Kids look forward to the arrival of the Easter Bunny and discovering what goodies were left in their baskets all year long – so why not make the celebration even more eggs-citing?! Add these fun Easter Bunny ideas to your holiday line-up to bring some extra excitement to the Easter season!
It’s that time of year… Peter Cottontail is about to be hopping right on down the bunny trail, straight to your house! Yup, Easter is almost here. And that means the Easter Bunny is hard at work, probably running a race against the tortoise – or whatever the famous rabbit does to prepare for the big holiday!
And your kids are probably super excited about the arrival of the Easter Bunny too!
So why not make it “egg-stra” special for them by including one of these fun Easter Bunny ideas into your holiday traditions this year! Whether you’re looking for a few fun surprises for Easter morning or a quick activity the whole family can enjoy, we’ve got you covered.
Sprinkle Bunny Bait on the Lawn
The first step to ensure that Mr. Bunny makes a stop at your house is to leave out some “bait” to entice him into your yard to hide some eggs.
This easy Easter bunny bait is made with rolled oats, spring-colored sprinkles, and a few other simple ingredients. Package up the mix, and tie on the adorable printable tag to make your bunny bait official. Then, simply sprinkle it on your lawn on Easter Eve to make sure the bunny makes a special stop at your home!
Easter Bunny Footprints
What happens when the bunny doesn’t wipe his paws on your Welcome mat before hiding your kids’ Easter baskets? He accidentally leaves his messy white paw prints all over your living room floor!
Use these free printable stencils to make your own Easter Bunny footprints using flour. Just cut out the template, lay it on the floor, and sift flour over the cut-out. Instant bunny tracks in your home to prove the Easter Bunny was there!
Leave a Letter from the Easter Bunny
Easter morning is even more fun when there’s a note waiting from the Easter Bunny himself! These free printable letters from the Easter Bunny come in four adorable styles and are an easy way to surprise your kids—whether you leave one in their basket, on their breakfast plate, or by the front door. It’s a thoughtful way to add something playful and personal to the celebration.
Snap a Picture of the Easter Bunny
You know the old saying, “Seeing is believing”? Well what better way to show your child that the Easter Bunny visited them than showing them an actual photo for proof!
You can easily superimpose an image of the famous bunny onto a photo of your living room or your child’s bedroom using the free app Catch a Character. I used the app to create this fun Easter Bunny idea in under 3 minutes, and I’ve also used it for these fun Tooth Fairy ideas!
Funny Easter Bunny Prank for Your Photos
The Easter Bunny is known for being a little mischievous… he does hop around and hide Easter eggs, after all! So why not add another fun prank into your Easter traditions? Use this free printable bunny ears template to add bunny ears to family photos throughout your house!
So easy to do, and your kids will think it’s hilarious!
Leave Treats for the Easter Bunny
The Easter Bunny will probably be tired from hopping between houses and hiding all of those plastic eggs, so why not leave him a treat? Use these free printable placemats to leave treats for the Easter Bunny, like his favorite carrots and celery sticks!
With designated areas for treats and even a space for the Easter Bunny to leave a surprise, it’s a fun and easy tradition to start (or continue) this year. Just print, color, and set it out the night before for a memorable surprise on Easter morning!
Hide Easter Bunny Money Coupons in Eggs
Running out of ideas for what to put in those plastic Easter eggs (besides more candy)? These printable Easter Bunny Money coupons are a total game changer – fun, creative, and way better than another sugar rush!
I like to add a few of these coupons to my daughters’ Easter baskets also, like they came from the Easter Bunny himself!
Do a Bunny Craft
Prepare for the arrival of everyone’s favorite egg-hiding rabbit with a fun craft! Make this Easter bunny paper plate craft with your kids as a fun after school activity, and then hang the masterpieces on the fridge for the Easter Bunny to marvel at while he’s enjoying the carrots that you left for him.
Make Bunny Rice Krispies Treats
If you’re looking for a sweet Easter treat that’s fun to make and easy on the prep—this one’s for you! These cute little Easter Bunny Rice Krispies Treats come together without any fancy cookie cutters, and they’re loaded with marshmallow-y goodness. Gather a few simple decorations and have a family decorating time for a treat that’s as adorable as it is delicious.
I hope your kids LOVE these Easter bunny ideas! Which idea is your favorite? Mine would have to be the bunny ears photo prank… reminds me of the early 1990’s when we would hold up “bunny ears” with our fingers to prank people in the photos with us!
