What do you do with this rabbit?



My children each get one and they give the rabbits each a name, build them a house and take care of the rabbit like a real pet. Good practice before getting them a real pet, eh?


Do you know this song:

There’s a cottage in the wood

A little deer by the window stood

Saw a rabbit hopping by

Frighten as can be

“Help me, help me” the rabbit said

There’s a hunter to shoot me dead

“Come little rabbit come with me, happy as can be.”

Let your little ones hold their napkin rabbits and hop around when you sing that song.


Tell them stories about rabbits such as the story of The Rabbit and The Tortoise and let the children play the role of rabbit by holding their napkin rabbits.

So, if you are short of craft ideas or activities for your children, this may be another choice!
