Let\u2019s find out what rabbits eat! Rabbits usually eat fruit and vegetable. Have your child help you to prepare a rabbit snack and eat it. What did you like? How does it taste?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a chart divided into two columns labeled fruit and vegetables. Ask your child to tell you which vegetables and fruit a rabbit might eat and write them down. If your child has a journal, write the fruit and vegetable names and date the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is an adorable book by Margaret Wise Brown, The Runaway Bunny<\/span>. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kj3c99efFsA<\/a> After listening to the story, ask your child to look at the book’s color illustrations With you and invite your child to act out the actions of one or both bunnies (for example, flapping their arms when little bunny pretends to fly like a bird). Then view together the book again, pausing at each color illustration To allow your child to add his\/her actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
