Difficulty: Easy
Average User Rating:
A simple, cute Easter bunny craft for young kids, it could also be a great Easter table decoration.
What you'll need:
- 2 Paper cone cups
- Glue
- Scissors
- Crayons, markers, or paints
- Printout of the rabbit's face and ears from Aunt Annie's Crafts software demo
- Easter grass
- Purple and pink strips of paper
How to make it:
- I went to the dollar store and bought a box of the paper cone cups used with water coolers. I printed out the bunny finger puppet face from Aunt Annie's Crafts software demo (I didn't need the legs).
- Take one cone cup and cut the end off. Fold it in half and fold it again in half. It should have 4 sections, upside down, this allows it to stand on the wide end.
- Draw the body of the bunny on here while it is flat. On one of the four sections put a simple drawing of coveralls with 6 small circles which are the toes (3 circles for each foot) at the very bottom. The children color that.
- On the other cone cup paste the bunny face and ears.
- To glue one cup to the other, cut slits at the top of the first cone -- on the cut end. This is where you will glue inside the second cup. The second cup's pointed end is inserted into the cut end of the first cup.
- To add a handle... cut 2 long strips of pink and purple paper. Put them together to form a square at the end, now fold it back and forth alternating colors and glues the ends so it didn't unravel.
- Glue it to the top cone with the bunny face and add arms which is just a "U" shaped end cut out of a strip of paper.
- You can put another cup inside for stability and glue it. (optional)
- Now you can fill the cone cup with some Easter grass, jelly beans, eggs, and even a small card if you want to give it as a gift.
