The History of Stuffed Bunnies

Though not an Easter bunny, the distinction of the first patented stuffed animal went to a bunny: Peter Rabbit in 1903.

Stuffed animals have been around for a long time. Children in Ancient Egypt and Ancient Rome played with stuffed animals made from fabric scraps and straw. But in the late 1800s, a seamstress who made stuffed elephant pincushions noticed that children would often play with the pincushions instead of using them as intended. It was then she started creating stuffed animals as toys.

Why a Bunny for Easter?

While it's true that bunnies are really, really cute, the question remains as to how a bunny wound up to represent what is considered by many to be the most important Christian holiday of the year. Plenty of theories exist as to why a bunny symbolizes Easter, including, but not limited to:

1. In Ancient Mesopotamia, a rabbit symbolized death and rebirth. Early Christians put rabbit symbols on their gravestones to symbolize their faith in the Resurrection.
2. The first documented mentions of an Easter Bunny are believed to have appeared in the 1500s in Germany.
3. German immigrants in the 1700s are believed to have brought over stories to America about an egg-laying bunny called Osterhase. This bunny was said to lay colored eggs and children would create nests in preparation of receiving these eggs on Easter.
4. The pagan fertility festival of Eostre was symbolized by a bunny, so many believe this symbol eventually found its way into Easter celebrations.

Also interesting to note is that not every country has an Easter Bunny. Some countries have an Easter Fox or other animal to represent the holiday.
