What do you do for the Easter Bunny?

Just looking for idea and opinions about Easter. My DD is 6 and pretty switched on so to me it seems a bit unbelievable that a giant bunny will leave chocolate eggs around the garden? Especially as it's the same chocolate eggs that the supermarkets have been filled with for weeks 😂

I don't grudge getting stuff from the Easter bunny or hiding it around the place but I wondered if doing things like that at her age would start to cast doubt over Santa etc??!

I've done the Easter bunny stuff every other year and more than happy to do it but part of me thinks if she finds out that's not real she'll put 2 & 2 together about Santa. I'd rather sacrifice the Easter bunny stuff for a few more years of believing in Santa!!

Any other ideas or traditions I could do instead?

Never had the Easter Bunny at home as we received out gifts from family. I think it's what you're brought up with yourself. We were very much into Father Christmas and the tooth fairy though as was out ds but we didn't do Easter Bunny with him. I imagine a slightly scary 6 foot rabbit for some reason when I think of the Easter bunny! Some of the things people are planning on this thread like @Datestamp are so cute though. We used to do ds an egg hunt, he loved it. He's 15 now and last year didn't really want one so we've stopped. He still loves hiseggs though!

My 16 yr old was aghast when I said he was too old for an Easter egg hunt 😂

So we're doing one....
