Easter Sunday: Peek-a-Boo Bunny

Did You Know? Did you know that the world’s largest chocolate egg weighed in at over 7200kg? That’s about the same size as a full grown African elephant! For the average American, it would take over 1600 years to eat that much chocolate! When to Celebrate The official day for Easter is determined to be the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox, which falls every year on March 21st. This was decided to be the method of deriving the date by the Council of Nicaea in the year 325. To make it more confusing, while all churches use the same formula, some churches follow the Gregorian calendar, while others follow the Julian calendar, which means that there are actually two different dates for Easter! Most people follow the Gregorian calendar, which means that the date typically falls sometime during the last week of March and the first week of April.

The middle straw should be upside down—it will act as the body, while the two outer straws will hold the hands. 3. Trim the ends of the left and right straws to fit perfectly for the hands. Phase 3: Paper Cup Setup 4. Prepare a paper cup and punch 3 holes: Left and right for the hands Bottom center for the middle straw to pull out  5. Insert the straws through the holes so the hands are on the sides and the body is in the middle. Phase 4: Attach the Bunny 6. Stick the rabbit head on top of the middle straw. 7. Adjust the straw length if needed—trim if it’s too long. Phase 5: Reveal the Eggs 8. Pull down the bottom straw to make the bunny’s hands reveal the eggs for a perfect Peek-a-Boo moment!
