Why do we decorate bonnets at Easter?

It's a colourful tradition which goes back to when people would wear new clothes to church at Easter, including a fancy new hat - or bonnet.

It symbolises new beginnings as Christians believe Easter is a time for renewal.

Children in the UK now decorate bonnets and lots of competitions are held at schools.

There is also a famous Easter bonnet parade held in New York in America every year, where people showcase their weird and wonderful bonnet designs.
