The Easter Chick Who Roasted S’mores for Every Bunny!

A Sweet Easter Story with Crafts, Games, and Gooey Goodness

Starring your lovable chick friend… Waffles!

Story: "The Chick Who Roasted S’mores for Every Bunny!"

Waffles was a tiny yellow chick with a big heart and an even bigger idea.

While all the other animals were busy hiding eggs and filling baskets with candy, Waffles had something else in mind...

“I want to do something really special for Easter,” he said.
“Something warm… sweet… and super gooey!”

Waffles looked around the farm and spotted a bag of marshmallows.
“S’MORES! That’s it! I’ll make s’mores for every bunny I know!”

So he gathered:

Marshmallows
Chocolate
Graham crackers
A tiny stick

Waffles waddled to the campfire pit, stuck a marshmallow on his stick, and tried to roast it...
It plopped into the dirt.
Then he burned one.
Then one caught on fire and zoomed through the air like a marshmallow rocket!

“Oops,” he chirped, laughing.

Finally, Waffles roasted the perfect golden puff.
He stacked it with chocolate and graham crackers and made the most delicious s’more ever.

Then he made ten more!

He packed them into tiny paper baskets, tied them with string, and placed them on porches, windowsills, and doorsteps.

When the bunnies and animals found them, they were delighted.

“Who made these?” they asked.
“Best Easter surprise ever!” said one.
Waffles blushed and peeped from behind a flowerpot, holding one last s’more just for himself.

The End.
