Story: "The Easter Bunny Who Forgot Where He Hid the Eggs"

It was the night before Easter, and Beeper the Bunny was hopping through the garden with a basket full of colorful eggs. He was so excited, he wiggled his nose twice and did a little bunny dance.

“I’m going to hide these eggs in the BEST places!” Beeper said.

He zoomed all over town, hiding eggs under flower pots, in birdhouses, behind wheelbarrows, inside teacups, and even in a boot!

He was feeling pretty proud—until he got home and realized…

He forgot where he put every single one.

“Oh no!” he gasped. “I hid them TOO well!”

The next morning, the Easter Bunny woke up to knocks at the door.

“Where are the eggs?” asked the kittens.
“We brought our baskets!” said the ducklings.
“We want our Easter hunt!” cheered the piglets.

Beeper’s ears drooped.

“I, uh… might’ve forgotten where they are…”

The animals all looked at each other.

“Let’s help him!” said a squirrel.

And so began the Great Easter Egg Search!

They searched in funny places:

In the mailbox (where they found a jellybean stuck to a stamp)
In Grandma Goat’s knitting basket (she almost knitted an egg into a scarf!)
Inside a tuba (that one made a funny noise when it rolled out!)
On top of a goat’s head (she had no idea it was balancing there!)
One was even stuck in a peanut butter sandwich at the café.

Every time they found an egg, they cheered!
“Beeper! We found another one!”

Beeper wiggled with joy.

By the end of the day, they had found ALL the eggs. (Well… maybe not the one inside the boot. That one squished.)

The whole town celebrated with an egg-decorating party and lots of carrot cupcakes.

From then on, Beeper made a rule:

“Next year, I’m making a map!”

The End.

Create the Background Page:
- On a plain piece of cardstock or construction paper, glue a decorated Easter egg in the middle of the page.
Hide the Egg:
- Glue the boot on top of the egg on only three sides so it acts like a flap or pocket.
- When you lift the boot, the egg is “hidden” underneath!
Decorate Everything:
- Add grass, flowers, or draw Beeper the Bunny in the corner!

Whipped topping or marshmallows (optional “boot fluff”)

Instructions:

Fill the “boot”:
- Add a layer of chocolate pudding or crushed graham crackers to the bottom of the cup (muddy boot base).
Hide the egg:
- Gently place a candy egg inside the “mud.”
- You can cover it slightly to make it look hidden!
Decorate the top:

Game: Bunny’s Silly Memory Hunt

Hide large paper eggs around the room in silly places (under cups, in a shoe, in a hat).

Let kids:

Use clues to guess where the eggs are
Point, hop, or tiptoe to the location
Shout “FOUND IT!” and place it in the Easter basket

Encourages observation, memory, and group play!

🎵 Song: “Beeper Forgot Again!” (Tune: “Bingo”)

There was a bunny full of joy,
But he forgot his places...
E-G-G-G-G
E-G-G-G-G
E-G-G-G-G
Oh where’d he put those eggs now?!

🎵 Song: “Where’d I Hide My Egg?”

(Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”)

Where’d I hide my Easter egg?
Was it near that stump or shed?
In a boot or on the swing?
Under flowers or in a ring?
I don’t know—I lost my track!
