Correct answer: Eier bemalen painting eggs
Why?
Painting eggs is an Easter custom in Germany, and children look for coloured eggs hidden in the garden or at home. Children are told that the Easter Bunny, the Osterhase, brings the eggs. The fir tree belongs to Christmas, fireworks to New Year’s Eve and pumpkins to Halloween.
