Easter Bunny preparing for annual egg hunts But what does he do the rest of the year?
W
e all know that the Easter Bunny is gearing up for one of the busiest days of his year, preparing to scatter eggs in fields, parks and yards across southwest Missouri and the nation. But other than that one day of frantic activity, we wonder what he does the rest of the year? We went to Pierce City Elementary School to ask some third-grade experts their thoughts. “I think the Easter Bunny works in a factory shaped like a bunny that is made of chocolate with egg-shaped lights with glitter mixed in the paint. To get to the factory is 70 feet into the ground, so if you see a path of gold eggs, follow it and you will see a chocolate fountain and bunnies driving truckloads of Peeps, all packed up for Easter. The Easter Bunny is helping his workers with dyeing eggs for Easter. Then when you go home, follow the road of Peeps.” — Anna “I think the Easter Bunny helps people in stores and works in disguise as a human. He probably does not put away carrots because he would try to steal the carrots.” — Cohen

“I think the Easter Bunny is magic. Why I think that is because you cannot hear him while he is giving you your candy. Another reason why I think that is you can’t catch him while he is giving you your candy.” — Elivia “I think the Easter Bunny lives in Santa’s Workshop. I think that because the Easter Bunny could memorize the way. Also, he could see what chocolate the kids like. Then Santa’s elves could help make the chocolate eggs. Lastly, it wouldn’t take long to leave the Easter eggs with Santa’s sleigh. I think the Easter Bunny works at Santa’s Workshop.” — Lucy
The Easter Bunny comes well prepared for the annual Monett Easter Egg Hunt, scattering up to 8,000 eggs each year at Monett’s South Park for youngsters to find.
“I think the Easter Bunny hides in a hole in the ground. Each night he delivers packages around the world. Once he delivered 500,000 packages, he almost ran out of breath. He’s lucky he had a water bottle. He is also an artist. I saw 30 of his pictures once. Lastly, after all that, he makes chocolate eggs.” — Dreven “I think the Easter Bunny works in a factory to make Peeps, chocolate and jelly beans.” — Lakota
