Paper Plate Bunny Ears
Kickstart your bunny crafting journey with this simple yet adorable project using paper plates.
You'll only need: paper plates, pink, white, and black construction paper, googley eyes, scissors, glue, and a pink pom-pom for the nose.
Creating the Ears
First, draw two large bunny ear shapes on the white construction paper, cut them out, and glue them onto the paper plate. Next, cut out pink inner ear shapes from the pink construction paper and glue them inside the white ears.
Once dry, cut out small black circles for the ear detail from the black construction paper and glue them on. Finally, glue on two googley eyes and a pink pom-pom nose to complete your adorable bunny face plate.
Adding Final Touches
You can make these bunnies come to life even more by having your toddler decorate their bunny ears with stickers, markers, or colored pom-poms. This adds an extra touch of personalization and fun!
Laminate the finished paper plate bunnies for durability, and let your toddler wear them as headbands or use them as decorative figures around the house.

You'll need: an egg carton, pink and white paint, paintbrushes, pink and white pom-poms, black construction paper, googley eyes, scissors, and glue.
Prepping the Egg Carton

Assembling the Puppets
Glue the googley eyes, white triangles (teeth), pink almonds (mouth), and pink ovals (inner ear) onto the painted egg carton cups. Let the glue dry completely. Finally, glue or staple a pink pom-pom at the bottom of each egg carton cup to serve as the bunny's hand.
