Of course, this book lends itself so well to all sorts of fun Easter traditions and the celebration of the end of winter. With the COVID-19 Social Distancing order, I have kept things simple.

- Learn how to dance the Bunny Hop for some great giggles!
- Make these adorable sock bunnies, that I found on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giqTWcq6nFk
