Peter Cottontail Song and Craft

This is little L’s first appearance on our blog at one month old!

​She wiggled and kicked as we painted her feet. She was content during the entire activity. 

More spring activities with baby girl are coming soon!

Materials: 

• paper
• paint
• paintbrush
• cotton ball

Begin the activity by finding a comfortable spot to sing with the child. Sing:

“Here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hoppin' down the bunny trail,
Hippity, hoppity,
Easter's on its way.
Bringin' every girl and boy Baskets full of Easter joy,
Things to make your Easter bright and gay.
He's got jelly beans for Tommy,
Colored eggs for sister Sue,
There's an orchid for your Mommy
And an Easter bonnet, too.
Oh! here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hoppin' down the bunny trail,
Hippity hoppity,
Happy Easter day.”

When finished, you can begin the memory craft. Paint the child’s foot and stamp onto paper. Clean the child’s foot. Add bunny ears, eggs, and grass with paint to the picture. Add a small cotton ball for a tail.
