The Bunny Trail

Posted by

Growing up the Easter Bunny (my Mom) would leave both my sister I a trail each year to find our Easter baskets. It was known as the bunny trail. Each clue would have a small gift or candy with it and directions on where to go for the next clue. We loved it and kept it up all through high school.

Last year, when Abby was 2, was the first year we started doing it with Abby. It went fairly well and she seemed to like it. Though, with each clue she would get distracted by whatever was there and we would have to redirect her to keep going on the bunny trail. Today I have just finished making the clues for the bunny trail. We still need to go out and get the candy and whatever we want to put in her basket. We aren’t extravagant with this holiday, but just do some candy and maybe some small gifts like art supplies.

I’m glad I was able to be home yesterday and today so I could get this done for Abby. Zach is sick again with a double ear infection and a cold. Poor guy! It seems like every time he gets a cold recently it turns into an ear infection.

I will let you know how the bunny trail goes this year.

    I’m so glad to see the Bunny Trail tradition being carried on to the next generation. I followed a Bunny Trail when I was a kid, and each generation makes it even better! Hope Abby enjoys it on Easter!

    I was one of those lucky kids that had the Easter Bunny visit both home and grandma’s house. And at grandma’s, the Easter Bunny did the bunny trail. I loved it! So now the Easter Bunny does it here. each egg has a little rhyming riddle to lead to the next (which is getting hard to come up with original stuff each year).

    Before my son could read, each egg had a photo of something in the house – a refrigerator, bathtub, etc to lead him. Now they both can read (yay! and also awww…my babies are growing up)
