Five Baby Bunnies
Five baby bunnies hopping out to play,
Hopping in the forest on Easter Day.
The first baby bunny carried his new cane,
He twirled it as he came hopping down the lane.
The second baby bunny came to the river's brink,
Tasted the cool water and took a long, long drink.
The third baby bunny tied her bonnet so new,
Under her chin, a bow of pink, white, and blue.
The fourth baby bunny skipped down the shady lane,
He opened his umbrella just in case of rain
The fifth baby bunny said, "Look what I see!"
Lots and lots of colored eggs hiding near the tree!"
Funny Bunny
This is the bunny with ears so funny,
And this is his hole in the ground.
When a noise he hears, he pricks up his ears,
And then jumps in his hole so round.

Used canned pear halves. Slice two strips from one half
for the ears. Place a complete pear half face down on a bed of
lettuce. Shred carrots for whiskers. Decorate as you wish.
