        Did you Ever see a Bunny? - sung to "Did you ever see a lassie?"

        Did you ever see a bunny, a bunny, a bunny,
        Did you ever see a bunny, that hops -- so slow?
        He hops, and hops, and hops, and hops,
        Did you ever see a bunny, that hops so slow?

        Joe The Bunny - sung to "I'm a Little Teapot"

        I'm a little bunny, my name is Joe.
        (hold up two fingers)
        I hop fast and I hop slow.
        (hop fingers around fast and slow)
        Whenever I get sleepy, my ears droop low,
        (bend fingers down)
        But after my nap, up they go!
        (hold fingers straight up)

        Bunny Upside Down In Pot

        Just wanted to let you all in on a cute Easter craft that my dcks did on Wednesday. It REALLY turns out cute and is relatively easy and very cheap. You will need: small teracotta pots (sp?), Jumbo plastic eggs, filler paper (crinkle design or Easter grass), cotton balls, Foamies 9x12 foam sheet in pink or fuschia and one in white. I painted the pots white prior to the kids getting them, then allowed them to sponge paint (actually dab with cotton balls) pastel colors on them. I then cut about 1/2 inch or a little more off the top of a dixie cup and glued that inside the pot and then glued the plastic egg (pointy side DOWN) into the dixie cup. I ran a ribbon of craft glue around the inside edge of the pot and the kids stuck the crinkle design filler paper to the glue (some sticks out, etc.). I also cut and glued the Foamies into bunny feet (white was the actual feet and the fuschia was cut for the pads of the feet) and then I glued the pads of the feet onto the white part of the foot and they glued the feet onto the egg. The last thing they did was to glue a cotton ball on as a tail. (It is supposed to look like a bunny sticking upside down in a pot since I haven't told you that before this.) Anyway, I know my directions stink, but they really do turn out SOOOOOO cute and the kids had a blast doing them. The parents loved them as well.

        "I just made the bunny upside down in the pot by Traci in ND and for the feet I used an egg shape and for the pads of the feet a heart and for toes punch out from the hole punch and 1 1/2 inch pom poms for the tail. She is right Soooooooo cute." -- Sherry in OK

        Bunny Tag

        A child begins by being "it". Everyone hops like a bunny
        trying to keep from getting tagged by the child that's "it".

        Make paper rabbits with numbers on their stomachs and cover
        with clear adhesive plastic. Pass out rabbits to children
        and have them put as many buttons on the stomach as shown by
        the numeral. Pass rabbits to the left and repeat.
