Supplies Needed to Make Paper Plate Easter Bunny Craft

Instructions for Paper Plate Easter Bunny Craft

Step 1

First, take one of the paper plates and cut it into thirds, like shown.

You won’t need the middle piece.

The two sides will become bunny ears.

Step 2

Next, using scissors cut out of the light pink craft felt a shape that is smaller than the ears. This will become the inner part of the Easter bunny ear.

Paper plate craft tip:  I just eye-balled it. Once you get the shape right, cut out an identical shape from the light pink felt.

Step 3

Glue the pink inner felt ear cut outs to paper plate ears with the school glue, like shown.

Step 4

Now let’s work on the Easter bunny head!

1. Make a small pink heart cut out from the pink felt.
2. Take the other paper plate and glue the small heart shape onto the middle of the plate with the school glue.

Step 5

Take your 3 pipe cleaners and glue them just under the nose with the hot glue gun.  Bend the top and bottom whiskers slightly.

Paper plate craft tip:  Older children can probably do this part on their own, but a grown up will need to help younger kids.

Step 6

Then glue the cotton balls onto the pipe cleaners with school glue, like shown below. We used 3 cotton balls on each side.

Step 7

Using the school glue, adhere the googly eyes onto the Easter bunny.

Then take a black marker and draw the mouth and teeth.

Step 8

Finally, you can attach the ears to your Easter bunny with a single staple per ear. For a finishing touch I used the remaining light pink felt and added a little bow tie for our Easter bunny. I also rounded out the top of my bunny’s ears.

Our Experience With This Easy Bunny Craft

We loved making these adorable bunnies with paper plates and cotton balls. All little bunnies need fun whiskers! This DIY Easter bunny craft was one of the best ideas for my little ones. They’re not quite experienced with crafts to make challenging Easter decor or items like garland, wreath, a bunny card, foam cup bunnies, but rather are still building their art skills with simple crafts. My preschooler did quite a bit better with this easy Easter bunny craft than my toddler, but it’s still easy peasy enough that my toddler got to participate in easy Easter crafts. And when you are done making your paper bunny, you can hang it up on the fridge, give it to grandparents, do something special with it for the kiddos.
