Easter Bunny visitation from Parties for Peanuts is an interactive visit by a costumed Easter Bunny character to your home, backyard, church, school, or event venue.
This is not a standard Easter Bunny photo opportunity where kids wait in line for the quickie picture. It is a completely interactive experience involving the Bunny through the course of the visit and including the kids in a wide variety of entertaining activities.
The visit includes a structure based on the age range of the children but is also flexible, accommodating whatever your backyard or home presents. Whether the Easter egg hunt takes place in the spacious backyard lawn or inside an apartment, the Easter Bunny visits guide the children through it.
The highlight of the visit, the Easter Bunny leads the kids around your backyard or inside, pointing out Easter eggs and helping fill their baskets.
For younger children, ages 2 to 4, the Bunny uses a guiding approach and shows kids exactly where the eggs are to pick them up. For the slightly older kids ages 5 and up, the hunt can be more independent, with the Bunny offering clues and cheers along the way.
It works in any space, with hosts placing the Easter eggs in advance before the Bunny comes to discover them.
The Easter Bunny arrives singing the classic “Here Comes Peter Cottontail,” which immediately puts kids in the mood for Easter excitement.
The Easter Bunny continues with songs that involve children through the visit. Songs included are:
Unlike background music, the Bunny leads these songs live and interactively so that every child feels involved.
The Easter Bunny creates balloon animals and the kids watch with wonder as simple balloon turns into dogs, swords, flowers, and more.
Every child gets their own balloon creation and takes it home from the visit as a souvenir of the occasion.
The face painting and temporary tattoo application add an additional fun layer to the visit.
Popular face painting designs include bunnies, chicks, flowers, and other spring designs. Temporary tattoos are a quick and easy alternative for kids who are uncomfortable with face painting or who are running out of visit time.
The Bunny passes out lollipops to the children as part of the visit – the simple yet appreciated treat.
Every Easter Bunny visit includes an opportunity for individual and group photos with the Bunny.
Parents provide cameras or phones for photos. If you want a specific photo backdrop, setting one up in advance will make the pictures even more festive.
Easter is the most family-oriented holiday of the year, and parents in NJ seek special ways to celebrate Easter beyond simple backyard egg hunts for their kids.
There are three reasons an Easter Bunny visit is particularly valuable right now:
“Kids who go on egg hunt with the Easter Bunny leading them remember it weeks later. It is not just about the eggs, it is about the whole experience of having the Bunny there with them.” – Common feedback from NJ parents who hire Easter Bunny from Parties for Peanuts
1. Fully Interactive Experience, Not Just a Photo Opportunity
Easter Bunny visit is not just another costumed character who comes to smile and pose for a few photos. The Bunny entertains kids actively, taking part in the egg hunt, playing with the children, singing songs and doing various games.
2. Works Well with Kids of Any Age
The visit can entertain children of various ages: toddlers enjoy songs and balloon animals; kids ages 4 to 8 have fun with egg hunts and games; even older siblings tend to join Chicken Dance and Hokey Pokey once in a while.
3. No Mall Lines, No Strangers, No Stress
Easter Bunny visitation to your own backyard removes all the hassles of a mall photo event, providing a peaceful and comfortable setting, especially for nervous or young children.

Face painting, balloon animals, tattoo applications, lollipops, and photos add additional layers to the Easter Bunny visit, making it not just one activity but a complete experience packed with many memorable moments.

Parties for Peanuts is a fully insured company which makes them a safe choice for church or school Easter events and HOA spring celebrations that require vendor liability documentation.
How to Plan an Easter Bunny Visit: Step-by-Step Guide
Choose a venue and decide on a space for the visit. The Easter egg hunt works well outside in your backyard, but it can take place anywhere inside a house, apartment or community center. Just think about how you will hide the eggs and where children will be able to search for them.
Place the Easter eggs in advance. Easter Bunny will lead the egg hunt, but you will be hiding them in advance. Make sure you prepare the right amount and hiding places for the smallest children.
Create a photo spot for the visit. You do not have to organize a complicated professional photo session, but it will be great if you would set up a spot in your backyard or indoors with Easter or floral background.
Provide Parties for Peanuts with a guest list and age range. This information will help to tailor the songs, games and balloon animal choices for the children you are hosting.
Call Howell at (973) 478-8999 to make your booking. Easter and pre-Easter weekends fill up fast every year, especially in March and early April. Book as soon as you can.
Find out about arrival and setup time. Arrange for the Easter Bunny to arrive a bit in advance so he will be ready for the visit when guests see him first.
Tell attending parents in advance about the visit. Let them know that face painting, balloon animals and temporary tattoos are included in the visit so that they can talk to the kids beforehand if needed.
Book early. Easter and pre-Easter weekends fill up fast, so booking 4 to 8 weeks in advance is highly recommended.
Match egg hunt difficulty to the age of children. Very young children (2-3 year old) will need easily visible hiding places; older children (6+ years) will enjoy more difficult egg hunting.
Prepare children who may be shy. Very young children and those who are nervous with costumed characters can have a few minutes to warm up.
Adjust the visit length to the number of guests. The bigger parties may include more balloon animals and face painting. One-hour visit is recommended for 10 or more children.
Prepare the designated Easter basket place. Having all the baskets ready before the visit will help to organize the egg hunt.
Pair the visit with additional entertainment for a complete Easter party. A bounce house, crafting table or food station added to Easter Bunny visitation creates a complete event that children and parents will equally enjoy.
Booking the Bunny too close to Easter. Popular Easter dates are fully booked at least 2 weeks before the holiday, plan accordingly.
Most families have participated in regular Easter egg hunt in their backyard at least once. Kids run around, pick up eggs, fill baskets – the activity lasts for 10 minutes. It is fun, but it is short-lived, and once the eggs are picked, the excitement fades.
What makes Parties for Peanuts Easter Bunny visitation different is the fact that Bunny actively participates in the hunt himself, walking with the kids, showing them the places with eggs and creating a story behind the hunt.
This transforms a 10-minute activity into a 20 to 30-minute event that young children participate in from the beginning to the end. The Bunny adds the level of storytelling and magic to the egg hunt that children cannot create themselves.
“The egg hunt is always the highlight of the visit, but the moment kids realize that the Easter Bunny is actually going to walk with them – not just standing around – is the moment when the real excitement kicks in.” – Observation of the Easter Bunny experience by Parties for Peanuts
Also NJ party planners point out that combining physical activity (the egg hunt), social activity (the songs and games) and creative activity (balloon animals and face painting) in one hour-long visit covers all the engagement types for young children and therefore the energy does not fade quickly.
Easter is one of the top five holidays celebrated in the United States, and families all over the country are planning egg hunts, brunches and spring parties every spring.
Request for in-home and private character visits for Easter has increased steadily in recent years as families sought alternatives to crowded mall Easter Bunny photo opportunities.
Bookings for spring party entertainment in NJ peak in the 4 to 6 weeks prior to Easter.
The visits by characters that include not just photos but interactive activities prove to generate greater satisfaction among parents than the visits that include just photo opportunities.
Community and church Easter events in NJ increasingly hire character entertainment vendors as a family-friendly element of their springtime events.
