You can keep it simple if you need a quick Easter craft and have the kids leave the paper plates white, or you can have the kids paint their paper plates, making the craft even more adorable.
How to Make the Paper Plate Bunny Craft
What you need:
- scissors
- glue
- two paper plates
- white paper
- pink color paper
- black marker
- white chalk marker (optional)
Step by Step Tutorial
You can leave the paper plate as is, as many bunnies are white. You can also have the kids paint the paper plates (all colors work our great).
If you have a paper punch, punch out a bunch of white circles (especially handy if your kids painted the paper plates). These circles will be used to make the eyes.
Cut out a triangle or oval shape from the pink paper for the bunny’s nose.
Glue the eyes and nose onto the paper plate.
Make the eyes with the black marker.
Have the kids draw the mouth, too!
You can also have the kids draw white spots inside the eyes.
Now it’s time to create those adorable bunny ears!
You can cut parts of the ears out of colored paper, or you can have the kids paint the pink part on the paper plate directly.
It will look perfect either way.
Grab another paper plate and cut it in half (and trim a little). These will be the bunny’s ears.
Have your child glue the pink ear shapes onto the top of each half.
Then, glue the entire bunny’s earbehind the bunny’s head.
Your paper plate bunny now has the sweetest ears.
With the bunny’s face and ears all in place, kids can optionally add some final touches (they could use colored markers to draw whiskers).
With just a few simple steps, you and your little ones have created an adorable paper plate bunny that will bring smiles all around.
Display it proudly or share it with friends and family to spread some Easter crafts love.
You can use colored cardstock instead of second paper plate to make the bunny ears as well. While the white bunny is simple to make, we think colored ones look even cuter.
You can also accessorize the bunnies by adding bows or flowers to their ears.
Why not add bunny feet for extra cuteness?
