With Easter, one of the most important events on the Christian calendar, comes one of the silliest traditions – Easter hat parades at Australian schools.
Adorning a new Easter bonnet is a tradition meant to represent the promise of spiritual renewal. They can also be wonderfully amusing.
Have you or your child or your pet been draped and dazzled in a homemade headpiece of itchy materials vaguely resembling bunny ears, or a bird’s nest, or a colourful garden of flowers one would frolic through on a crisp Spring day?
Easter hat number 2!

Eyeholes were a last minute addition, when the previously too-small hat became too-large tomorrow!! pic.twitter.com/dZYLn3xdKo
We want to see your triumphs and fails.
It could be a hat from your childhood or your child’s hat. Either way, we want to hear about and see your over-the-top, somewhat underwhelming, or just plain weird Easter hats.
(My personal favourite fail is this mother’s attempt at a giraffe-hat, turned phallic).
Let the hat games begin
