📖 Story: The Easter Bunny Cookies Who Didn’t Want to Be Dessert

It was a sunny spring morning, and Mrs. Jamie—the fluffiest sheep in town—was busy baking in her cozy farmhouse kitchen. She was hosting the biggest Easter dinner of the year and had just finished making a tray of fresh, warm Easter bunny cookies.

Each cookie was adorable: long frosting ears, gumdrop noses, and jellybean toes. They smelled like cinnamon sugar and looked too cute to eat.

Mrs. Jamie set them on the tray and trotted to the pantry. “I’ll grab the icing,” she hummed.

But when she came back…

The tray was EMPTY.

She gasped. “Where did they go?!”

Just then, she peeked out the kitchen window—and couldn’t believe her eyes.

All twelve bunny cookies were running through the tall green grass as fast as their little frosting legs could carry them!

The cookies giggled and zipped into the barn.

“We did it!” they cheered, high-fiving.
One cookie, named BunBun, turned to his best buddy HunnyBunny and said, “Look! A tractor!”

The cookies piled in. Some grabbed the steering wheel, others hit the gas pedal.

They chugged right past the pond where Mr. Catfish yelled,
“Slow it down, you frosting-fueled speedsters!”

The bunny cookies laughed so hard they nearly bounced off the tractor.

Mrs. Jamie dashed outside shouting, “Get back here, you silly little bunnies!”

But the cookies weren’t done yet.

They spotted a field full of donkeys. “Let’s ride!” cried HunnyBunny.

Each cookie climbed onto a donkey, galloping across the fields like wild cowboys.
They reached a sheep family having a delicious Easter cookout.

The picnic table was covered in tasty food—ham slices, deviled eggs, green beans, and tiny carrot cakes.

The cookies leaped onto the table and shouted,
“Fill your pockets!”

They stuffed themselves with as much food as they could carry. One cookie even wore deviled eggs as shoes!

The sheep yelled, “Get out of our food, you silly bunnies!”

The cookies jumped off the table and ran into the woods.

There, they startled a family of skunks who sprayed them all at once—PEW!

“Ewwww!” the cookies cried, coughing and giggling as they ran.

They passed a creek where a group of crawdad's were painting their tiny new house.
The cookies knocked over buckets and ran through paint, ending up covered in colorful polka dots.

They looked at each other—and laughed even harder.
“We look like Easter eggs!”

Soon, they stumbled into a sunny field where cows were holding a brownie bake sale.

The cookies jumped up on the stand, grabbed armfuls of brownies, and ran.

“Hey! Get away from our brownies!” the cows mooed.

Finally, the twelve bunny cookies made it back to Mrs. Jamie’s house.

She stood at the door, hooves on her hips.

“WHERE do you think you're going? I was going to serve you at the party!”

The cookies dropped their loot.

“We brought something else instead!” they said.

Out came ham slices, brownies, deviled eggs, green beans, and carrot cakes.

Mrs. Jamie blinked. “This must be a dream… Cookies don’t talk.”

Just then, all her sheep friends and family arrived. Everyone gathered at the table—including the cookies.

The Easter feast was perfect… except for one tiny thing.

A mysterious skunky smell in the air.

The bunny cookies just winked at each other and giggled.

The End.

Glue on googly eyes and maybe a smile or confused expression on the crayfish’s face!
Title it: “Oops! Crawdad’s Paint Spill!”

Brownie Bake Sale Game: “Build-a-Brownie Station”

Objective: Kids get to pretend they’re at the brownie bake sale with the cow and decorate their own “brownies” using craft materials or real snacks.

SETUP:

Create a pretend "Brownie Station" with a table labeled “Brownie Bake Sale” (or your own cute name). Set up trays or small bins with:

Confetti sequins, pom-poms, buttons (sprinkles)
Cotton balls (whipped cream)
Brown construction paper cutouts shaped like brownies (optional)
Stickers: hearts, bunnies, jellybeans

HOW TO PLAY:

Each child gets a pretend brownie base (brown paper square).
Let them walk through the “station” and pick toppings to decorate.
Add a “cash register” and play money if you want to practice counting and selling brownies at the cow’s stand.
Kids can either keep their brownies or "sell them" to the cow character (teacher/parent in costume or puppet)!

Optional Snack Version:

Let them decorate real brownies with:

Sprinkles
Mini marshmallows
Bunny-shaped candies
Colored icing dots
