Helsinki children museum

The Easter is just on the corner, also means spring is getting closer and closer :-P Last Saturday Helsinki Children Museum had yearly Easter happening, where kids and parents came to make their own Easter decorations.

The museum is not that big with 5 rooms filled with some historical photos, farm animal models such as horse, cow, pig, birds, bugs and so on. Opposite of the museum there is a horse stable. In such a snowing day, horses were staying outside. I wonder whether they feel cold or not?

Bobo was extremely happy, "touch this and touch that".

Chicks, bunnies, eggs, green grass are typical Easter decorations. During the Easter season, people love to buy seeds and growing the grass, then put own favorite decorations. Or get Narcissus flowers eagerly waiting for its booming. Yellow and green are Easter's colors.

It's another marketing season for candy in the supermarket after the Christmas. Different kinds of chocolate bunnies, chocolate eggs filling the shelves. During the Easter weekends, kids would bring along Easter decoration made by themselves visiting door to door. While singing traditional Easter song they wave the Easter decoration branches to symbol getting rid of all evil spirits. After that they are expected to get candies in exchanging of their decoration.

There are special food dedicated for Easter, such as mämmiä, lamb...
