4. Write “Happy Easter” inside the card or another special Easter message.

Easter Bunny

1. Fold white cardstock over and put the left hand against the folded part (so the folded part is on the left). Put your middle finger and index finger up like a piece sign. Trace around those fingers making it a bit more bubbly so it will look like bunny ears, then trace around the side of the hand making a circle for the face.

2. Cut it out so that the bunny face is round like a circle. Leave a bit on the left side for the folded part so the card will open up.

3. Add two small pink cardstock inserts for the ears. Then glue on the googly eyes and pom pom nose.

4. Draw the whiskers and mouth on with a black sharpie.

Sheep 

1. Fold a piece of black cardstock over. Trace the hand so that the wrist is at the folded part.

2. Draw a sheep head and cut it out and glue it to the thumb. Make the head rounded with two ears coming down to the sides.

3. Glue on googly eyes to the head.

4. Add cotton balls to the sheep body.

4. Bunny Handprint Card

You will need:

– Small white pom poms

– Pink pipe cleaner

– Pink pom pom

– Googly Eyes

– Pink paint

– Craft glue 

Instructions:

1. First fold your cardstock over to trace the hand.

2. Spread your pinky and ring finger together and your middle and index finger together to form the two “ears” of the bunny. Then cut it out so you have a card like this:

3. Paint the inside of the ears pink and let it dry.

4. Start adding your pom poms by gluing to your card. Fill the space as much as possible. When you are done there will still be some gaps. You can continue to add extra pom poms into those gaps to really fill the whole bunny.

5.  Cut two pieces of pipe cleaner and twist them together to form the whiskers. Then glue to your card. Glue your pink pom pom on top.

6. Glue your googly eyes on.

Your Easter Bunny is done! 

5. Paper Plate Easter Bunny Craft

You will need:

-Construction Paper

-Pom Poms 

-Pipe Cleaners

-Googly Eyes

–Small Paper Plates

-Glue

Instructions:

For the nose: 

1. Take 3 pipe cleaners and twist them around each other in the center so that they are connected/stuck together. The part you twist is the hidden part that will go under the nose (pom pom) and will be hidden. This will leave you with the whiskers sticking out on both sides.

2. Then glue to the paper plate. Leave time to let dry as this step will require it to be glued well or the pipe cleaners will fall off.

Tip: You can also glue with hot glue (which will stay better) but make sure adults do this part and then let the kids glue the pom pom on once the hot glue has dried and cooled.

3. Once glue is dry from the pipe cleaners, now glue on your nose (pom pom).

For the ears: 

1. Cut out some ears from white construction paper and then cut out a smaller inside ear with a different color. 

For the eyes:

1.  You can use googly eyes and just glued them on or you could also use construction paper and make the eyes yourself.

For the mouth: 

1. You can just draw on the mouth with a black marker.

That’s it! We hope you have fun making this simple and easy Easter Bunny craft for kids!
