Supplies for your Paper Plate Easter Bunny
- Paper plates
- Scissors (remember to do the cutting if your child isn’t ready to yet.)
- Cotton balls– I love the jumbo size!
- Construction paper scraps or paint
- School glue
- Markers or crayons
Make Your Rabbit Craft
- To make the ears, cut out an ear shape and glue to the back of your plate. Use pink cardstock to make the inner ear, or simply color it in.
- If you’re making the pom pom version, start by glueing on your cotton balls. This is a great way for kids to practice putting glue on a plate and lining up cotton balls.
- Alternatively, you could use scraps of paper or just one pom to glue on as the nose. If you’re making a version where you color on the face, you can flip the plate over to make coloring a bit easier.
- Cut your whiskers and glue onto the paper plate. Glue on googley eyes and any other details you want to include. If you’re using cotton balls you’ll want to make the smile out of cardstock too. This is a great scissors skills activity!
- Alternatively, if you’re coloring, add the eyes and mouth with marker or crayon.
- Allow any glued pieces to dry and your paper plate Easter bunny is complete!
