Little Bunny Foo Foo went hoping through the forest,
Picking up the field mice and bopping them on the head...
I'm fairly certain that song isn't sung in grade schools anymore. There's probably a "Preservation of Rodents Society" that would be all over them if they did. Anyway, as I was making the little Easter Bunnies for my grandbabies, that song kept running through my mind. As a result I'm calling this bunny pattern "Little Bunny Boo Boo." It's a play on words. The "Boo Boo" refers to the fact that this pattern can be made into a rice-filled cooling or heating pad to soothe a child's skinned knee or tummy ache -- just like my Chick-sicles and Love Birds.
I mentioned yesterday that there are multiple purposes for this bunny. Another application is it could be used as a "tooth pillow." Before the child goes to bed her "lost" tooth is placed in the front pocket of the bunny for safe keeping. During the night the tooth fairy pays a visit and exchanges the tooth for some cold hard cash. I think the rather significant looking choppers on this bunny lends itself to being a used in that way too.
The last purpose is to use the pattern as an Easter gift. Later it could be used for one of the other purposes, but for Easter you could hide treasures in the little pocket, like jelly beans or {hmmm, let's say} a vegetable...
The pattern and instruction for "Little Bunny Boo Boo" can now be found in my Etsy shop and can be purchased for the reasonable price of $7.
