Springtime brings rain, which might seem gloomy to some, but it’s also a perfect opportunity for some indoor fun. If your little ones love to play in sun or snow, rainy days offer a nice change of pace. Indoor games and activities can make rainy days some of the most fun times and memories. The best way to build lasting memories is with a springtime activity, like making an Easter Bunny craft. Crafting activities provide entertainment and hone fine motor skills. They also create a lasting souvenir of all the fun times you have crafting art together.
The Perfect Rainy Day Easter Bunny Craft
The next time you are stuck indoors because of the rain, I highly recommend you pull the craft paper, glue, and scissors out of the art cabinet and start to work creating a colourful scene that features the Easter Bunny. This Easter craft idea also uses white embossed paper which you can easily find at your local craft store. The embossed paper will be used for clouds, which are an essential part of the scene. The best part however is the little pockets you will make in the bushes. These pockets will carry items like Easter eggs and carrots that you make just for this cute activity.
How to Make Your Own Easter Bunny Craft
Make sure you have all of the following supplies and your kids will have a blast following these 8 simple steps to make their own Easter bunny paper craft with hideaway Easter items. This is an easily made craft and an activity that lasts beyond the crafting. It can be an enjoyable game and afterward an adorable keepsake of your holiday together. You can use the steps in making this Easter Bunny scene as inspiration to create a scene and activity of your own. I also recommend using unconventional colours or making the scene take place at different times of day using different shades and colours for the sky and bushes.
