We used the following items:

Stuffed Rabbit Toys (we used our child’s Beatrix Potter’s Collection from the story of Peter Rabbit).
1 small decorative embroidered rabbit theme related pillow
1 small wooden basket (we used a white one but any color would do)
6 ceramic decorative colored eggs

Arrange the bistro chairs side by side. Next, arrange stuffed rabbit toys on top of chairs. Fill basket with artificial eggs, we used ceramic one’s for this project. A decorative bow could also be added to the basket handle. For a finishing touch arrange a small decorative theme related pillow on one of the chairs next to the rabbits.
