Family Day: Bunny Tails

For Family Day a little while ago, we based our activities on a children's book titled Fuzzy Wuzzy Bunny Tails By Raegan Randolph, Illustrated by Margie Moore.

We read the book to the kids the night before so they knew what to look forward to.

In the morning we got up and had breakfast like they did in the book.

Then, the bunnies picked flowers in the garden, and we made flowers. We traced all of our hands on construction paper and cut them out. We curled the fingers with a pencil then glued the bottoms of two hands to a popsicle stick stem. So we ended up with 4 flowers, a simple craft for the kids to be involved with.

The next part in the book, the bunnies help pick vegetables for dinner. We cut up vegetables and meat to throw in the crockpot for our dinner.

Time to go to town. "The bunnies stop at the general store." We went to Costco to get supplies for our Monticello trip, and enjoyed a nice lunch there as well.

The next stop in the book was the candy store where the little bunnies each got a bag of jelly beans. We took our little bunnies to the dollar store where they each got a bag of jelly beans.

When the bunnies in the book got home, they painted Easter eggs, so we printed off a few Easter egg pictures from the internet and let the kids go at them with paint.

We were running short on time so we skipped a few parts in the book (parts the kids wouldn't miss too much) and went on to the dinner part of the book.

We had one more errand to run after dinner, so as the Mama bunny read the bunnies their favorite bedtime story in the book, we loaded the kids in the car and read them the bunny book one more time so they could fall asleep while we were driving.
