There are lots of gorgeous little Jellycat Easter bunnies who have hopped their way into various windows in and around Henfield High Street - can you help us find them all before they get up to all sorts of Easter mischief?
All you have to do is find the name of each Henfield Bunny and write it down in the correct space of the Easter Bunny Trail entry form, printed overleaf. Parents, grandparents or carers can help younger children with this activity.
The winner will be the first correct entry drawn out of a hat after this date and will receive a gorgeous giant Jellycat bunny as a prize! There will also be some ‘runner up’ prizes of some of the display bunnies.
Thanks to all the High Street businesses for their Easter Bunny displays and for participating.
The story of the Easter bunny
Rabbits usually give birth to a big litter of babies (called kittens), so they have become a symbol of new life. Legend has it that the Easter Bunny lays, decorates and hides eggs, as they are also a symbol of new life. This is why some children might enjoy Easter egg hunts as part of the festival and why the Easter bunny is responsible for delivering chocolate eggs and sweets.
In other countries, the Easter traditions are different: in Switzerland Easter eggs are delivered by a cuckoo, in Germany they’re delivered by a fox or a rooster and in Australia they’re delivered by a bilby (an endangered native animal). In France Easter eggs are not delivered by an animal but by church bells instead!
