Easter Rabbit Two
Easter Baskets
Little Easter

Easter baskets under a tree
(hop

One for you (hold up right fist)
See how his
ears go flop flop flop
And one for me (hold up left fist)
(put hands on head like
ears) I peeked in one
basket (pretend to peek in basket)
See how his
eyes go blink blink blink
And what did I see?
(point to eyes and
blink) A new baby
chick smiling at me! (pop thumb out of fist)
See how his
nose goes twink twink twink Then I
looked in the other (peek in other basket)
(wiggle
nose) And
what do you think?
Pet his white
coat so soft and furry
Out popped a bunny (pop thumb out of other fist)
(pretend to pet
bunny) Quick as
a wink!
Hop hop hop
he's off in a
hurry!
(hop hand away)
Little Bunny
Here is
a Bunny
There was a little bunny
Here is a
bunny
Who lived in the wood (make finger ears)
With ears so
funny (hold up 2
fingers) He wiggled his
ears
And here is
his hole in the ground
Like a good
bunny should (wiggle fingers)
(make O shape with
hand) He
hopped by a squirrel (hop fingers)
When a noise
he hears, he perks up his
ears He hopped by a tree
(make finger ears
jump) He
hopped by a duck
And runs to
his hole in the ground
And he hopped
by me!
(put ears in
hole)
He winked at the squirrel (point to eye)
He winked at the tree
Ten
Fluffy Chicks
He winked at the duck
Five
eggs (hold up 5
fingers) But
he made faces at me! (wiggle nose)
And five
eggs (hold up 5 more fingers)
That makes
ten
Mr. Rabbit
Sitting on
top is the mother hen (lock fingers, knuckles
up) Mr. Rabbit has a habit that is very cute to see
Crack, crack,
crack, what do I see? (wiggle fingers apart)
He wrinkles up and crinkles up
Ten baby
chicks as yellow as can be (hold up 10
fingers) His little nose at me!

Rabbit
Doesn't Have A Tail At All
Song - Sung to London
Bridge
Rabbit
doesn't have a tail at all
Tail at all, tail at all
Rabbit doesn't have a tail at all
Just a powder puff
His ears are longer than his tail
Than his tail, than his tail
His ears are longer than his tail
It's a powder puff
Did You Ever See A Bunny?
Song - 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
- Additional
Verses:
That hops so fast
That hops backwards
That hops on one foot

Wiggle goes one ear. (Wiggle one finger)

Hop, hop, hop, hop Home to your mother! (Hop away in four hops)
I Had an
Easter Bunny
I had an
Easter bunny. (Hold up one finger)
One day she ran away. (make fingers "run")
I looked for her by moonlight. (Hand shading eyes)
I looked for her by day.
I found her in the meadow
With her babies 1, 2, 3.
So now I have four rabbit pets
To run and jump with me!

Egg Poem
Eggs come in many sizes.
Eggs hold some big surprises,
Speckled, brown, white, or blue.
Eggs hold babies that are new.
Chicks from eggs are fluffy yellow,
Chicks from eggs are funny fellows!
Finding a Treat
Hippy hop, hippity hop.
Will the Easter Bunny stop?
Will he leave a treat behind,
An Easter basket for me to find?
I'll look over here, I'll look over there,
I'll look behind things, I'll look everywhere
I'll look until I find my treat,
And then I'll sit right down and eat.
Easter Hat
I'll make a pretty Easter hat,
To wear at Easter time
I'll put some flowers on it,
And a bow will make it fine.
We'll fasten on some ribbons,
All pretty pink and blue,
Then we'll take a picture,
And I'll give it to you.
See the Easter Bunny
Tune - Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush
See how the bunny hops along, hops along, hops along. (children
crouch and hop)
See how the bunny hops along,
On an Easter morning.
This is the way he wiggles his nose, wiggles his nose, wiggles his
nose (children wiggle nose)
This is the way he wiggles his nose,
On an Easter morning.
This is the way he flops his ears..................etc..
This is the way he flops his tail (wave hand behind you) ...etc
