Fun Bunnies with Expressive Faces

These colorful bunnies with different facial expressions are perfect for letting kids' imagination run wild. Each bunny can have its own personality!

Step by step:

1. Cut out a bunny silhouette from cardboard in your favorite color. You can make several bunnies in different colors!
2. Make the ears by cutting two long, pointed shapes from the same cardboard to match.
3. Cut a circle and an oval from adhesive fabric (matching or contrasting color) and stick them on the bunny’s body to create the belly.
4. Stick on the moving eyes to bring your bunny to life.
5. Draw the face with a marker: nose, mouth, eyebrows, and whiskers. This is where you can give each bunny a unique emotion: happy, surprised, winking, and more!

Candy Holder Bunny

This craft is perfect for hiding sweets or small gifts inside! Follow these simple steps to make a bunny that holds a surprise:

Step by step:

1. Fold a piece of white cardboard in half, so when you cut, the bunny has two sides that stay connected and can hold the candy inside.
2. Draw a bunny shape on the folded cardboard. Leave the bottom uncut so both sides remain attached.
3. Cut out the bunny carefully, following the lines and keeping the bottom intact.
4. Cut a circular window in the center of the bunny's body, big enough to show the candy you’ll place inside.
5. Draw the bunny’s face with markers: eyes, nose, mouth… You can give it any expression you like!
6. Decorate with a ribbon, tied around one ear or the neck.
7. Place a candy inside the hole and secure it with a small piece of tape if needed.

Bunny Candy Cones

These bunny-shaped cones are super easy to make and perfect for filling with candies or chocolates. You can even hang them on a string to create a cute Easter garland!

Step by step:

1. Make the cone: Cut out a large quarter-circle from cardboard and roll it into a cone shape. Glue the edges to secure.
2. Cut out two bunny ears using the same cardboard color as the cone.
3. Decorate the ears and belly by cutting smaller pieces (for the inner ears) and a circle for the belly from polka-dot adhesive fabric. Stick them in place.
4. Glue on moving eyes near the top of the cone.
5. Draw the bunny’s face with a marker: add the nose, mouth, and whiskers.
6. Fill the cone with candies or chocolates, or hang it on a string for a fun Easter garland.

There’s no better way to celebrate Easter than crafting with little ones! Crafting helps stimulate creativity and fine motor skills, encourages teamwork, and creates beautiful memories with family and friends.
