There were baskets, colours, eggs, decorations, satin ribbons, toys, lollies, glitter glues, streamers, and paper strings. On another small table, she set freshly baked chocolate biscuits and lemonade. She was eagerly waiting for her friends to show up.
Betty rabbit and Babita cat were the first to arrive, carrying a sack full of face-painting kits and bunny-ear headbands. "How many animals are you inviting?" they asked.
Henrietta clucked, "Roughly 20, and here is the hunt map I made for the hiding spots around the farm!"
Soon Kobo zebra, Minty squirrel, Gappy fox, Hatty horse, Gigi giraffe and Tania pig arrived. The craft table was full of chatter and creativity!
Henrietta clucked happily as she baked fresh muffins for everyone while Minty and Gappy started fighting over the yellow glitter glue. Babita handed them a new pack of glitter glues, "Here, use this. I wonder if you two just came for the biscuits!"
At that point, Bobo bear and Monty monkey arrived. "Why are those two here?" Kobo asked. "They are good for nothing," said Tania.
However, Henrietta was thrilled to see them. "They will set up a jumping castle for us!" she clucked.
Even Dolly donkey and Coco kangaroo came with boxes of bunny-shaped chocolates to give away.
