1. Bella and the Egg Garden
Bella the bunny lived in a quiet, sun-kissed meadow filled with tulips and lavender.
She loved two things more than anything: hopping through flower fields and collecting colorful Easter eggs.
One year, she decided to do something no bunny had ever tried—she planted her collection of painted eggs into the soil.
All the forest animals laughed. “Eggs don’t grow, Bella!” they teased. But Bella believed in magic.
The next morning, the meadow had transformed. Where the eggs were planted, bloomed beautiful egg-shaped flowers—each one opening up to reveal chocolate, toys, and jellybeans!
Families from all around came to see Bella’s garden.
She handed out egg-flowers with pride, watching children giggle with delight.
Her belief in trying something new had created something magical for everyone.
Even the wise old owl, who never smiled, chuckled with joy and complimented Bella’s spirit.
From that year on, the egg garden became a cherished tradition, with bunnies of all ages planting their eggs in hopes of blooming surprises.

2. The Bunny Who Couldn’t Paint
Charlie Bunny had a big problem—he couldn’t paint! Every year, the other bunnies created masterpieces on their Easter eggs, using patterns, sparkles, and fine brushes. Charlie, on the other hand, always made a mess.
He’d either sneeze paint everywhere or sit on the eggs by mistake.
One day, he got a different idea. What if he didn’t try to paint like everyone else?
He dipped his eggs in jelly, wrapped them in glittery foil, and tied ribbons around them.
On Easter morning, the children rushed to pick Charlie’s eggs first. “They’re so fun!” they cried.
From then on, Charlie was known as the Bunny of Fun Eggs, and his creativity was celebrated far and wide.
Even the mayor of Bunnyville invited Charlie to host a decorating class the next year.

Each year in Bunnyville, a magical golden egg was hidden before the big Easter celebration.
It was said that whoever found it would have a year filled with happiness and adventure.
But this year, something odd happened—the golden egg went missing before the hunt even began!
Penny, the tiniest bunny in the village, but also the smartest, put on her detective hat.
With her magnifying glass and a trail of candy sprinkles, she searched high and low.
After a while, she followed the trail to the pond where a group of giggling ducklings floated inside a golden, egg-shaped boat!
Penny gently explained that the egg wasn’t meant for riding but for sharing joy.
The ducklings apologized and helped return it just in time for the event.
The town rewarded Penny with a golden carrot trophy, and she was declared the honorary Bunnyville Detective.

This was his first Easter helping with the egg deliveries, and he had practiced all week by hopping over hurdles and balancing baskets.
On Easter morning, disaster struck—Timmy tripped on a rock and spilled his entire basket!
His painted eggs cracked, and he was heartbroken.
But he remembered what his mother always told him: “You don’t give up because something goes wrong. You fix it and keep going.”
