life. The logic arrived after the custom did.

Ideas for the egg hunt

If you are running the hunt at home, a few things that help it last longer than three minutes:

One egg per year of age plus one, so the count is easy to check and nothing stays lost until August.
Split by colour if you have several children: everyone hunts their own and nobody fights.
Hide the last one somewhere genuinely hard and save that clue for the end.
With very young children, "hiding" in plain sight is enough: the fun is finding, not suffering.
Leave a couple of written clues if they can read: it stretches the game at no cost.

Personalized, and no surprises for parents

Before the call you tell us four things: your child’s name, their age, what they love and what they have just achieved. The Bunny uses it in the conversation and genuinely responds to what your child says — this is not a recorded video.

You pay per minute, with no subscription and no auto-renewal, and the balance works with any character in the catalogue. There are no ads inside the call and nothing a child could tap to spend money.
