Lacey, my eight-year-old, is in her prime craft-making stage. It’s her thing, and our kitchenette is the proof—our glass table is a living canvas of her art adventures. Covered in paint marks, each one tells the tale of afternoons spent in creation. Sure, a shiny new table might cross my mind now and then. But then I look at those stains and I remember why they’re there. They’re not just spills; they’re Lacey’s, they’re creativity, and they’re priceless. So the table stays, as a sort of gallery of her young talent.

Craft time is Lacey’s thing, and with Easter around the corner, we’re all about those bunny crafts. They’re perfect for little hands and big imaginations, from the simplest cut-and-paste jobs to something a bit trickier for the older kids. Ready to start? Here are a few Easter bunny craft ideas that are sure to be a hit with your own crew, no matter their ages.

Easter Bunny Crafts for Preschoolers

For little ones, crafts need to be simple and safe. Handprint bunnies are perfect for preschoolers. All that’s needed is some paper, non-toxic paint, and a little imagination. Moms can help their preschoolers dip their hands in paint and press them onto paper. Once dry, these handprints can be turned into bunnies with the addition of ears, eyes, and a cute little nose. This activity is not only fun, but also a great way to create keepsakes.

Handprint Bunnies for Preschoolers

Materials:

• Non-toxic washable paint (preferably in light colors)
• Plain paper or canvas
• Paintbrush (optional)
• Markers or crayons
• Paper plates or a paint tray

Instructions:

1. Pour some paint onto a paper plate or paint tray.
2. Assist your preschooler in coating their hand with paint, except for the thumb. This is to ensure that when the handprint is made, the thumb doesn’t create an extra print.
3. Press their painted hand (minus the thumb) onto the paper or canvas. The index and middle fingers, as well as the ring and little fingers, will create the two ears of the bunny, while the palm forms the face.
4. Let the handprint dry completely.
5. Once dry, use markers or crayons to add details, transforming the handprint into a bunny. Draw eyes, a nose, and whiskers on the palm.
6. Feel free to embellish around the bunny with additional decorations like a bowtie or flowers.

Crafting with Elementary Age Children

For elementary-aged children, more intricate Easter bunny crafts are engaging. Paper plate bunnies are a hit in this age group. Children can use paper plates as the bunny’s face, adding construction paper ears, googly eyes, and cotton balls for the nose and whiskers. It’s an excellent opportunity for them to express their creativity while improving their motor skills.

Paper Plate Bunnies for Elementary Age Children

Materials:

• Paper plates
• Construction paper (white and pink)
• Googly eyes
• Cotton balls
• Glue
• Scissors
• Marker or crayon

Instructions:

1. Cut out ear shapes from white construction paper and smaller inner ear shapes from pink paper.
2. Glue the pink paper onto the white paper to complete the ears.
3. Glue the ears to the top of the paper plate.
4. Stick googly eyes onto the plate to form the bunny’s eyes.
5. Glue a cotton ball in the center for the nose.
6. Draw a mouth and whiskers using a marker or crayon.
7. You can also add other decorations like a bow or a hat made from construction paper.

Easter Bunny Crafts for Older Kids

Older children often enjoy more challenging projects. A 3D Easter bunny made from craft foam or felt can be a fun project. They can cut out the bunny shape and decorate it with fabric scraps, ribbons, and buttons. This type of craft not only helps older kids to engage in more detailed work but also allows them to create something that can be displayed as a festive decoration.

Instructions:

1. If using a template, trace the bunny shape onto the craft foam or felt. Otherwise, freehand draw a bunny shape.
2. Carefully cut out the bunny shape.
3. Decorate the bunny using fabric scraps, ribbons, and buttons. Glue these items onto the bunny to add clothes, facial features, etc.
4. Allow the glue to dry completely.
5. You can also create a stand using a small rectangular piece of foam or felt, allowing the bunny to be displayed upright.

Easter Bunny Crafts for Adults

Using materials like grapevine wreaths, faux flowers, and decorative Easter eggs, adults can create beautiful, sophisticated decorations that celebrate the season.
