Traditional Easter Figures

The Easter bunny may get top billing, but spring has a wonderfully crowded supporting cast. Chicks peek out from decorated eggs, lambs bring their woolly texture to tabletop displays, ducks arrive in their springtime finest and imaginative characters turn familiar Easter imagery into something completely their own. Together, they give an Easter collection far more personality than rabbits alone.

Spring animals are especially fun to collect because artists interpret them in so many different ways. A lamb might be covered in soft wool, a chick can be brightly flocked or feathered, and a duck can range from sweet and traditional to wonderfully eccentric. Add Easter children, mice, frogs and other unexpected personalities, and the display begins to feel like a little spring world rather than a collection built around one character.

Lori Mitchell is an especially important part of the assortment, bringing her distinctive hand painted folk art style to Easter children, animals and storybook inspired personalities. Bethany Lowe Designs takes another approach with nostalgic figures, wool covered animals, paper mâché and imaginative mixed materials. Joe Spencer adds the softer dimension of stuffed fabric characters, while other makers explore flocking, feathers, paper pulp, resin and natural looking textures.

These figures are made for mixing. Start with a taller character or pair of figures, then work smaller chicks, lambs and other animals into the spaces around them. Decorated eggs and Easter grass can fill the lower areas, while bottle brush trees introduce height and help frame the scene. The pieces do not need to match perfectly. Different textures, scales and personalities are what make a spring collection feel gathered over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of figures can I collect besides Easter bunnies?

Easter and spring decorating includes a surprisingly large cast of characters. Chicks, ducks, lambs, sheep, children and other spring animals are traditional choices, while individual artists may introduce mice, frogs and more imaginative characters. Mixing several types of figures can make a display feel more like a complete spring scene.

How can I display Easter figures of different sizes?

Use the largest figures to establish focal points, then arrange medium and smaller pieces around them rather than lining everything up evenly. Bottle brush trees can add vertical interest, while eggs and Easter grass work well closer to the surface. Leaving a little open space between groups also helps individual figures stand out.

Can I mix Easter figures from different artists?

Absolutely. Instead of trying to match every piece, look for shared colors, materials or themes. Pastel tones can connect very different artistic styles, while repeated chicks, lambs, eggs or spring flowers can provide continuity. Mixing folk art, nostalgic and whimsical figures often gives a collected display more character.
