It is Easter time and you are all excited for the Easter Bunny! But wait! How do you prepare? Well, read on to find out!

Steps

  1. 1
    Get out your Easter Basket. If you do not have one, buy one. If you have siblings, try to get some in your favorite colors so you will not get mixed up. You could also write your names on them.
    • Try decorating them. It is your basket after all, so why not make it festive?
  2. 2
    Put some Easter grass in your basket! Easter grass is that plastic (or sometimes paper) grass that you find at the store around Easter time.
    • Instead of boring green grass, why not try a different color?

  3. 3
    If you plan on getting jelly beans, put a large plastic egg in your basket. That way, the jelly beans will not be tangled in the grass and lost.
  4. 4
    Choose the room you are putting your basket in. Your bedroom? The living room? Perhaps even the bathroom? It is up to you.
  5. 5
    Put it on a ledge, table, or by the fireplace. Make sure it is easily accessible and not easy to trip over!
  6. 6
    Make sure your room is clean and there is a clear path between your door and the basket. You do not want the Easter Bunny to trip over anything.
  7. 7
    Leave a note for the Easter Bunny. Thank him for giving you candy and wish him luck on delivering candy to the rest of the world.
  8. 8
    Do not forget a snack. Leave him some water, carrots, jelly beans, or cookies.
  9. 9
    Go to sleep. It can be really hard when you are so excited, but try.
  10. 10
    Wake up, but not too early. If you get up at 1:00 AM, try your absolute hardest to go to sleep. It is just unhealthy to get up this early.
  11. 11
    Enjoy your day and candy. Do not go overboard on the candy, but enjoy your Easter with family and friends.
  12. 12
    Wait until next year.

    The Easter Bunny probably only ever stops coming to you when you stop believing in him.
  • Question
    Do you need grass in your basket?

    You don't absolutely need it, it's mostly for decoration and for nestling the eggs into. If you have a hard, plastic basket, put some in so that the eggs don't break.

    Community Answer
    Of course you are! If you don't ask for what you want, you definitely won't get it, will you? However, just asking doesn't mean you'll get it. After all, Easter bunny has a lot of goodies to deliver.
  • Question

    Do things that are distracting, like listen to music or play outside. Do not look at the clock all the time. Think about the real reason for Easter and do some reading about that.
  • Question
    How long do I have to sleep until I can wake up to see a basket of goodies?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    It's impossible to know when will the Easter Bunny visit your house. Don't try to wake up and check if there are any Easter baskets yet or he won't come. Just wait and get up at a normal time.
  • Question
    Does the Easter Bunny have a nice and naughty list?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    He doesn't have a list. However, he does know which kids have been naughty.
  • Question
    Does the Easter Bunny give toys?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Generally no, the Bunny is not Santa and he doesn't have a workshop of elves to make toys. He usually brings candy and chocolate. However, he has been known to drop the occasional pack of sidewalk chalk or the odd pack of bubbles. For those kids who cannot eat sweets, he does make special trips with small non-food items.
  • Question
    Do I have to be asleep for the Easter Bunny to come?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Yes. However, as it has been stated, he is magic, so even if you are still awake when he visits he uses his magic to put you to sleep.
