Questions and answers

What do you paint on rocks for Easter?

Eggs, bunnies, chicks, lambs, ducklings, carrots and baskets. Egg-shaped stones take bands, dots and zigzags, such as Three-band egg with rows of dots between; round ones suit Cheeping chick pebble, beak wide open, three head feathers.

How do painted rocks work in an egg hunt?

They are hidden like eggs. Numbered hunt eggs for counting the finds puts a number on each of twelve stones so the finds can be counted, and Egg lettered with a child's name gives each child one to look for.

What stone shape suits a bunny?

An oval or an egg shape. Bunny loaf asleep with ears flat along its back fills an oval, and Lop bunny pebble, ears painted over the left and right edges lets the ears hang down the sides.
