Easter Bunny in a Jar
I remember hunting for Easter eggs in my childhood. Hunting around the house and garden, finding little candy eggs and collecting them in a basket. There was always one extra special treat hidden on the bookshelf or under a cushion: the chocolate bunny.
Oh how I loved to find the chocolate bunny, rip open the box, and take the first bite of his ears. Sweet milk chocolate is just too irresistible to not gobble up, bunny or not. It is a fond memory, and one that I would like to share with my family. I may not be able to invite them all to my house for the big hunt, but I can certainly send the sentiment their way with this adorable bunny in a jar craft.

- Remove the red ribbon from the bunny and add a purple one. Add a label to the bunny that reads, “Happy Easter.” Then place the bunny inside the jar.

- Add a few more eggs around the bunny and seal up the jar. Add a label to the side that reads, ” Some Bunny Loves You,” and another “Happy Easter” label to the top of the jar.

One of the best parts of Easter is the Easter egg hunt! This “bunny in a jar” craft is a sweet way to bring the “hunt” to someone who can’t attend. It’s a nice touch that it even includes chocolate Easter eggs!
