Growing Bunny Prints Easter Craft

Thanks to Eliza for this kids’ Easter craft idea that is sure to become a cherished family memento:

Every year the kids an I will make our Growing Bunny Foot Prints. (By this I’m not meaning the one the bunny makes before leaving the yard after hiding the eggs.) This is a craft you can do and save year after year to look back at how big their feet have gotten over time. It’s always a fond memory for mom and something to do and have fun with the
children. I’m not entirely sure your 15 year old will continue the tradition but assuming he knows how much you love doing it, one can only hope.

What You Need:

- Construction paper
- pencil
- cotton balls
- pipe cleaner
- glue
- beady eyes

Directions:

Make sure to wash your feet for this craft. Once it is completely washed and dried you can begin. Place the foot on top of the construction paper and trace it. Next, cut the tracing out and design your bunny. We normally use the heel to make the bunny’s head.

The head and tail: You’ll need to glue on one or two beady eyes and cut a bit of pipe cleaner for the whiskers. My kids will either color in a nose or use a tiny colored pompom. They draw in the face with a black marker and then stick a handful of stretched out (or regular) cotton balls for his tail.

The ears: Cut out two ears in whatever shape you want and glue them to the back of your bunny print. Wait for it to dry and hang him up. Don’t forget to let the kids color their bunny in or decorate it with stickers, glitter, etc.
