Crochet Bunny Finger Puppets

Hippity, hoppity, Easter's on it's way...
These little bunnies will hop right into your heart...and onto your favorite little ones' fingers!

After I made the first one, the requests for my kids came flying at warp speed. "I want white with a pink tail", "...blue with white", "can mine have green eyes?",  "I want one that's brown, green and tan with white eyes" ...
Wait a minute...
Me: "What???  A brown, green and tan Easter bunny???"
8 year old son: "No, not the Easter bunny.  Sargent Snuggles.  He needs to be in camouflage."
Me: "Ohhhh." {as if that explains everything}
Ok, so in my house, these sweet little bunny creations just might be caught waging war against the army of lego men that have already invaded my son's room.  But, hey, I love it when kids use their imagination!  Welcome to the jungle Sgt. Snuggles.

Perhaps in your house, these little bunnies can hop around nibbling toy carrots and doing other slightly more Easter Bunny-like things...
I'm pleased to introduce you to: Bunny...

Hunny...

Funny...

Sunny...

and Sargent Snuggles!
