How to a Make Bunny Paper Craft For Kids

Step 1 – Cut And Glue

Begin by cutting the strips for the body of the bunny and glue them to the background paper.

Be sure to place and arrange the paper strips toward the bottom of the page, leaving enough room for the long ears.

Step 2 – Prepare Ears and Nose

Cut two longer identical ear pieces in white. Then cut two smaller identical ear pieces in pink to go on top of the white pieces.

Attach the ears to the body of the bunny.

Then cut out a cute little button nose from the pink paper and add it to the bunny.

Step 3 – Attach Googly Eyes

Glue the googly eyes on the bunny.

Step 4 – Draw Mouth

The last step is to draw a mouth with the black marker – and your simple Easter bunny craft is complete! 

Bunny Paper Craft Notes And Expert Tips

• Make a simple template for smaller kids if you feel like that would help them with cutting out their bunny pieces.

• Use appropriate size scissors for the age of the child doing the cutting. Have a couple of pairs of child scissors on hand as well as larger scissors for adults to use.

• Cut out the construction pieces for the rabbit’s body first. That way you can place the strips on the construction paper exactly where you want them before gluing them down. Then repeat the same process with the ears and nose.

Bunny Paper Craft FAQs

Do I have to use googly eyes on my bunny paper craft?

Certainly not! If you don’t have them or don’t want to use them, you can draw the eyes with a colored pencil or colored marker.

What is the best type of glue to use?

My preference when working with young children is washable glue. There are many different brands of washable glue so use your preference.

Glue sticks are also a favorite of mine. Tiny hands can manage them very well.

Why should I use construction paper for this craft instead of regular colored paper?

Construction paper is a thick, colored paper typically made from wood pulp, recycled fibers, or a blend of both.

It’s known for its rougher texture and availability in a variety of vibrant colors. Because of its thickness, you will find that it is more sturdy and durable.

Cardstock is also an acceptable option but you should consider that it may be less cost effective.
