Easter Bunny Race Cars

  Can you believe Easter is this weekend? As a mom of a busy two year old boy, I’m always on the lookout for fun and simple ways to celebrate the holidays in an interactive way. I stumbled upon these bunny race cars  and just knew they would be a BIG hit with my car loving little guy!
I whipped these up during nap time and Hudson was SO excited when he saw them! If you have older children these would be really easy for them to help you make. 
Here’s what you’ll need: Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs, Easter M&Ms, bunny crackers, and a few chocolate chips (to use as your “glue”).
First, take a sharp knife and carefully carve out a little seat for the bunny. It’s really easy to crack the chocolate eggs (as you can see above), so take your time….even then, I cracked all of them. Some worse than others. Luckily, Hudson didn’t seem to notice or mind. 
Then, stick your bunny in his seat! Next, melt a few chocolate chips to use as your glue and glue on M&Ms for the tires, steering wheel, and headlights…and you’re done!
Hudson is still talking about the “bunny cars” and keeps asking for them…oops?  He had so much fun playing with them and eating them! 
Hudson mostly just picked off the M&Ms and ate them…and then took one bite of the peanut butter egg and declared it “yucky”. Crazy boy….but that means more for mommy (and daddy too)!

Happy Easter week!

    Oh my word! These are quite possibly the cutest little things I ever did see. 🙂 How fun are you?! I want to try and make these, because 1) Charlotte loves chocolate and 2) because it looks like I could eat them up as well. Genius!
