My babes are getting buckets this year for easter.

I found the galvanized buckets at ikea for $1.99 each and then added a sticker to each to identify whose is whose {or is it who’s is whose? Oh, why is the english language so complicated}.

My mom was always so great about making holidays special … and I’m trying to follow in her footsteps. This is my attempt to put together a fun easter bucket for my kiddos.

A girlie version of the bunny, an easter board book, booklet {for all the drawing a one year old does}, some embellished mary janes and a peep.

Suede flowers stitched to Old Navy shoes.

My baby is lucking out this year and getting her own bunny peep.

The bunnies were made using this pattern and were very simple to make.

After making the first one, I altered the pattern a bit. I made the head a bit rounder and elongated the legs. I also embroidered the face before stitching the bunny together {since I couldn’t figure out how to hide the knots once the little guy was sewn shut}.

While I totally get that Easter is not all about bunnies and jelly beans and peeps, I always enjoy giving my kiddos little gifts … they are pretty sweet!
