Handprint Bunny Craft

Servings: 0

Ingredients

  • Pastel construction paper
  • Pencil, Pencil crayons or markers for decorating
  • Scissors

Instructions

  • Trace the Handprint: On a piece of pastel construction paper, trace your child's hand, making it slightly larger than their actual hand size for easier manipulation. Cut out the handprint making sure that between each finger there is a sharp cut rather than a rounded edge.
  • Make a Slit: Carefully make a slight slit between the pinky and ring finger, enough so you can fold the pinky finger down to the same level as the thumb.
  • Fold the Fingers: Fold the pinky and thumb fingers down to create the bunny's paws. You want to fold the paws towards the center of the bunny so that they can touch.
  • Cut Off the Middle Finger: Snip the middle finger off at the base, round it off so the head is even. This will leave you with the bunny’s ears (the remaining two fingers) and the body.
  • Decorate Your Bunny: Use a black gel pen or thin marker to add eyes, whiskers, nose and a mouth to your bunny. Don't forget to color in the ears and add little feet at the bottom of the palm.
