I customized this FREE black and white "Easter Game Board" by adding some paper grasses, make the bunny on the board look like "Peter Rabbit" by drawing a jacket on him, added some dots and stripes on some eggs to give them more of an Easter feel and colored the whole thing using crayons. I added extra embellishments such as paper flowers, some butterflies and colorful tiny dots. Click Here To Check Out FREE Printable Butterflies I used in variety of sizes and looks, you can choose any butterfly you want and just print it into any color of construction paper you like.

I use "butterflies set 4", to fit this board game I scaled the size of my butterflies to number 30 in the printing settings and just color the circles and the sides of the butterfly's top wings using coloring markers. Click Here To Check Out The FREE Printable Flower Shapes Templates I used in various shapes and sizes, I added some extra eyes and mouth on my flowers to make them look more fun. 


CREATE YOUR OWN PETER RABBIT AND FRIENDS BOARD GAME MARKER + EASY DIY EASTER DICE & LINKS TO MORE FREE PRINTABLES!

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.
