Part of the fun of Easter is getting to brighten things up in your home with a colourful and light new palate. My favourite way to do this with the kids is by making a fun paper craft such as a bunny craft and other Easter Sunday crafts.
These Easter activities are engaging for a child’s creativity and challenging for their motor skills as well. Plus, you get to accentuate that springtime feeling by decorating places in your house with the art pieces they create. Because spring is the time for spring cleaning, dusting off the cobwebs from last Halloween, and opening up the windows and blinds. This simple Easter bunny craft idea helps let in the sunshine and fresh air.
Making a Paper Craft Bunny
There are plenty of conventional ways to add pops of colour to your furniture and window dressings, or even tabletops. But if you have some coloured craft paper and a few other common crafting tools such as markers, glue, and scissors, you can fill your home with a lot of fun Easter inspired characters. There are lots of subjects to cover that will add a burst of springtime cheer, but none of them compare to the iconic Easter Bunny. This Easter paper bunny craft for kids is a delightful little activity that you can duplicate as many times as you like throughout your house. You can even make big and little bunnies using the same materials and simple craft making steps.
Printable Paper Craft Template
Making paper crafts with printable templates is the easiest way to introduce this fun activity to kids and get those projects on display. Here is a template for the paper craft bunny I made so you can have these little guys hopping around your house in no time. They work as great clues for finding easter eggs, or attach them to a popsicle stick to make them into puppets!

How To Make The Paper Bunny Craft
Step 1
Select coloured craft papers for the paper bunny craft. Print and cut out the template patterns. Trace the 3 small round shapes and the 2 strips on pink coloured craft paper, trace the scalloped border pattern on any coloured craft paper as you like, and trace the rest of the pattern on a coloured paper you’d like for the bunny. Cut out the traced patterns.
Step 2
Attach the 2 leg patterns on the big round cutout, with the paws facing outwards.
Step 3
Attach the small round cutout (tail) on either side of the body and also attach the scalloped border pattern on the top side of the body, with the scalloped border facing downwards.
Step 4
Attach the 2 thin strips along the ear parts of the head cutout. Attach the small round shape (nose in the middle of the head cutout). And after, attach the 2 round shapes on both sides of the nose (these are blush patterns).
Step 5
Use a black marker pen to draw the eyes, nose, and other details of the paper bunny.
Step 6
Attach the head cutout on the top side of the body pattern to complete the bunny craft.
