This board game printable also comes with a bunny marker template. You can make 4 markers out of it. I made 3 bunnies as markers, I draw and add extra details on these rabbits to make them look like "Peter Rabbit" and his friends "Lily Bobtail" and "Benjamin Bunny". I colored the base with green crayon and glue the bunnies on it using hot melt glue that way the bunnies are more secure and won't detach so easily out of its base.
