How to make an easy Easter bunny craft
By making these cute Easter bunny crafts, your children can:
:: follow a simple set of instructions
:: explore materials including card, paint and cotton wool
:: develop their fine motor skills
:: create a decoration for the Easter festival
:: use the bunnies as a puppets for imagination play to develop their language and story telling skills
Materials needed
:: paper rolls or sheets of card
:: white and brown paint
:: black marker pen or pencil
:: scissors
:: glue or sticky tape
:: cotton wool balls
:: googly eyes (optional)
Use a paper roll tube for the bunny’s body, or roll up a piece of card. Use full sized ones for Mummy and Daddy Bunny and half sizes for the baby bunnies.
Paint the rolls white or brown.
Cut out some tall ears and some paws from card and paint them too.
Once the paint is dry, use glue or sticky tape to fasten the ears and feet in place. (Adding the feet is important if you’re going to fill your rabbit, as they will stop your treats falling out.)
Add a cotton wool ball for a tail.
Give your rabbits cute faces. You can paint them on, draw them, or even use googly eyes.
We folded over the tips of the ears too, to give the bunnies extra character!
