Marshmallow Rabbit

Copyright © 1997 by Evelyn Quinones.
This is a project that the children love to make and love to see. (However a few did eat theirs.) Please see TIP area for an edible rabbit suggestion.

This project is rated VERY EASY to do.

What You Need
 

  • Front and back rabbit patterns
  • Card stock
  • Crayons
  • 1 large marshmallow
  • 1 cotton ball
  • Glue
  • Scissors

 
How To Make It
 
  1. Print out the pattern.
  2. Glue the pattern onto card stock.
  3. Color the rabbit parts and cut out.
  4. Lay the front rabbit pattern face down and apply glue to the back. Set the marshmallow in the glue. Apply more glue to the marshmallow and set the back of the rabbit onto the glue. Apply a little more glue on the back of the rabbit and put on the cotton tail. Let dry.

Tips
 
This is a project that is indeed very appealing to preschoolers. So, instead of using glue, use "royal icing" to glue the body parts to the front and back of the marshmallow and use a mini marshmallow for a tail. This way, if the children can't resist eating their masterpiece, there's no harm done!
