Students choose the size of the chocolate bunny, the color of the marshmallow bunny, the quantity of carrots and jelly beans, the design of the Easter egg, the size of the chick stuffed animal, and the color of the bow and flower. Each part is attached to the inside of the Easter Basket page (or "put-in" with the additional front of basket template) for students to build their own unique Easter Basket.

“My basket has [more] jelly beans.”

“My basket has [2] carrots.”
