Description

A bunny for the shelf

This belongs to the seasonal range and is meant for the Easter period. Rather than a scene with people in it, you build one model: a rabbit holding a basket, ready to sit on a shelf or the breakfast table. With 96 pieces the build is short and manageable, which makes it a good choice for a quick weekend project, especially if you want something to put together with a child. The rabbit is deliberately simple and round, so even younger children can recognise the shape quickly and help with the building.

Yellow and white on grey

The palette is cheerful without being loud. Light bluish grey and dark bluish grey form the base, with white and yellow added as accents. The yellow gives the bunny its festive feel and stands out against the calmer greys. None of the colours are especially rare, so the bricks blend in easily with other sets once the rabbit has been taken apart. Next to other spring motifs or plants from your own collection the yellow fits in well and goes nicely with eggs, flowers or chicks.

35 part types across 96 pieces

Of those 96 pieces, 35 are different parts, so many elements appear several times. That fits a symmetrical figure with two ears, paws and a round body, and it means you repeat steps without getting bored. The full parts list on this page makes it easy to check that nothing is missing, which is useful if you bought the set second-hand. If you later look for individual pieces, such as the ears or the basket handle, the list helps you find the right brick straight away.

Seasonal set, second life

Small seasonal sets are popular because they are only on shop shelves for a short time. When Easter is over and the bunny comes apart, the bricks do not have to sit unused. The “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria shows which other models you can make from these pieces combined with your own collection, turning a decoration into a year-round building stock. You can then keep the bricks until Easter comes around again, or use them immediately for completely different figures and animals.
