Together you can form your body into all the things that Bunny talks about throughout the book (ie. ball up on the floor to turn into rocks, just like Bunny) .
- Make a Bunny Pancake Breakfast! Make pancakes using your favorite recipe or follow this easy recipe, and design them into a Bunny together like this!
- Use play-dough to make counting carrots, color the different shades of green, practice writing the letter B, or do one of the other simple crafts that this mom blogs about here!
- Eat a carrot just like Bunny! This root vegetable is full of beta-carotene, which is what gives the orange color, as well as, so many other vitamins and nutrients like: vitamin A, C, K, potassium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and more! Read about the health benefits of this bright veggie here!
- Show your love! Think of the many ways that you show love to your family, and then share them together. Even if it is just a big hug!
