Wood Easter Eggs with Custom Imprint
Our parent company, Wells Wood Turning & Finishing, was thrilled to provide the official wood eggs for this year’s traditional White House Easter Egg Roll.
The 2026 official wood eggs were painted in patriotic red, white and blue to commemorate the country's 250th anniversary. The set of five also included a gold egg and a pastel blue -- everyone always loves the pastels! The gold egg was imprinted with the Presidential Seal, with the others imprinted with the Presidential Coat of Arms. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump’s signatures were printed on the other side.
The Egg Roll itself took place Monday, April 6, on the South Lawn of the White House. It is a continuing tradition started in 1878 by President Rutherford B Hayes. The event includes an Easter egg hunt, egg roll, storytelling and live musical performances. The commemorative wood eggs are given to children and families as they leave the event. Sets of eggs in a nice gift box are also sold by the White House Historical Association. The number of wood eggs given out varies from year to year but typically approaches 100,000.
