On April 3, 2026, Group 3 in Kaposv\u00e1r welcomed local history researcher Mrs. Orsi P\u00e1lmai. Mrs. Orsi spoke to the children about the Easter holiday and Easter customs, and the children listened with great interest. After the short presentation, the girls painted eggs in the traditional way, having prepared the eggs together beforehand (boiling and blowing them out). They applied the traditional Somogy patterns to the prepared eggs using wax, but they were also free to draw their own designs. This technique is called “gic\u00e1z\u00e1s.” Afterward, they painted the eggs red, blue, and green. Considering it was the girls\u2019 first time decorating eggs this way, they were very skilled and enthusiastic.\u00a0 In keeping with certain traditions, the boys also prepared sprinkling rhymes and cologne, so they sprinkled every woman and girl, receiving decorated eggs in return. While the girls painted eggs, the boys worked on their projects; as part of the \u201cResponsibility for Nature\u201d project, we made bird feeders. For now, we\u2019ve only made a simple version using a plastic bottle, but we plan to build more attractive\u2014 though slightly more complicated \u2014 wooden bird feeders and birdhouses in the future. We\u2019ve placed the finished bird feeders in the courtyard of the Kaposv\u00e1r community center.<\/p>\n
The Kaposv\u00e1r Group 3 wishes everyone a Happy Easter!<\/p>\n
