Easter Bunny
Draw around a child on butcher or white bulletin board paper. Draw in ears and bunny paws and feet. just don't draw too thin. Cut out and decorate. Let child decorate with rickrack, buttons, etc. They do like to paint them, but they don't have to. Add wiggle eyes and pipe cleaner whiskers..Sometimes I double the paper and stuff and staple the bunny. Great on the front door!!

Juice Can Rabbits

frozen juice cans (glue white paper around)
construction paper ears (white outer & pink inner), nose (pink), eyes (or use googly eyes), and feet (white)
cotton balls (for tails)
black construction paper strips for whiskers

Easter goodies

Procedure: Children assemble rabbits by gluing rabbit parts onto juice can. Put some tissue paper or Easter grass and goodies into cans for children's Easter treats.

Cotton Ball Rabbit
Draw and cut out a rabbit shape from cardboard. Cover the ears with pieces of pink felt. Outline them with glue and cotton balls. Spread glue over the rest of the rabbit, and completely cover it with cotton balls. From felt, cut out and glue on eyes, a nose and a bow tie. Glue buttons onto the body. Glue on black yarn for the mouth. Attach a short string to the top of the rabbit for a hanger.

Fuzzy Wuzzy Pins
To make these pins, start with a large cotton ball and glue on two wiggle-eyes. (these can be bought at craft stores for pennies) Basic fuzzy-wuzzies can be turned into different creatures by adding paper ears, yarn, whiskers, and whatever else you would like to add. Use safety pins to attach the fuzzy-wuzzy to your shirt.

Bunny Spoon Puppet
Using a white plastic spoon. Draw two buck teeth on the back of the spoon on the bottom section. I use a sharpie permanent marker. Above the teeth hot glue on two 1/4 inch white pom poms for the cheeks. Now above the 2 pom poms I glue on a 5mm pink or white pom pom. This will become the nose. These 5mm pom poms are tiny. I can never find them in pink so I just use white & then I touch them with a pink marker after they have been glued on. The marker will turn them pink. Now glue on 2 wiggle eyes above the nose. Now using fun foam in the color of white cut out two ears. Then color the middle area of the ear with pink marker. Let dry. Now hot glue these two ears to the top inside or back of the spoon. Now I put a dot of hot glue to the upper handle of the spoon & press a lollipop into the glue. The top of the lollipop will rest in the dip or back of the spoon & the handle or stick of the lollipop will run down the handle of the spoon. Only apply a dot of glue or your kids won't be able to pull of the lollipop.After the kids take off the lollipop they can use these as puppets. These are really cute.

Circle Bunny
Trace circles on white or pink paper. Cut them out. Cut ears from the sides of one circle leaving an hour glass shape in the center - use that as a bow tie - Draw a bunny face on the other circle. Glue ears and bow on rabbit face. Color - place on large sheet of construction paper.
