A visit from the minimalist easter bunny...

My parents watched Kicky and EZ E this weekend so PRH and I could work on some major projects that we have to finish up this week (more on those later). Since I have zero time between now and easter, one of my tasks was pulling together easter baskets for the kiddos. This year's rabbit is most certainly a minimalist with her black metal buckets, metallic eggs, and minimal amount of candy. In my the rabbit's defense, one of the things that makes me crazy about holidays like easter is all of the waste! We'll definitely use these buckets again, the eggs can be stashed away for next year, and the goodies inside are all things I know Kicky and EZ E will actually play with. I used a magnet to attach the cardboard 'e' and used cloth napkins instead of plastic or paper grass. Here's a look...


Not much handmade (what's that saying about the cobbler's children???), but there's still time to make a few little surprises before easter...


I couldn't resist this weirdo. EZ E's going to think it's hilarious...


Here's where everything is from:

buckets, masks, notebook, wooden bug magnifying glasses- Target
metallic eggs + chocolate rabbits- hobby lobby
wood for handmade peg figures- also hobby lobby, but hand-painted figures are available at The Pretty Pixie

I found all of the other little odds and ends at our favorite local toy store, The Laughing Place, but here are the brand names for those who don't live in or around Owego...

playmobil
plush guinea pig
Schylling i pop monster
metal animal chimes (hanging on bucket)- I can't find the brand name for these, but there are similar charms at sick for cute

Any rabbits out there bringing/making something fabulous? Share your recommendations!
