Easter Gift- Bunny Service Jar

When we had children I decided that each Easter I would give them one item that was of a religious nature.  This year I thought it would be fun to connect the Easter Bunnies mission to the true reason for this holiday.  So, I created a poem that explained this service project/family activity. 

I made one "Bunny Service Jar" for our family; and a printed copy of the poem and bag of cotton balls (bunny tails) for each child.  I will be placing these items in their baskets on Easter.  The jar will be placed on the floor in-between the baskets.

POEM:
I like to serve those I love,
just like the Savior up above.

To thank the One who served us all,
reach out and serve, no matter how small.

For every kindness performed near or far,
put a bunny tail in your service jar.

When all your tails are gone from your sack,
make a bunny treat or have a bunny snack.

Your friend, The Easter Bunny

When each child has placed all of their bunny tails into the service jar we will make and eat this treat as a family. 

Recipe for:

Bunny Pudding Cups 

1 serving of vanilla pudding

2 long cookies

2 chocolate chips

1 teaspoon coconut, toasted

1 pink tiny marshmallow

pink sprinkles

Make the pudding as indicated on the box.  Pour into individual serving cups; set aside.  Using a plastic bag pipe icing onto each cookie creating the inside of a bunny ear.  Sprinkle with pink sprinkles and shake off the excess.  Insert the cookies into the pudding.  Place all other items on top of the pudding so that it resemble a bunny.  If you are feeling adventurous allow each participant to decorate their own.

Have fun!
