Photos with the Easter Bunny are a rite of passage for many families — a seasonal tradition right up there with decorating eggs and hunting for jellybeans. That oversized bunny suit, pastel backdrop, and basket of faux grass make the perfect setting for a memory you’ll cherish forever. Unless, of course, your child takes one look at the big-eared guest of honor… and bolts.
Yes, we’re talking about bunny phobia. It’s more common than you might think. To adults, the Easter Bunny is a harmless, even charming, character. But to toddlers and young kids, a six-foot tall rabbit with giant eyes and no voice can feel more like a villain in a fairytale than a friendly holiday mascot.
Cue the tears. The clinging. The desperate attempts to flee the scene.
And honestly? That’s part of the charm. Years from now, those “screaming kid meets bunny” photos often become family favorites — funny, relatable, and totally authentic.
At the end of the day, Easter is about joy, not perfect pictures. Whether your photo features smiles, screams, or a blurry streak of toddler trying to escape — it’s a memory.
