Carey Cloud created the Easter Parade of Easter Chicks and Rabbits for Shotwell of Chicago. The toys were designed to be used as party favors, place cards, table decorations, and Easter Basket toys. By pressing out the chicks and rabbits and assembling them as instructed, one can easily make a stand up toy for everyone to enjoy.

From the Patent Pending printed on the toy, we can date this to 1936 - 1939. Patent 002148290
