Ive also been introduced to a charming tradition just for Easter: the butter lamb!

Butter lambs are popular and readily available in areas where there is a substantial Polish population.
Another popular brand to look for isDanish Maid Butterfrom the south side of Chicago.
Both companies tout selling over 100,000 butter lambs each Easter season.
Check out your local delis, Polish specialty markets and general grocery stores.
However, you could also make your own!
Many families have made carving or sculpting their own butter lamb an Easter tradition.

Finally, you’re free to mold it.
Perhaps your Easter butter lamb comes out a little wonky.
Perhaps it looks more like a dog than a lamb.
It will still taste great and make for a fantastic story for years to come.
