Funny Bunny: Easter Morning Surprises

Contact paper or solid wall decals make a path of footprints for kids to discover in the morning. We used WallPops Blox in Flirt Pink ($15 for five sheets).

You'll be astonished when you pull out your ingredients for Easter breakfast: That trickster bunny got into the food coloring and left pastel-dyed raw eggs alongside purple-tinted milk! (Psst: It only takes a couple drops if you want to replicate the gag.)

Your furry friend altered your family photos! To get the lapin look, resize and cut-out our downloadable add-ons, then attach with double-stick tape.

Looks like the Easter Bunny took a bite out of these carrots the kids left for him. Arrange for him to also leave chocolate-covered raisins or peanuts in his path -- the kids will laugh because they look like bunny poop!

Small balloons decorated with acrylic paint become inflatable Easter eggs. When your child opens the door to a closet or cabinet full of the balloons, this Easter delight will tumble down on him.

The rabbit baked these cute cookies with his paw imprint. To make your own, slice and bake store-bought cookie dough. When done, press measuring spoons into the warm dough for prints. Whisk light corn syrup with a bit of water, brush into indents, and sprinkle on colored sugar.

A path of jelly beans that leads to your child's Easter basket -- complete with false turns and dead ends -- makes a game of finding her treat. The hunt finishes with a basket with a surprise secret compartment. On top is a Plush Easter Finger Puppet ($12 per dozen), "bunny money" (gold foil-wrapped egg candies), and other treats (Solid Chocolate Russian Eggs, $4 each; Large Foiled Carrot, $5 each).

Try this alternative to the classic basket: Kids will be delighted to discover the Easter Bunny has left them an enormous gold-colored egg. To make your own, transform oversize plastic eggs (3-Piece Jumbo Nested Eggs, $20; Michaels stores) with a coat of gold spray paint and fill with holiday treats.
