Essential Workers

You'll be pleased to know that we do consider both the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny to be essential workers.  As you can imagine, at this time, of course, they are going to be particularly quite busy at home with their family as well and their own bunnies.  I say to the children of New Zealand, if the Easter bunny doesn't make it to your household, then we have to understand that it's a bit difficult at the moment for the Bunny to get everywhere.

But, I have a bit of an idea.  Maybe in lieu of the Bunny being able to make it to your home, you can create your own Easter hunt for the children in your neighborhood.  Maybe draw an Easter egg and pop it into your front window and help children in your neighborhood with their own Easter egg hunt, because the Easter Bunny may not get everywhere this year.
