The Easter Bunny Who Was Afraid of Eggs
🐰🥚 A Wobbly, Hoppy, Silly Lesson for Toddlers
Story: "The Easter Bunny Who Was Afraid of Eggs"
In a bright meadow full of tulips and giggles lived a fluffy bunny named Jiggles.
Jiggles was the official Easter Bunny. He had the fluffiest tail, the fastest hop, and the biggest job: delivering all the Easter eggs.
There was just one teeny-tiny problem…
Jiggles was afraid of eggs.
Not eating them. Not coloring them.
Just… when they wobbled.
And Easter eggs always wobbled.
“Okay, Jiggles,” said the chick supervisor. “Time to load the eggs!”
Jiggles tiptoed to the basket.
One little egg rolled slightly to the side.
WOBBLE.
“AAAHH!” screamed Jiggles, and he hopped straight into a flowerpot.
The chicks sighed. “Not again.”
The next day, they tried again.
This time, Jiggles wore wobbly-proof boots, earmuffs (in case they made a sound), and goggles (just in case they rolled too fast).
He picked up an egg with salad tongs.
It wobbled slightly.
WOBBLE.
“YIIIKES!” screamed Jiggles—and he dove into the laundry basket.
“I’m sorry!” he said. “They’re just so round. And... they move! What if they bounce and bonk my nose?!”
The chicks huddled up.
Finally, little Chirpy Chick had an idea.
“Let’s play with the eggs! You’ll see—they’re silly, not scary!”
So they started with an Egg Roll Race—but instead of racing, they drew silly faces on the eggs and made them roll into each other.
Bonk!
Wobble!
Spin!
Jiggles giggled.
Then they played Egg Peek-a-Boo, hiding plastic eggs around the yard.
Jiggles hopped to find them. “Not so bad,” he said.
Then they painted the eggs to look like happy clouds and funny faces.
“They’re just little ovals in disguise!” he said.
Finally, Jiggles picked up a real wobbly egg with his bare paws.
It rolled.
It wobbled.
It twirled.
And Jiggles smiled.
“You’re not scary. You’re silly!”
That Easter, he hopped with confidence and delivered every egg with a wiggle and a laugh.
The End.

🎵 Song: “Don’t Be Afraid of Eggs!”
(Tune: “London Bridge is Falling Down”)
Eggs can wobble, roll, and spin,
Roll and spin, roll and spin,
Eggs can wobble, roll, and spin,
But they won’t bonk you!
They’re just funny, round and bright,
Round and bright, round and bright,
They’re just funny, round and bright,
You can laugh with them!
