These aren't for sale at the moment, but will be at the next Bearpaths show, March 28th. Thought you might like to take a peek. The second rabbit is actually a working toy, that hops when pulled.

Thanks for all the lovely comments - they are much appreciated.

Cat, the wheels are new - it's hard to get small wooden wheels this size.

Rita, to make it hop, you offset the wheels on the axle so they are not centred. When you pull him, the offset wheels make the bunny go higher each time they go around, and it appears he is hopping.

hugs,

Brenda

Thank you all so much! I want to make more bunnies for Easter sooo badly, but I've been sick, and now hubby is really sick with bronchial pneumonia AND we are having pine flooring laid this week. OMG, the house is a wreck and I hate chaos!!!!!!
