Unfortunately, the eggs have been stolen!!! Who took the eggs? Was it all a mistake? Where were they found? Idea 2: The Easter bunny falls down into a foxes den and only has a shot amount of time to escape. How does she escape? Does someone help her? Does she managed to deliver and hide the eggs? Idea 3: The Easter bunny has a family and tucks them into bed. He leaves all of the eggs next to the door ready for the next day. Unfortunately, when he wakes up the next day all he sees are empty wrappers. Who ate the eggs? What will he do now? Where can he get more eggs from?
